18 Weeks Post Shave


It's been 18 weeks since I shaved off my hair and the above picture shows what my freshly washed hair currently looks like. I'm still washing my hair everyday but I've incorporated Rice Bran Oil and Brazil nut Oil into my wash day routine to help to prevent split ends and breakage. This study found that Brazil Nut Oil can prevent split ends and in this post I referred to a study which highlighted the fact that Rice Bran Oil strengthens the hair. I mix 50% Rice Bran Oil and 50% Brazil Nut Oil into a bottle and I apply it to my freshly washed hair. I apply Alberto Balsam Coconut & Lychee conditioner to my hair before rinsing out the oils so the surfactants in the conditioner can help to emulsify the oils preventing them from building up on my hair. I then proceed to condition my hair with Childs Farm strawberry and organic mint conditioner.
