Wash Day Diary - 6 Weeks Post Relaxer
Thursday, February 04, 2016
I have been so
late with my posts recently; there is just not enough hours in the day. In the
last few weeks I have been building my jewellery business back up and in doing
so I have been struggling to find time to blog as I also need to spend and
enjoy quality time with the family. I have been documenting what I have been
doing with my hair and have decided to have set days for blogging which will be
Sundays and Wednesdays. Sunday posts will mainly be washday posts and Wednesdays
will be more varied with regards to product reviews, hair updates, and coming
soon will be hair tutorials and much more.
That said here
is what I did for my wash day on Saturday 30th January:
I pre-pooed with
Aphogee 2 Minute Reconstructor sealed with extra virgin olive oil, covered with
a plastic cap and left on my hair for a few hours then went on to shampoo,
first lather with ORS Creamy Aloe shampoo and then Crème of Nature Moisture
& Shine shampoo for the second lather.
I towel dried my
hair and then applied my deep conditioner mix of Crème of Nature Intensive Conditioning
Treatment mixed with my castor oil mix, covered with a plastic cap and then
applied a flannel soaked in hot water over the plastic cap and applied another
cap over the flannel to try to steam my hair. I then sat under the hood dryer
for 40 minutes and then rinsed once cool.
I t-shirt dried
my hair for 30 minutes and then applied my leave ins; Creme of Nature Straight
from Eden Detangling leave-in, Keracare Leave-in and sealed with Inecto Pure Coconut
Oil Serum. I detangled my hair in 6 sections and then air-dried using the satin
scarf method which laid down my edges. When my hair was 90% dry I put my hair
up into a loose bun, covered with a satin scarf and went to bed. Sunday morning
I intended to wake up and moisturise and seal but I had breakfast then started
making jewellery and updating my etsy store so I just put my hair in a loose
high bun and then left my hair alone for the rest of the day.
After such a
horrible disaster wash day last week I am so glad this wash day went smoothly.
I have made an executive decision not to purchase or try any other shampoos or conditioner
for the duration of the year as I know what works for my hair and I don't want
to complicate things making my wash days more hard work than need be. I am all
about keeping things simple...
How was your wash day this week?
