It feels like it's been awhile since I've done a wash day post. Like to hear it...Here it go. (that's from In Living Color for all you youngins'. lol)
I went back to Huetiful last Friday to have my color touched up the for long weekend. She didn't use bleach again. My color is a bit more vibrant then when it was first applied back in January. I decided to wash my hair after just 5 days because my hair reverted way to quick. It became too difficult to wrap and even ponytails weren't working. Those were signs that it was time to wash.
{1} I decided to just do a mid-week co-wash/deep condition because my hair needed a boost of moisture. Since my hair didn't have a lot of product in it I didn't feel the need to shampoo. So my DC of choice was the 10-in-1 Renewal Hair Masque. My hair soaked the conditioner up instantly. I love when that happens. I rinsed my hair under the shower long enough for my hair to start reverting. Then I applied the conditioner in sections, twisted it up and put on 2 plastic caps because I was too lazy to steam. The masque has a whipped consistency to it. Unfortunately, I can't smell much of anything due to sinuses but I would guess that it smells like it body product counterparts. They have a fresh perfumey smell but not strong at all. This product left me with a good first impression.
{2} It rinsed out very easily. After rinsing, I applied the JBCO Leave-in to soaking wet hair then sealed with an old favorite, Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum. I twisted my hair. I took my time and did more twists than I normally would in hopes that putting my hair in bun tomorrow won't be much of hassle.
This wash day was just as uneventful and straight to the point as any other. I will update this post tomorrow on how my hair dried.
Update (5/28/25): I am a fan of the Shea Moisture JBCO Leave-In Conditioner and Organix Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum. Today my hair very moisturize and not greasy feeling at all. It's also pretty fluffy. Doing the twists in smaller sections is a better choice for me.
How was your wash day?
I wash every week to two weeks and it's a beast with this new growth.
ReplyDeleteI understand that. It becomes more manageable as time goes on.
Deletethe leave-in and serum are both on my favorite list, I may try the mask.
ReplyDeleteWith the way my ahir feeling right now I think I can ssay the leave~in is the truth. I have serious hand in hair disease right now. Lol
