Just Call Me Slick
As part of Operation: God, Try To Be Less Lame, I'm experimenting with a new hair care thingie, namely coconut oil, which comes highly recommended by pretty much everyone in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
longhair , and I guess they would know. So when I was at Walmart with my dad last night I bought, well...not coconut oil, actually. But a product that is a blend of coconut, avocado, olive, and jojoba oils, which I think is not a bad thing at all. I also bought the first comb I have owned since I was a tiny sprog, because normally my hair EATS COMBS ALIVE, but this one looked like it could survive.
Tonight I sat down and did the whole thing through - combed out all my hair, worked in a good bit of oil, and then braided it up to leave overnight before I wash it in the morning. We shall see tomorrow if this does any good at all, or if it turns my hair into a limp nasty mess, or conversely, the Hair That Ate Albuquerque.
So far my major insight has been that I remember why I stopped combing my hair. Because even with my awesome new comb, I had to spend quite literally twenty minutes combing it to get it all neat and untangled - this after it had already been brushed well this morning! And, ten minutes later, when I was finishing working the oil in, it was already full of knots again!
*headdesks* Sometimes waist-length curly hair is just not worth the trouble.

Hunh. When Anne told me to do it, she said to leave it in for half an hour, and then wash it out.
