as small as a world and as large as alone

My hair right after it’s gotten mostly dry from a coconut oil treatment.  Took almost 24 hours from when I first put in the oil to when it dried (with a lot of washing and waiting in between), but it worked, I think.

What I did:

• Brushed a bit of water through my hair
• Brushed coconut oil through my hair
• Waited a long time
• Tried unsuccessfully to wash the coconut oil out with a mild shampoo
• Waited a long time, and my hair wouldn’t totally dry
• Washed the coconut oil out with a stronger shampoo
• Washed again with the milder shampoo, because it had moisturizing ingredients in it
• Conditioned
• After everything was rinsed out and my hair was still wet, sprayed a light mixture of water, olive oil, and coconut oil onto my hair (just enough to help lock in the moisture)
• Let it dry

And it’s darker, shinier, wavier, and softer than it was before :-)
