Hi Margeret,
Thanks so much! I think I may add rhassoul clay to my conditioner when I’m not just cowashing my hair if I’m not using the soapwort root cleanser. I still have a bunch of soapwort root herbs and stay stocked with rhassoul clay so I will use both and see which one gives the best results.
I’m also still kind of surprised that finger detangling hair does such an amazing job when your hair is saturated with conditioner. I’m glad that your hair has benefitted so much using henna too!
Have a beautiful day!

Hi Nadine,
I agree with working with what you have in the best way possible. It takes way too much effort to change the way your hair naturally looks. I’m realizing that building moisture in the hair equals healthy hair for me more so than wearing my hair up or doing braid outs. Nothing compares with co-washing a few times a week to maintain moisture in my hair for me. Also thanks for sharing the tip on scrunching your curls with a bit of oil.
Peace,
Dawn Michelle

OMG!!! Dawn I adore your curls!!! I too noticed my hair was too fine to deal with the Denman. (I only use it sparingly now) In using my fingers the majority of the time ,I find it gets all shed hairs out as well. I am trying to perfect this technique, as it takes time and patience. You have to make sure to go through all sections of your hair…underneath, inbtwn, etc. Will you still be using Rhassoul clay for cleansing when not cowashing or just the Soapwort root cleanser? I also need to look at the portion in the CG book about using a scrub for the scalp. Let’s not forget Henna!!! I absolutely adore it and I agree with all you have stated about aiding in the health of hair. Thank you for sharing this.

Love this post! Great info. I love my curls! I cringe when my fellow curlies do so much damage all in the name of straight hair. Work with what you got! I believe people give up on curls because they don’t know what to do it and how to make it look great! When in reality Good conditioned is all you need! I do scrunch my ends with oily wet hands though…

Hi csg99,
I am so happy that Minimalist Beauty is inspiring you. I am truly in awe that you have cleared out so much stuff already! That’s so amazing! I know that you must feel so liberated. I am also in awe that you can still find more stuff to release. It is definitely a new minimalist perspective that allows you to continually let go of anything unused or no longer needed. Best wishes on your new minimalist journey!
Peace,
Dawn Michelle

I love this site and get so inspired reading it and everyone’s comments! I have been working on the minimalist approach and it truly is so freeing! Just this morning I got together four large bags for resale, two bags of trash and a bunch to recycle. It always amazes me how I can come back to an area I’ve gone through before and still find more!
