Wash Day Diary - 5 Weeks Post Relaxer

Sunday 23rd
January
The days have
been flying by so quickly so forgive me for this late post on my wash day a
week ago at 5 weeks post relaxer...
I had hoped to
wash my hair on Saturday but had plans and was out for the whole evening so
wash day was pushed to Sunday. Sunday morning we had plans to go shopping etc
so I decided not to pre-poo my hair overnight on Saturday when I got home.
Sunday morning
came and my partner was in bed unwell so I started chores, started cooking,
made some jewellery, watched a movie, everything but start my hair… Halfway
through the above I decided it would be smart to pre-poo my hair and let it sit
whilst I finished cooking and the rest of my chores so applied extra virgin
coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil to the length of my dry hair, covered
with a plastic cap and towel turban and left on for a few hours.
I had to pop out
on Sunday evening so put my hair in a high messy bun and was out the door. On
my return I headed straight upstairs and washed my hair with Crème of Nature
Straight from Eden Hydrating shampoo lathering twice.
Once towel dried
for a few minutes, I went on to deep condition my hair with Crème of Nature
Straight from Eden Hydrating conditioner mixed with my castor oil mix, covered
with a plastic cap and towel turban and let me hair steam whilst I took a nice
hot bath. 30 minutes later once out the bath, I rinsed my hair using cool water
and t-shirt dried for 25 minutes.
When I removed
my t-shirt, my hair felt so dry and wiry and well words cannot really explain…
I just didn’t like the feel of my hair and this is not how my hair usually
feels having rinsed out my deep conditioner. I decided to pray for the best
that my hair would look and feel better once I had applied my leave ins so I
began spritzing my hair with the Crème of Nature Straight from Eden Detangling
leave-in and then used my hands to work the product into my hair. This achieved
nothing, my hair was still a wiry tangled mess and I was not happy considering
time was passing and I wanted to relax. I took a second to breathe then ran
upstairs for my Keracare leave-in as I knew it would help me through, I went
through and applied it to my hair in sections and sealed with Inecto Pure
Coconut oil Serum then detangled each section.
Once my hair was
90% dry, I moisturised and sealed with Elasta QP Olive Oil & Mango Butter
Moisturizer and sealed with my avocado oil and lavender JBCO mix, oiled my
scalp with my oil mix and put my hair in a loose bun ready for bed.
On Monday
morning, my hair still did not feel right. It felt dry and wiry and I knew I
had to do something so when I got home from work I decided to co-wash using Vo5
Give me Moisture conditioner and this
helped somewhat but I couldn't wait to wash my hair again properly.

Sorry your partner did not feel well. At least you managed to do as much as you could.
