A little background I have been transitioning since July 12, 2009 Four months and one Day! YEAH ME! So far my journey has been lovely i actually love rockin my signature style bantu knot outs and one days when i don't feel like redoing my hair i throw on a wig. The best part about transitioning in my opinion is that you fall in love with your hair. I have never felt this way about my hair. Fast Forward as i stated so far my transition has been seamless until (sound effect from horror movie inserted here) i tried a new shampoo...  So i had been using the vitamin brand shampoo and conditioner which is sulfate free but i wanted to try something different just to see if i could find something with better slip or results period. CVS had a sale on most of their sulfate free brands so i indulged. I purchase the Renpure Organics "my hair is pretty parched" line. So week one i cowashed with the conditioner and liked it a lot much better slip than my vitamin.So week two i had a bit of a build up so i decided to shampoo.
So I Prepooed with some cantu shea butter leave in and some olive oil. then I shampooed and conditioned no problem. Tied a scarf around the perimeter and went to watch a movie while it air dryed. When the movie was over i touched my hair to see if it was dry. only to feel a massive KNOT! i started freaking. So I ran to the bathroom and it was huge and there were knots all over and my hair felt stringy. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what had happened. until i re-read the label. it has silk proteins. then it dawned on me i could be protein sensitive. So i took days for my hair to return back to it's normal texture and feel. so i am having a bad hair week which prompted me to make another wig. (yeah that's right i made a wig lol)
 this is actually my second homemade wig since i've been transitioning and they are a nice protective style for times when i don't want to manipulate my hair or im being lazy. What i learn this week in transitioning is BE CAREFUL WITH PROTEIN! |
