Hey guys, Today I got a lil’ bit more energy and I finally feel good for once, so, I decided to share you my wishlist for this month.
1. 1. Co-Wash
I have recently gotten VERY obsessed over CGM, and I really wanted to start a good, silicone-free routine for a long time, cause im very curly, and im so sick and tired of using things that I don’t like, and that don’t benefit my hair in any way.
So, I got myself a good bottle of conditioner, and went ahead and put it on my hair.
After a few days, I found myself wound up in a blog post about co washing, and it turns out I had the wrong things!
Fisrt of all, you shouldn’t wash your hair with regular conditioner, you’re supposed to wash it with actual co-wash
And, if I could remember correctly, you were supposed to have regular sulfate cleanses with clarifying shampoo. So as you can see, I kinda have to buy a lot. Well, a lot for me since I have ZERO budget, zero bucks, zero coins, NOTHING.
It was VERY FRUSTRATING to discover, since I had spent A LOT of money, and realizing that I got the wrong things really made me mad. So, I decided to wander into the amazing (to an extent) world of the internet, and I think I’ve found only ONE that actually fits into my budget, everything else is EXPENSIVE
Like girl, I was pretty stoked about this idea, like I was DOWN, like REALLY DOWN to get it, I mean, it has little to no plastic, it’s in a bar form, its good for the environment, WHATS NOT TO LOVE!(other than the lack of reviews and sales, still have to look into the product more.)
Anyways, moving on…
Now, I have had prior encounters with cgm before this, and, I have been using and doing techniques like plopping, scrunching,and raking for some years now, and I did have prior knowledge before I actually started this.
And I was so shocked to find out that you need to use clarifying shampoo, it didn’t dawn on me before that you needed to have a weekly sulfate cleanse in order to reduce buildup, like my entire world was a LIE, but then again I suppose that I am new to the ACTUAL (or atleast half) cgm experience, so maybe that’s why.
Anyways, I stumbled upon this suave clarifying shampoo, and I think im loving it.
I’ve had experiences with suave before, and I must say, some of their things are kinda good, however, my family can’t say the same. If I could remember, some of them had wacky ingredients, but im not sure if they really had ‘em or not, since my memory sucks.
Anyways, I am on the fence about this one, but it does look good and it seems as if it has a lot of potential. I mean it has been a filipino curly girl staple since almost-forever, so, I might take a further look into it.
Anyways, that’s all for today, since I have a lot of plans, and I kinda need to do em all, anyways, see you on the other side!
