Co- Wash day.

10:34

Pre poo: herbal essence conditioner

Co-wash: As I am Co-wash cleanser
Finishing up: Wrapped my hair in an old t-shirt to get rid of excess water
Leave ins: Applied African pride shea butter leave in and sealed with coconut oil.

As you can see this was a very minimal wash day. I used only 4 products out of my 6 product stash. Recently I have be trying to keep my wash days along with my hair regime very simple.

My Minimalist Hair Product Stash

16:05

I did a previous post regarding my thoughts on my hair and how I want to improve the health of my hair, see post here. I am currently 6 months post relaxer and I'm not 100% sure when my next relaxer will be however I have now constructed a minimal hair regime that I feel will help me progress in my hair journey.

Over the last 3 to 4 months I have been trying to reduce my product stash and I have made an effort to stay away from the hair shops unless I need to replace a product. I am now down to 5 products that I use regularly

Coconut oil (Pre poo, detangler and sealant)
Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus shampoo (cleanse scalp and hair)
DR Miracles damaged hair medicated treatment (protein treatment)
Aunt Jackie's in control conditioner (deep conditioner)
African Pride Shea butter leave in (leave in conditioner)

I am currently trying to choose a staple cleansing conditioner, in my stash I have the As I am cleansing conditioner and the Cantu Shea butter co wash. Once I have decided on what product suits my hair better I will do an update.

SB: I also use Cantu Shea butter shine and mist when doing the LOC method on my hair, however it is not yet a staple.
