Wash Day and Mini Chop

08:10


Products list
Argan oil 
Shea mouisture coconut and hibiscus shampoo
Argan smooth hair masque
African Pride Shea butter leave in

(1) I started off by sections for my hair in four and applying the argan oil to my hair and scalp. Place and plastic cap on my head and left it for 30 mins
(2) cleansed my hair and scalp with my shampoo 
(3) deep conditioned with the argan smooth hair masque for 1 hour and rinsed 
(4) towel dried my hair.

It was at this point the problems started, whilst my hair was still wet I applied my leave in and oil. I then parted my hair into sections and attempted to detangle my hair.

Whilst combing my hair I noticed that my hair was a lot more tangled than usual and a lot of hair was coming away from head. I got nervous and decided to cut out the knots and tangles instead of trying to detangle which resulted in a mini chop.


 



 
SB: I still have some texlaxed hair at the top of my head however the back of my hair is now 100% natural.
 
Once my hair was dry I braided my hair up and will be protective styling with my wigs.

Minimalist wash day

I have been trying to keep my wash days as simple as possible to minimise breakage as I am currently 10 months post relaxer. 

Products 
Coconut oil 
Tresemme naturals shampoo
Tresemme naturals conditioner
Cantu Shea butter shine and hold mist
African pride Shea butter leave in.


Detangling and Pre poo:
I began by removing my braids and applying coconut oil to my hair a scalp, I then used my fingers to detangle my hair.

Shampoo
Applied Tresemme naturals shampoo to my hair and scalp, rinsed then repeated.

Deep Condition
I parted my hair into 4 sections and applied the Tresemme conditioner to my hair. I did 4 bantu knots and put a plastic cap on my hair. I let that sit for just over an hour before rinsing my hair.

Leave ins
Once my t-shirt had soaked up most of the water I parted my hair into 4 sections and applied cantu shea butter shine and hold mist onto my hair followed by my African pride leave in. Then using a wide tooth comb to detangle my hair before braiding my hair up.

I let my hair dry over night and did a flat braiding pattern so that i could wear my wig.







I featured this wig in my previous post, the only difference is that I switched it from a side part to a middle part.

Wash Day : Still Relaxer Stretching

03:47
I didn’t actually realise this until today but I am nearly 9 months post relaxer, my hair regime has been the same since January and I don’t plan on changing it any time soon. The main questions is when will I be relaxing my hair again and the honest truth is I may not.


I currently don’t have any relaxer to hand and the whole relaxer process makes me cringe right now so I'm going to keep stretching until I get tired and either big chop or relax my hair.

 Products list

Tresemme Naturals Conditioner
SM Coconut and Hibiscus Shampoo
Dr Miracles
Aunt Jackie's in control moisturiser
African Pride leave in
Coconut oil.
(1) I started of off by adding the tresemme Naturals conditioner to my hair in sections and finger detangled my hair. I then let the conditioner sit in my hair for 30mins before rinsing it out.
(2) I then applied SM shampoo to my hair and repeated before rinsing.
(3) Applied Dr miracles medicated conditioner to my hair and left it for 5 mins and rinsed.
(4) Deep conditioned with Aunt Jackie's conditioner for an hour.
(5) I then wrapped my hair in a towel until my hair was no longer dripping wet.
(6) Followed up with my African pride leave in and sealed with coconut oil. I left my hair to dry in 6 braids overnight.

The next day when my hair was completely dry I braided my hair so that I could protective style with 1 of my wigs.

Wash Day - Bye Bye braids

07:53

Yep the braids have come out, I lasted about 2 weeks before I was over them. Ever since installing them my scalp has been soo irritated and will not stop itching. I apply an oil to my scalp 1- 2 times a day and co washed my scalp. However the itching remained and I no longer want to deal with it.


Prep and Pre poo: I took down the braids in sections and applied coconut oil to each of the sections. Placed a plastic cap on my head for 40 mins.

Shampoo: Using Shea Moisture, Moisture retention shampoo.

Deep Conditioned: Aunt Jackie's In control Conditioner for an hour.

Air Dry: I wrapped a t-shirt around my head until most of the water was soaked up.

 Styling: I parted my hair in to 4 sections and moisturised with African pride shea butter leave in and sealed with coconut oil  before detangling each section.


I let my hair air dry over night, then I did 10 braids and pinned them up ready for my wig.
