Do You Get Your Best Hair on Wash Day?

Chunky Twistout with Perm Rods on Natural Hair


Why is it that on your wash day, that is when your hair looks the best? Like well marinated chicken!!
Actually, tomorrow is wash day, but I decided to do it today because I need to do Big Sis's hair tomorrow. Lately, I have been washing the girls' hair every 2 weeks. However, if during that time, I need to cleanse their hair, I will co-wash.

I went to hang out with some friends today, and of course... as usual, I got great compliments on my hair. When I told my friends that I was going home to wash it, OMG! They tried talk me out of it. LOL! You know me, I need NEED NEED to wash my hair weekly. I tried the 2 -weeks wash day and my scalp was like, No Bueno!

Now that I have washed my hair with Naturalicious Rhassoul Clay 5-in-1 treatment, my scalp feels great and my hair is so soft and conditioned. I love this product!! After doing my LOCO method to moisturize my hair,  I decided to band my hair.


A couple of things that I have noticed about my hair lately:
  • When I use the clay to wash my hair, loose, my hair does not shrink up as much as it does when I just do my normal cowash or use my Bentonite clay treatment
  • I can now get away with doing 10 chunky twists and have a decent twist out
  • Perm rods are friends to my twists!! They give me a curly bouncy look
  • I do not need to put oil on my scalp every day.
What are some new things you are discovering about your natural hair?

    I have noticed that I loooooove perm rods, too! I tried them on my braids a few days ago (pics on Facebook) and I loved the results. Next time, very soon, I will try twists and more perm rods this time. I never did oil my scalp every day; just every other day when my scalp is damp, for the KCCM castor oil challenge. ;)

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. Minimize Heat Styling • Limit Heat Tools : Reduce the use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers. • Use Heat Protectant : When you do use heat tools, always apply a heat protectant to minimi
