Petroleum Jelly: A Friend and Enemy and My Theory (The experiment-pt2)

written by Flower princess of Vivid thoughts of Glory©

I proceeded to try it after a long time of avoiding it. The first impression was actually pretty good I felt that the hair scales where smoothed so I knew it was good. I proceeded to twist it I monitored the twist out a day later it was ok nothing extraordinary shiny moisture minimal frizz and defined. I then twisted back.

Now almost a week my hair is not dry as I expected. I actually moisturized and seal again in that week. But still it supposed to be dry? According to what I have been hearing.

Now let’s come to the petroleum’s that makes petroleum jelly evil.

No complicated talk let me analyze it the easy way:

Scalp: it can, let me say can slow down hair growth and block the scalp follicles: I didn’t recommending on the scalp so that is out of the talk
Hair: it can block moisture from leaving or entering the hair shaft: doesn’t that remind you of anti humectants?
It attracts dirt: Most of the hair products attracts dirt hair itself can hold on and smells just like our clothes sebum can attract dirt and dust so do oils.

It must be wash off with shampoo- Most trichologist and hair experts don’t down the use of SLS shampoo so it is a delicate matter.

watch out for part 3! :)

If you have been struggling to do flat twists here's how to do it.
They might look bad in the very beginning of but with time and trial the'll look better.

1.Part your hair vertically for the flat twist in the same manner they part for cornrows

2.Grab a small piece of hair from the beginning of the section you are about to flat twist.

3.Split it into two -let's call it A(left ) and B(right)

4.Twist it anti clockwise or clockwise.Lets say now we are doing it anti clockwise,so i twist/cross B over A

5.Grab a little extra hair from the section,add it to A and twist/cross A(with the added hair) over B.Now B will be behind A.

6.Grab a little extra hair and add it to B now twist B over A and continue step 5 and 6 till you end the twist.

7.Once you reach the end continue by doing a regular 2 strand twist.

Tip:While doing this keep your hands close/on top of your scalp.
