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?

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
