My hair is still flaking but I'm happy to report that the ACV rinse was a success. I shampooed and then used the diluted mix of appple cider vinegar. It was equal parts ACV and water. I just poured it over my head and let it sit for 2 or 3 minutes. After that I deep conditioned with my whole avacado and a few drops of jojoba oil. My scalp felt cleaner and I think my hair was noticeably shinier right after the rinse. I definitely plan on doing this again, although I don't know when.

My hair is still flaky but I've noticed that it's around the sides more than the middle so it could also be the products I use. I just realized that I've been using a gel from before I started this process and it has petrolatum in it. This could be the cause of the flaking. But it's the only thing that will slick my edges down so I'll have to keep it for now.

...Nappy Trails to you!


I'm so ashamed I can't even take a picture for proof and none of the pics on line are sufficient. I have dandruff! Secretly, I'm happy becaue when I had a relaxer it usually meant that it was "growing dandruff." But it's really frustrating because it barely itches but every time I move my hair it starts snowing. I've googled it and the debate is a little heated about whether growing dandruff actually exists. All I know is that I haven't had dandruff these last few months so it's definitely something different. I guess only time will tell.

I don't want to get to Peru with a headful of dandruff (growing or otherwise) so I'm going to try a quick remedy. I've heard that apple cider vinegar rinses work well for clarifying so I'm going to try that as a cheap fix. After that I'm also going to try an avacado mask.

Oh yeah: I also will be buying and trying Palmer's Coconut Oil Hair Milk. I think it would be a good leave-in and I've also been a little frizzy. The reviews on the Long Hair Care Forum were mixed so I want to try for myself. Maybe it'll be good for the frizz and dandruff.
