First Wash day of the year!

I’ve been doing some thinking and I really want to change around my blog. I’m planning on writing a post 3x a week and I’m thinking about doing YT videos about my hair. For the posts, I’m thinking about doing Sunday, Wednesdays and Fridays. These are the days where I wash my hair except for Friday. On Friday, it’s just going to be Random posts talking about hair updates, product reviews, etc. Okay, back to my hair!

1)     Pre-poo was inspired by Naptural85’s 25 Minute Co-Wash + Detangling Video which will be linked here. I used Coconut Oil and Suave Naturals Tropical Coconut Conditioner. I used my lovely Laila Ali’s Conditioning Cap for 30 minutes. The product review post will be here. So, I put the cap setting to high and started screaming because I forgot that the heating wire was on my forehead. Instead of getting help, my best friend decided to just laugh. Lol

2)     I shampooed using Aussie’s Moist Shampoo twice. I love pre-pooing before I shampoo because my hair does not feel stripped at all. I did this part twice. My hair still felt soft and very moisturized.

   3)     I t-shirt dried my hair for a few minutes then applied Hollywood Beauty Olive Cholesterol. Since it was so early in the morning, I decided to leave this on overnight and proceed to wash it out in the morning.

   4)     In the morning, I rinsed it out with cool running water. My hair does not like this product anymore. My hair felt so weird BUT I’m not giving up just yet since I’m in need of protein. I’ve been staying away from protein for a few weeks because I used it 2x in a row. To prevent having protein overload, I just incorporated moisture in my hair constantly. I would rather get moisture overload because that is easier to fix.

  5)     I air dried after using a t-shirt to soak up most of the water. I air dried with chunky twists without any product.

6)     I’m trying to change up my hairstyles since my go-to hairstyle is a Twist-out. I remember when I was first on my hair journey and tried to do a braid out and it came out horrible. My hair was really dry and it was a frizzy mess. Soo, this time, I was hoping that it will come out better. I used the L.O.C. Method using Water, Shea Butter and Cantu Shea Butter Leave-in Conditioning Cream.

These are the results:

How’s your recent wash day? Have you tried out any new protective styles?

Wash Day: A Very Serious Night

I’m baaaaaaccckkkkkk! I deeply apologize for the delay on blog posts but I honestly had a lot going on in my life. I went back to school for my Bachelor’s Degree and I’ve been struggling with grades since I kept getting sick majority of the times. But with GOD on my side, I managed to get on the Dean’s List for the term. But, lets get back to this hair!

Before Thanksgiving break, I blew out my hair for low maintenance during finals week. I kept the blow out in for 2 weeks straight. And that’s when everything went to Hell. My hair was really oily, it became itchy and on some spots on my scalp there was caked dandruff. But, I kept neglecting my hair because I was really tired. One night I became fed up and ran to the kitchen sink. I did my normal routine but I started crying (lol not really) because my scalp became really sensitive. I needed protein.

After washing my hair, a few days later, I did mini twists so that I can put moisture back into my hair since it felt dry. When I came back to school, I ended up taking them out because they began to look bad and I still had dandruff.  So, I ran in my shower room with my products, tools and began washing my hair.

[1] The first thing that I did was wet my hair and massaged to scalp to lift off any dirt and dandruff that was caked on my scalp. My hair felt so good and didn’t feel weighed down after I applied warm water to my hair. [2] I grabbed Aussie Moist Shampoo because I haven’t used it in a while and I wanted something with sulfate in it so that I know that my hair and scalp is squeaky clean. My hair was in 4 sections while this step was applied.

[3] I then used Aussie Moist Conditioner immediately after shampooing my hair. [5] I then t-shirt dried my hair for a few minutes and my hair felt back to normal. My hair was curly, went back to a fro and just really felt light and fluffy. [6] I used the LOC method using: Aloe Vera Juice + Water Mix; “Shea” Butter and any conditioner. For a style, I just did twists for a twist out.

I massaged it on my scalp, put on a shower cap then proceeded to do my business in the shower. I lightly detangled my hair in the shower which was the longest process because I had so many tangles and knots in my hair that it was ridiculous! Thank GOD that I bought a hair drainer because it was going to be A LOT of hair down the drain.

So, I learned my lesson. I will NOT be blowing out my hair for a very very very long time, I’m going to try to M&S my hair on a daily basis and I’m going to make sure that I keep up with my hair.

Once again, I’m so sorry that I was gone but now I’m back and plus I’m going home next week!!!!!

How was your recent wash day?
