Saturday 24th October 

My wash days used to be days that I would dread, but now that I am no longer constantly trying new products and instead stick with what I know works for my hair, my wash days have become predictably easier and days I actually look forward to. 

Here are the steps followed for Saturday's washday:

Pre-pooed my hair with my extra virgin olive oil and virgin coconut oil mix, covered with a plastic cap and towel turban and left on for two hours. Shampooed using ORS Creamy Aloe Shampoo for the first lather and then went on to do a final wash with Crème of Nature Moisture & Shine Sulfate free Shampoo.

Towel dried for 5 minutes then applied Aphogee 2-Minute Reconstructor to my hair, covered with a plastic cap and left on for 15 minutes whilst cleaning the bathroom then rinsed. Towel dried for a few minutes and then deep conditioned with Joico Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm mixed with my Castor oil mix of Lavender JBCO & pure castor oil, covered with a plastic cap and sat under hood dryer for 20 minutes, rinsing once cool.

T-shirt dried for 45 minutes before  applying my leave-ins; Crème of Nature Straight from Eden Detangling Leave-in, Elasta QP Olive Oil & Mango Butter Leave-in and Crème of Nature Argan Oil. I detangled my hair in sections, added a few drops of Fantasia IC Olive Oil Serum then air dried with a satin scarf laying down my edges.

I fell asleep whilst watching TV and I when I woke up my hair was 90% dry so I went on to moisturize and seal using Root2Tip Triple M Miracle Moisture Milk and my Avocado & Castor oil mix (avocado oil, lavender JBCO and pure castor oil). I also oiled my scalp with my castor oil scalp mix; pure castor oil and lavender JBCO and massaged my scalp for 5 minutes before putting my hair in a loose bun secured with a satin scrunchie and covering with a satin scarf for bed.
