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!

Wash Day [5 weeks post]

Hello people,

So, I am about to make my first wash day post. I plan on making these posts more frequent. What better way to start than with the first wash day for 2015!

I hadn’t washed my hair in 2 weeks, because, I am currently wigging it, and I have scheduled wash days 2 weeks apart. And it is too cold and too dry to wash my hair frequently. I am 5 weeks post relaxer, and wash day was a breeze.

1. I finger detangled and twisted my hair in four sections.
2. I pre-poo’d with a mixture of ‘Suave Almond and Shea Butter Conditioner’ and Coconut Oil. I usually just do oil, or just conditioner but with the harmattan, I decided to mix the 2. I let it sit for one hour and proceeded to wash
3. I shampooed with ‘Crème of Nature Argan Oil Sulphate Free Shampoo’                                               
   
4. I deep conditioned for an hour, with ‘Creme of Nature Argan Oil Intensive Conditioning Treatment
5. Applied my leave-ins at 50-70% dry with ‘Cantu Shea Butter Leave-in Conditioning Repair Cream’     
   
6. Moisturized with ‘Elasta QP Olive Oil and Mango Butter Moisturizer
7. Put my hair in 4 twists, and slept in my satin bonnet.

And then today, (Saturday) went to the salon, and got cornrows installed for my wig.

I love how thick my hair looked after washday. My hair felt moisturized today even after 2 days, I am going to attribute that to my pre-poo mix.

Stay Awesome!
