Re: beth!

hey beth!

ok, first the towel thing. i used to toss and turn like crazy till i 'learned' how not to. it comes from my religion which is we try to follow the example of the Prophet Muhammed (pbuh). i read that he only slept on his right side (various reasons wont go into it here). so, i thought ok, i am gonna try it. and it worked. i stayed in the same position all night. so great for me as i have sleep disorder problems! was a very restful nights sleep. (plus, its better for your digestion too!)

so now, i mostly stay still at night. that is how i get the towel to stay put lol!! also, it helps me if the towel is a little damp and quite tightly pulled. i guess it is a bit of a hit and miss method though, will have to try and think of a better way...

ok. the hair oil thing. for me it was 2-3 days (sorry cant remember better!). but previous to that i had given up all my hair products for about 2 weeks and it was detoxing for that amount of time (completely unmanageable, heavy, dull etc). for me, the oil just finished things off in double quick time. but for you, it will be different most likely since your situation is different to mine.

if you can be brave for the detox it will be so worth it. but the detox will be hard. its like any of this body cleansing stuff, it gets worse before it gets better, but when it gets better its like nothing else you've ever experienced!! so in my opinion its worth it. i just pulled my hair up into a bun, clipped all the loose strands and toughed it out. so yes - wear a hat!!!

sorry i cant say how long you will have to put up with it!

that is really cool that you are starting out cleansing and better diet etc! i am too, have been cleansing/flushing for about 6 weeks. have had amazing amazing results! how has it been for you?

about the soap - i have found olive oil soap to be best. ive had to go on to vanilla soap cause i ran out and it did make my hair kind of dry at the ends. also, if you have dry hair you may want to coconut oil on it if you dont already (but with oo soap you prob wont need to!)

good luck with your 2nd attempt - keep us updated!!

ps heres my update: my hair is growing so fast since i detoxed it!! cant believe it - so happy since i cut off my long hair a while ago and i have really missed it so im hoping to have it all back how i like it a lot sooner than i thought - yay!
