What time is it? WASH DAY TIME! lol I have been itching to wash my hair for a few days now. As much as I love when my hair is straight after about a week and half I'm ready to wash it. I try to hold out until the 2 week mark but that didn't happen this time. Since I do not moisturize my hair much when it is straight I start to get see a few long strands of hair come out when I comb my hair and also when my new growth starts to revert at the root it makes it a pain to comb through too. Those are the signs that it is time to wash. So let's get into this wash day.
{1} Cleansed my hair with Naturelle Grow's Mango and Berries Cleansing Conditioner. Since I didn't have much of any build-up on my hair I decided to use a cleansing conditioner instead of shampoo.
{2} I applied Hairitage Hydration's Pink Grapefruit Punch Conditioner and let it sit for about 3 minutes. I had soft and moisturized hair when it was rinsed out.
{3} I deep conditioned under my steamer with Hydratherma Naturals Amino Plus Protein Deep Conditioning Treatment. This protein deep conditioner made my hair feel stronger. I would classify this as a light to medium protein conditioner. It strengthened my hair but did not make it feel hard. My hair was easy to detangle and it soaked this conditioner right up. I love when conditioners sink into my hair. I am very heavy handed with conditioners. This one is so concentrated that a little bit definitely goes a long way.
{4}Applied my leave-ins, Silk Hydration by L. Jones Leave-In and Kurl Pop, and twisted my hair to air dry. Well actually I did use the concentration nozzle on my blow dryer to knock some of the moisture out of my hair so that I wasn't going to sleep with wet hair. Then I air dried overnight.
<==== This is a picture of my hair in twists. They aren't perfect but they are great for when I dry my hair. They help to stretch my hair. Once I am done twisting a section, I go back retwist this base a bit tighter to stretch the roots more then I use a bobby pin to hold it in place. This method has been real good to my lately. I must admit that I really like how juicy those three twists in the back look. lol
Highlights:
* My natural hair fully reverted
* Finished my last bottle of Hairitage Hydration Pink Grapefruit Punch Conditioner YAY!
* 1 more use out of the NaturelleGrow Cleansing Conditioner then it can be tossed YAY!
* I am digging the Hydratherma Naturals Amino Plus Protein Deep Conditioner
* The three juicy twists

Your hair is holding up really well. I love the thickness.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteJuicy ain't the word chica! Those twists are PUMP! LOL. I'm really happy that your roots completely reverted. I think that I would be petrified if my roots didn't revert after straightening. How do you style your hair after they dry in the twists?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your #washdayexperience!

Lol thank you girl! I would be a little sad if my didn't fully revert. I try to act tough about it but I know that would be sad. Lol I just put my hair in a bun after I take the twist down. That's my go to style.
DeleteLove the thickness!
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch!
DeleteWow, you are hair is so thick! How did you wear your hair the next day?
ReplyDeleteThank you! I wore my hair in a bun. That's how I wear my hair majority of the time. It's one of the things that has been getting me through this stretch/transition.
DeleteCan you give me the link to Hairitage Hydration Pink Grapefruit Punch condish. I cannot find it on her site and I loved that stuff
ReplyDeleteShe changed the name of the conditioner. It's called Hibiscus Punch Conditioner. For some reason I can't post a link but just look for the new name.
