Wash and Go Style on Transistioning hair

December 31st, 2011

Wash day!!!

It took me about 30 mins to take off my 11 day old cornrows and apply my pre-poo mix. While applying it, it reminded me of when I use to apply relaxer. The only difference was that my scalp was not on FIRE!

Here is what I did.
Use EVOO to unbraid the cornrows.
Part my bang section with fingers and then gently with comb. Clip with plastic butterfly clip. Section rest of hair with fingers and clip with plastic clips.

Make a mixture of EVOO, EVCO, Lustrasilk Olive Oil Cholesterol in a small bowl.
Start with bang section detangle hair using mixture and then two stand twist that section, clip with bobby pin. The reason why I use pins instead of the clip was because the clip pulled on my hair, and since I will be pre-pooing till this evening when I wash, it will be silly having the clips bulge out of my scarf.

Repeat until all section are saturated with the mix. Cover with plastic cap. Tie scarf.

Time to shampoo and condition!

After several hours of "marinating", I used my CN detangling,conditioner shampoo to wash my hair, still doing so in sections. Note, this is the first time I have ever washed in sections. I then applied my Silk Element luxury condition. I love the way it feels. I covered with plastic cap for 10 mins.

Rinse time!!!!

I trimmed 1 - 1.5 inches off my hair. Not missing my relaxed hair!
Actually, quite happy to see part of it gone; even though it was a small part.
Applied Shea moisture Deep Treatment masque. The jury is still out on that one. Massage a generous amount of BB growth oil as my hot oil treatment.
Cover with plastic cap and wrap head with towel.
Ding! Time to rinse....again.
Wash out the DC conditioner and section hair into two parts. Apply oil mixture (EVOO, EVCO, Jojoba, Vitamin E and BB Growth oil). Then apply Cantu Shea Butter leave in. Finish off with Shea moisture curl Enhancing smoothie.

My first wash and go

Some key things that I changed.
  1. I used my fingers instead of a comb to detangle and "finger-comb" when applying conditioner. I only comb during styling.
  2. I did not use any heat even when DC
  3. I did a hot oil treatment in addition to my DC treatement.

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

Image
@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2. Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut

How to get rid of split ends in Natural Hair

  @breezyspuffs (IG) Getting rid of split ends in natural hair involves a combination of good hair care practices and regular maintenance. Here are some effective ways to manage and reduce split ends: 1. Trim Regularly • Schedule Regular Trims : Every 8-12 weeks, visit a professional stylist or trim your hair at home with sharp hair-cutting shears to remove split ends. • Search and Destroy Method : If you prefer not to cut your hair often, this method involves trimming individual split ends as you spot them. 2. Moisturize Your Hair • Use a Deep Conditioner : Regular deep conditioning helps retain moisture, making hair less prone to splitting. • Leave-in Conditioner : Apply a leave-in conditioner after washing to maintain hydration throughout the day. 3.
