Hair Regimen?

I have come to realize that I really don't have a set hair regimen. I've kinda just been washing my hair when I feel like it and wearing a bonnet/scarf on my head at night. When I wear my hair loose (98% of the time) I usually use a spritz made of water, a few dollops of conditioner, and a few drops of an oil (coconut or jojoba).

My aunt sent me the Carol's Daughter Best Tressed Hair Set in the mail. So far I am LOVING it. The products seem to work well together and keep my hair soft, healthy, and smelling like heaven. For Thanksgiving I washed my hair using the Rosemary Mint shampoo, then used the Hair Milk on squeeze-dried hair. I sealed my hair (focusing more on the ends) with Lisa's Hair Elixir and put a little of the Mimosa Hair Honey on the front of my hair for shine when I did my puff. It probably seems a bit excessive, using all those products, but I was just so excited and wanted to try everything. I didn't use the Black Vanilla Leave-in conditioner that day, probably because I forgot about it, but that's fine. I did use it when I did my twists, though. I did my twists on dry hair and used a couple of sprays of the Leave-in and a bit of the Mimosa Hair Honey, again for shine. It also made my hair really soft. My twists feel like soft yarn or something.

I will probably be sticking with Carol's Daughter until I run out or get sick of it or feel that my hair isn't making any progress.

Hey, yall, welcome to my blog! I'm going to mainly be discussing health issues dealing with the body, and of course my natural hair journey. I am not a doctor of any sort, these are just my opinions so take them at your own risk :)

There might also be some random stuff about my life on here, but that will be categorized separately.
