I co wash with relaxed and natural conditioner weekly and shampoo monthly. These products are really hard to get over her in the UK I had to get them from EBay. I think that as I am not putting much in my hair then it is not dirty so no need to shampoo more than monthly. They smell wonderful and leave my hair feeling nice.

I have just discovered Silk Element Shampoo and conditioner after reading a blog. I am sorry that I cant remember whose. I have started to alternate with these. I got them from Sally's in Basildon so they are a lot easier to get. For me these top Pantenes Relaxed and Natural as my hair feels so soft and silky after using them. Silk Elements products are for keeps.

All 3 products came up to £17 ,what a bargain. Given that I colour my hair every 8 weeks I want to make sure that it does not dry out or start breaking because I have read some horror stories on Fotki and Blogs about this. I know that the Silk Elements both contain alcohol and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate but they work for me.
I love this coconut oil and use it in my hair in the steam or sauna especially after applying colour. I bought it from Tesco for £1.49. It is natural and made in Sri Lanka and is 100% pure coconut oil. This leaves my hair shining. I also use it on my skin whilst still damp and blot dry to make my skin really smooooooooth.
Finally when I shampoo my hair I use my own home made oil. This is Darbur Amla oil, Obtained from EBay, Organic Peppermint and Rosemary essential oil from http://www.baldwins.co.uk/ Sorry I cant remember the exact price for these but I know they were reasonable and then I am only using the oil monthly so it will last. One thing though because it is made from the Indian Gooseberry it makes your hair darker. I apply it warm to my scalp and then massage for a few minutes. It feels lovely and tingly.bye for now.
Look out for my 2 year anniversary pics in December.
Keep on growing.
