Wash Day Dairy: The Scalp Knows | October 21st 2014


 
For the past couple of weeks, I have had terrible allergies. All desires to give my hair a “spa day” was out of the window. Between sneezing and blowing my medication due to seasonal allergies and all my medications not working, washing my hair was not even on my mind. Even though I did not wash my hair in 2 weeks, I still kept it moisturized, and even today, as I was starting my pre-poo process of V05 Conditioner and Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, my hair felt so soft and moisturized. It reminded me of a well marinated chicken. LOL! Regardless, I listened to that quiet voice and decided to wash “her” anyway.

Before I washed, I looked at my scalp. My last attempt to ditch wash day. LOL! Oh boy!! The tales my scalp was telling was like, Girl! I can’t believe you did not clean me in 2 weeks. And you know in the fall, I need more love. LOL! So, people even when your hair feels great, your scalp knows.

I should have done my scalp exfoliation, but decided to do it next wash day since my health was not yet at 100%. Instead, I opt to use the Trader Joe’s Tea Tree Tingle Shampoo mixed with the Tea Tree Tingle Conditioner and diluted with water to cut back on the stripping effect. The issue I have with the shampoo is that even though it is sulfate-free. It still strips my hair.

After cleansing my hair, I applied my Black Tea Rinse, and deep conditioned with SheaMoisture Intense Hydrating Conditioner (Moisture) under the hooded dryer for 30 minutes. My hair felt so soft.

Post Wash:

Massage scalp with my oil mix which contained Moringa oil.
Applied the SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Leave In Conditioner (Protein)

I twisted up my hair for my next style, ROLLER SET. Video coming soon, Subscribe toDiscoveringNatural to get this video.
