Hey guys! I’m so sorry
for the late post but I had a big test to study for so Sunday was not a great
day for me. Monday afternoon, my hair was going through it so I decided to grab
my products and run to the bathroom.
Well, lets start with
my hair before I washed it. I’ve been very tired lately so I did not moisturize
and seal my hair for 2 days. Big MISTAKE. My hair was really dry, crunchy and I
could not manage to touch it. It was hurting that bad. I thought that I needed
another protein treatment but I just did that last week so I do not want any
protein overload. What I did think about was doing something that I haven’t
done in a while, clarify my hair.
I thought that
clarifying would be a great choice because my hair has been acting weird. I did
not pre-poo my hair because I’m getting rid of all of the product buildup since
the last time I clarified my hair, which was a really long time.
I went in the shower
and let my hair soak under warm water as I
massaged my scalp to lift up any
dirt and/or buildup. I used Suave Naturals Clarifying Shampoo. Within sections,
I shampooed my hair. The shampoo really made my hair feel soft until I rinsed
my hair out and it felt stripped. I wasn’t too upset about it because I am
clarifying my hair of any oils. After washing my hair, I grabbed Suave
Professionals Almond & Shea Butter Conditioner. I was planning on rinsing
this out and go deep condition but I was feeling a bit lazy so I stepped out
the shower and just deep conditioned with that conditioner. About an hour
later, I rinsed it out in cold water.
For the past few days,
I did not detangle my hair so that was a major pain killer. I caught hell just
trying to do that. Since I wear glasses I thought that I lost a lot of hair but
compared to days where a lot came out, it was a breeze in the wind. I rinsed
this out under cold water. I have to find a really good deep conditioner
because it seems as if nothing is really working for me anymore.
For the longest, I’ve wanted
straight hair for the longest, but I’m really scared to straighten it because
of my set back that happened in November. I only blow dried my hair but I
neglected it so much that I had major buildup and my hair was falling out. I’m
still recovering so the next time I will straighten my hair with heat will be
in April when I turn 21!
That’s when it came to
mind where I could do a heat-less blowout. I did this with these simple steps:
- Applied a scarf to lay
my edges down
- Tied my hair into 6
small ponytails to aid into straightening my new growth
- After a few hours,
moisturized and sealed using shea butter and BB Oil Moisturizer
- Detangled with a paddle
brush
- Air dry until the
morning
- Style as desired.
The way
that I styled my hair was section my hair in the front into two parts, twists
them then pinned them up. My hair has always been shorter in the front versus
the back. Since I haven’t straightened my hair since September, this would be
the best way for me.
Results:
My hair is still kind of tangled but I can manage with it. I’ve learned this
week that I need to M&S on a daily basis because it will hurt me in the
long run if I don’t. I do need to find a really good deep conditioner that’s within
budget because I cannot afford an expensive conditioner at the moment.
How was your recent wash
day?
