Wash Day Diary: Sept 22nd 2014: Deep Conditioning with Heat


Today is the first day of Fall! and I decided to cowash my hair. In the fall, I tend to wash my hair more frequently because it tends to be drier in the colder months. It is important to listen to your hair.

I started by cowashing with Eden Bodywash cowash, then applied the SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Treatment Masque (Protein Treatment). I sat under the hooded dryer for 10 mins. Have you been noticing that I have been using more heat on my hair lately. Well, that is also something I do more of in the fall. I use more of the heat from the dryer than from my body heat. I feel like when I do this my hair benefits more than using my body heat. In the warmer, summer season, I use my body heat because it is hot outside and I generate more body heat than when it is colder.

After deep conditioning, I rinsed and sealed with cold Aloe Vera Juice.

Post Wash
  • Massage scalp with oil mix
  • Applied Karen's Body Beautiful Leave In Conditioner (Sweet Ambrosia) (Non-protein Moisturizing Condish). Have you seen the vlog where Big Sis and Lil Sis met Karen?? Watch it here:



  • Twist up my hair.
Did you notice that I don't include a styling section? Well, most of the time, I will apply my leave in, and then let my hair dry a bit. ...a couple of hours to soak in all the juicy moisture and liquid, then apply my styler and style my hair for the week.  #SecretIsOut LOL!

What is the difference between Jamaican Black Castor Oil and regular Castor oil?

Image
The main difference between Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO) and regular castor oil lies in their processing methods, color, composition, and potential benefits for hair and skin. Here’s a breakdown: 1. Processing Method  • Jamaican Black Castor Oil: Made by roasting castor beans, which are then crushed and boiled to extract the oil. The ash from the roasting process gives JBCO its dark color and slightly smoky scent.  • Regular Castor Oil: Typically cold-pressed or processed without roasting the beans, resulting in a pale yellow or clear oil with no ash content. 2. Color and Consistency  • JBCO: Dark brown to black in color, thicker in consistency due to the ash content.  • Regular Castor Oil: Light yellow or clear with a thinner consistency. 3. pH Levels  • JBCO: Has a slightly higher pH due to the ash, making it more alkaline. This can help open up the hair cuticle and promote moisture absorption in some cases.  • Regular Castor Oil: More neutral in pH, ...

What to do when balding is hereditary?

Image
 Hereditary balding, also known as androgenetic alopecia, can be managed but not entirely reversed. Here are some steps to slow its progression and improve the appearance of your hair: 1. Understand the Condition  • Hereditary balding occurs due to genetics and sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which shrinks hair follicles over time.  • It often begins at the hairline, crown, or both in men, and as overall thinning in women. 2. Use FDA-Approved Treatments Minoxidil (Rogaine)  • Available as a topical solution or foam.  • Encourages hair growth and slows hair loss.  • Must be used consistently; effects diminish if you stop.
