Wash Day Diary: Sept 17th 2014 : Make It A Combo?


Last wash day, I was suppose to do a clarification, well, didn't do one, so I decided to do it today. I tried something new today. Because I do not like the way my hair feels when shampooed (hence why I do not do it so often), do the following:

  • Coat hair generously with Extra Virgin Coconut Oil and do a dry detangling session
  • Jump into the shower
  • Rinse one section of hair with lukewarm water
  • Apply Giovanni 50:50 Balanced Hydrating-Clarifying Shampoo
  • Then on top of that WITHOUT RINSING OFF apply Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle Conditioner
  • Continue to all sections
  • Rinse each section off
  • Then reapply Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle Conditioner
  • Did my shower bizness!
  • Rinse off conditioner
  • My hair felt uber-soft!
  • Deep conditioned with SheaMoisture Purification Masque, just to make sure all product buildup was removed and my scalp had been itchy a little
  • Cover hair with plastic cap and sat under dryer for 30 minutes under medium heat
  • Remove  plastic cap, wait 15 mins for hair temperature to return to room temp
  • Apply generous amount of VO5 Strengthening Conditioner
  • Rinse hair
  • Seal with Cold Aloe Vera Juice

Post Wash
Because  I used a moisturizing non-protein deep conditioner, I always use a protein leave in to give a moisture-protein balance. Hey, that's what I do.  LOL!
By the way, when deep conditioning direction calls to apply "moderate heat", what is MODERATE HEAT?

  @garshellm While split ends are often caused by environmental factors like heat styling, sun damage, and mechanical stress, there can be a genetic component to split ends as well.

For example: 1. Hair texture: People with fine or brittle hair may be more susceptible to split ends due to the hair's inherent weakness. 2. Hair porosity: Hair with low porosity may have a harder time absorbing moisture, leading to dryness and split ends. 3. Hair elasticity: Hair with low elasticity may be more prone to breakage and split ends. 4. Hair shape: Hair with a certain shape or curl pattern may be more prone to split ends due to the way the hair bends and stresses the hair shaft. However, it's important to note that genetics is not the sole caus

Hair damage: Chemical processing, heat styling, and mechanical damage can alter the hair's cuticle layer, affecting porosity. 2. Hair care routine: Frequent use of harsh products, excessive heat styling, and inadequate moisturizing can change hair porosity. 3. Environmental factors: Exposure to sun, wind, and dry air can cause hair to become more porous. 4.
