Maintaining my hair under my wigs.

Whilst I protective style my hair, I usually braid my up and then apply my an oil mi to my scalp and onto the ends of my braids.

Every other day I spray my leave in onto my hair and re apply some more oil to my scalp. 

Whilst I am protective styling I will not be redoing any of my braids not will I be washing my hair

Wash Day.

Pre Poo: Used coconut oil to finger detangle and then coated my hair in it. Let it sit under a plastic cap for 1 hour.

Shampoo: Using Organix Argan oil and Shea butter shampoo.

Deep conditioned: Applied Aunt Jackie's in control moisturiser to my hair and placed a plastic shower cap on my head and a turban and rinsed out after about 2 hours.

Air dry: Wrapped a t-shirt around my head and left my hair to dry for about 30 mins.

Finishing up: I then applied my leave in and sealed with coconut oil.

SB: Before I applied my deep conditioner I cut off my damaged ends.

Once my hair was completely air dried I braided my hair up as I will be protective styling with my wig.

Bad Hair Week.

This has been one of the worst weeks for my hair since I began my hair journey and I can only really blame myself. 

Last wash day I clarified with ORS creamy aloe shampoo, I followed up with a protein treatment and my deep conditioner. After deep conditioning my hair seemed soft however after air-drying my hair I noticed a difference in the texture of my hair. 

My hair looked and felt really dry so applied some more leave in conditioner and oiled my scalp. 

I chose to wear the goddess braids as a protective style for the week however my hair still looks and feels horrible. 

I think it was the shampoo and protein treatment together that has made my hair like this so I will not being doing that again.

I have never been soo excited to wash and trim my hair. I really cant wait.

Wash Day: End of my hair vacation.

My hair vacation has come to an end so its time to give my scalp a good cleanse. The night before my wash day I decided to take down my braids and detangle my hair and re braid my hair in to 4 sections as I wanted to go to work with my wig on. 

Pre Poo: Used an oil mix of Hemp oil and castor oil and let it sit in my hair for 45 mins

Shampoo: Diluted ORS creamy aloe shampoo with water and clarified my hair.

Protein treatment: Aphogee 2 min reconstructor.

Deep conditioned: I then applied Aunt Jackie's in control conditioner to my hair and left it for and hour and then rinsed.

Air-dried and styling: I wrapped a towel around my hair for a bout 45 mins and then applied my African pride leave in and sealed with coconut oil. I then detangled my hair from my ends to the root and braided my hair up into 4 sections and continued to air-dry.
