D.C.

**NOTE: In the seemingly dormant past month, I started a few posts but never had the time to really sit/think/finish them. This post originally started on October 4th but was posted on October 16.

A couple of weeks ago, I deep conditioned my hair for the first time. It was an interesting experience, I used this method and it took me about 4 hours (yeah, 1-2-3-4 hours). While my hair did in fact feel moisturized this week, I don't think I'll do this every week...twice-a-month is a possibility but with my schedule once a month seems more realistic.

A few words about detangling:

I am pretty sure that detangling took up most of the time because I have fine hair that likes to knot at the ends. Overall, my hair is not tangled, after it's finger combed MOST of it can pass through a wide toothed comb with no problems. Unfortunately, my ends are another story because about 3/4ths down a section I get resistance. Usually the resistance comes in the form of a few small knots, literally bottom of one strand knotted with another. Sometimes I can work through these knots with my fingers but other times thy just need to be snipped out. Eventually, I can get the comb through a previously tangled section of hair but it could take 15 minutes for one fistful of hair. So, unlike the lady in the video I have not found a way to easily run a wide toothed comb all the way through my hair (slowly or carefully). In short, detangling is a project for me with or without conditioner coating my hair. [/end]

Post D.C. rocking twists that unintentionally became my "style" for the (very hectic) week, I originally put them in simply to stretch my hair.
