Exploring Truly Natural Hair Care

I wish I could say that my hair has not changed after menopause, but it has. I have become a much less oily person, a much less hairy person, a more wrinkled and fragile skinned person, and my wattles are here til the end. My hair is like spider webs now. Each strand annoyingly fine and prone to tangling. I have learned to be ok with once a week washings, a faux silk pillowcase, and a boar bristle brush. Those really do wonders on spider silk hair! A lot of crones my age opt for short hair but I find it just as easy to keep mine in a braid. Cover the growing grays? Helll naw, I am letting it shine. Since my scalp is now extremely slow at exuding its own protective oils, I do a pre wash rosemary olive oil treatment the day before I wash. My thirsty scalp drinks most of it by the next day, here lately. Then, I mix about 2 tablespoons aritha powder with 1/4 teaspoon of slippery elm powder in a silver pitcher with enough warm springwater to make it like a pudding. I work this into my hair from the scalp out. I let it sit for a bit, then I rinse thoroughly. I do not need a detangler after this regimen. I also never use any heat styling or blow drying. I discovered the spider silk hates that. Festus Bones has nothing to do with human hair care, other than occasionally licking mine and looking adorable all of the time.
