Wash Day Chronicles

This week's wash day was a pretty good wash day for me. I really wanted to do a bentonite clay treatment on my hair but I had to make a store run and get some more. You ladies sure do buy up all the bentonite clay from the Vitamin Shoppe. lol I decided to be that person and bought up the last two jars from the store that I shop at. lol Let's get into this was day recap.

1. I made my treatment by mixing the clay with some apple cider vinegar and argan oil in a glass bowl. With my hair in four sections, I sprayed my hair with water and applied the mask to my hair.




















Here are a couple of pictures of my hair with the clay in it. I let the clay sit in my hair for a few hours and then rinsed it out in the shower.

2. I shampooed with Mane Choice's Detangling shampoo to help get the clay out of my hair and scalp. I used the Scalp Invigorator for a nice scalp massage but also to help remove the rest clay.












3. Next up was the detangling conditioner. This conditioner is very moisturizing and it defines my curls. When I rinse the conditioner out my stays moisturized.

4. I just ordered the Mane Choice deep conditioner, Until I get it, I deep conditioned and sat under the steamer with Mielle Organics Babassu Oil Mint Deep Conditioner.

 

5. Next, I applied the 3-in-1 Leave In and detangled my hair. I usually twist my hair and let it air try but I wanted to try another way to stretch my hair. I banded my hair. I find myself going back to this method every now and then. These are the results from them. I love how the leave-in gives my hair some shine. I rarely have any type of shine in my hair.

6. I used the above products to put my hair in my usual bun.

How was your wash day?

Disclaimer: Please excuse if my pictures are all over the place. I don't know how to fix that once the post is published.

  1. I love the shine, is it necessary to shampoo after the clay treatment?

    1. I don't think it is. I've seen videos of people going straight to conditioning after rinsing out the clay. I just prefer to. That way I can make sure that I got all of the clay off of my scalp.

  2. I got a scalp massagers a few months ago that I haven't tried yet, this post reminds me I need to get some batteries. Have you been using it with every wash day?

    1. I don't use it on every wash day because I don't remember it every time. But I do use it every time I use the growth oil and do my head massages.

  3. Nice! You can definitely see the shine! You gotta try curlformers for stretching your hair. They are amazing!
