Two Years Post Shave

It's been two years and three days since I shaved off my hair and the above picture was taken today. I did an overnight pre-wash treatment using Cantu Shea Butter Coil Calm detangler followed by Coconut Oil. Once I had applied the treatment to each section I placed my hair in loose twists to prevent knots and tangles. I washed my hair while it was twisted using Better Braids Medicated Shampoo on my scalp and ORS Olive Oil Creamy Aloe Shampoo on the length of my hair. After rinsing out the shampoo I used Childs Farm Conditioner to detangle my hair. After rinsing out the conditioner I applied my homemade detangling strengthening treatment. I placed my hair in two strand twists before rinsing out the excess product. I then placed a microfibre towel over my head to absorb the excess water.

This picture was taken after I washed and conditioned my hair today. My hair is still damp and it feels nice and soft. My homemade detangling strengthening treatment contains Water, Olus Oil, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Lactic Acid and a Preservative. It's wonderful because it softens and strengthens my hair at the same time.
