A couple of days ago I was doing a braid-out hairstyle, and while I was undoing the dried braids over the bathroom sink, I noticed that my hair was breaking quite badly. There were lots of little bits of broken hair all over the sink. I was very surprised at this. I had never noticed this before, because I don't usually comb my hair over the bathroom sink. I wonder how long this breaking has been going on. I am guessing that the reason for the breakage is that my hair must be quite dry, even though it doesn't feel particularly dry to me.
Today I decided to treat my hair with a mixture of Jamaica Mango & Lime Island Oil and Olive Oil. I damped my hair with water and saturated all my locks with the oils. I put on a plastic cap for a few hours and then washed and conditioned my hair. I will watch for any further breakage over the next few days. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that my hair is dry. The summer has been very hot, and I spend much of my day in an air conditioned office, which is quite dry. So my poor hair is paying the price for this.
