Quarantine has me killing my hair 😭

So...

 I kinda killed my hair…

As-salaam alaikum people. It’s been a while. How are you all?

Now let’s get into today’s post…

 

If you remember, I was in Lagos a couple of weeks ago. Anyway, while I was there, I treated my hair amazingly until one day; I was in dire need of washing my hair. You see, there was a ton of residue and stuff on my head, which made my scalp super itchy and made my hair feel heavy.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get shampoo at that time so guess what I did. I washed my hair with laundry detergent. Yes, you read it right. I foolishly saturated my hair with water then applied soap on it. At first, my hair seemed okay but you see, after every wash, I deeply condition my hair and that was before I decided to wash my hair with soap.

I also did not moisturize my hair after I brutally harassed it. My hair washing process is usually using a hair treatment for at least 2 hours, shampoo, and then deeply condition before air-drying (zero-heat) and braiding.

I sectioned my hair and air-dried it like normal then two days after; I prepared to comb it because I have to comb it daily if it’s not braided. I run my fingers through it first to make it easier to comb it. The texture of my hair seemed foreign but then I ignored like the fool that I was. I ran the comb through my hair hearing a disturbing sound. My scalp was dry, my hair was dry and I felt harassed.

I quickly got my moisturizing hair cream and started oiling my scalp and hair fearing the worst. Fast forward to three days later and my hair feels better. Suddenly, the nightmare continues.

Split ends!!!!! I was so angry with myself and my hair but I continued treating my baby because I love her.

Long story short, I nearly killed my hair then was miraculously able to save it. I keep thanking Allah every day.
