WASH NIGHT: 6 weeks post

I’m currently 6 weeks and 4vdays post relaxer. This week’s wash day was full of me trying new things. New product, new technique and new hair tool.

I got myself the “Dark and Lovely Amla Legend Rejuvenating Ritual” Hair mask about a week ago. Abena of ghanaianemprezz.com always had good things to say about this mask, so I had to try it. And yesterday, after researching for about a week, I bought myself a “Hair Therapy Wrap.’’ I decided to get this because school starts and this would make this easy to deep treat my hair while on campus. And I used it for this wash day because, once I got something new, I got to play/use it.

Wash Day:

• First, I pre-pooed with coconut oil for almost 2days because, I was feeling quite lazy, and I didn’t really have any place to go.

• I shampooed with ORS Creamy Aloe Shampoo, because, I felt the need to clean my scalp real good.
• Did an oil rinse*new technique* by applying coconut oil on my hair strands.  
• Then I did a medium protein treatment with ORS Mayonnaise, put on my thermal wrap *new tool*(yay) and finished an episode of Orange Is The New Black for about 25 minutes, the rinsed out.

• Rinsed out, and applied the Amla Legend Mask *new product*on my strands and used my thermal wrap again.

• Rinsed it out and then used my wide tooth comb as the water flowed through my hair.
• Wrapped my hair in a t-shirt to soak up the excess water, and then applied my leave in: Cantu Shea Butter Leave-in cream and air dried in twists.
• Moisturised with Elasta QP Mango Butter Moisturizer. It made a section of my hair feel hard, the rest felt fine. (If you have any idea why this happened, please leave a comment)

I didn’t seal last night as I moisturized and sealed this morning before getting back in my cornrows.

Over all, my hair felt great. strengthened but not lacking in moisture.

Stay Awesome!

Musings!!!!!!!!

This healthy hair journey is work. No lie! At the same time it's like sooooo worth it.  Like really!
I'm starting to feel frustrated as the year is ending.

1. MY GOAL OF APL HAIR BY DECEMBER!!!!! Where do I even start? I'm scared, plain and simple. I'm scared because I do not see myself making my goal and I know this and I'm disappointed. i know I'm probably being too hard on myself and I know it was an 'impossible' goal when I set it, but I still did. Has me so engrossed in hair thoughts. Plus I'm afraid I might have a setback. Lol. I'm just paranoid and afraid of the unknown. I'm currently in braids which is a good thing because my hair would have suffered.

2. I AM READY FOR A RELAXER TOUCH UP!!!!!! 20 weeks 4days post currently and ready. I'm in braids but I just know it's time I got a touch up. I plan on using ORS HairRepair Creme Relaxer. It will be my first time using it. I have gotten used to and fallen in love with the Profectiv Color Restore Relaxer. But for some reason, I'm drawn towards this one. I already made my order and I will have it on December 5th from Urban Makes. If you are in Gh and want to get a hair product or styling tool, head on to Urban Makes.

3. HAIR PRODUCTS AND TOOLS!!!!!!! I'm needing and wanting quite a number of hair products. I am going to get some and some I won't even think about due to monetary factors. Any one on a hhj know s how this feels. Plus I'm thinking of ways, I can spend less on my hhj with respect to praoducts. I have recently ordered from Urban makes; a Deep Conditioner (Elasta QP-11+), Processing caps,Peppermint Oil, JBCO. I'm wanting; Curlformers, A moisturizer, and a hair straigthener with heat settimg (YES!! I won't risk it though because I might straighten my hair e'rr day. lol).

4. UNHEALTHY HAIR!!!!!! My! My!! My!!! It is like I have an 'unhealthy hair' radar. I keep spotting hair that will do with a good deep condition, a trim, a wash and a BIG CHOP!!!! CUT IT ALL OFF. lol. And it is because I am on a hhj. It is slowly becoming a pet peeve. Welp! Plus unhealthy pony tails with rubber bands. Like you think they would know that rubber bands did that. Oh well!

5. HEALTHY HAIR AND HAIR ENVY!! Amazing thick hair be it relaxed or natural got me drooling. I pass by ladies with thick ponytails and I always look twice. I need to weave check some of these ladies. Seriously though!!!!

Anyway! Follow my Fb page!! MS DIRECTION GH

That is all with my reflection or thoughts. Let me know I am not alone! Do y'all feel like this too. Leave a comment.

Stay Awesome!!!!!
