Saturday 25th April

I have been MIA for quite a while but I am back and hope to be consistent going forward. I am 10 weeks post today, here are the steps I followed for yesterday's wash day:

Pre-pooed with L'Oreal Elvive Full Restore 5 Conditioner and sealed with Virgin Coconut Oil, covered with a plastic cap and jumped in a nice hot bath and let my hair steam for 25 minutes.



T-shirt dried for 20 minutes then finger detangled using Mane & Tail Detangler.  Applied leave ins; Root2Tip Honey Rain Juice, Giovanni Direct Leave In Conditioner and Crème of Nature Argan Oil to each section then detangled with a wide teeth comb. Applied a small dab of a mix of Organix Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum and Fantasia IC Olive Oil Serum and lightly spritzed with Fantasia IC Heat Protectant Spray. Covering my edges with a thin satin scarf to lay my edges and leaving the rest of my hair to hang down my back, I sat under the hood dryer for 20 minutes and ran my fingers through my hair until dry.

I did the LOC method on my hair to moisturise and seal in sections, spritzing my new growth and length of my hair with Root2Tip Honey Rain Juice, moisturised with Triple M Moisture milk and sealed with my Avocado oil.

I usually go for straight styles but fancied a change so decided to do a simple braid out style. I made a zig zag parting through my hair to give myself two bunches. I then braided each section, curled the ends with a small perm rod, covered with a satin scarf and went to bed. This morning, once dressed, I added a tiny bit of coconut oil to my fingertips and gently unraveled my braids. I went for simple style with my hair off my face by creating two loose flat twists to the front of my hair leaving the back to flow.  I am not overly impressed with my results but practice will make perfect. I will try a twist out next...
