How I Cleansed and Styled the Girls' Natural Hair in 2 Hours

After a weekend at the beach and swimming at the pool, it was time to give the girls' hair a bit of TLC. Before on our vacation, I had pack some items that we would need to do a quick cowash and moisturizing session after leaving any body of water.

Now that we are home, it's time to clarify.

I was a bit short on time, so the plan was to do this all under 2 hours.  I started with Lil Sis.

• Using the ShampooMate, my newest love! , I sectioned her hair into 4 parts and secured each with a butterfly clip.

Working one section at a time :

• Rinse with warm water to loosen any debris
• Apply SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Shampoo to scalp to clarify it
• Massage scalp
• Repeat for each section
• Rinse hair to let lather run through length of hair

Next was a protein treatment to strengthen the hair

• Apply Aubrey Organics GPB Conditioner to the ends and throughout the hair. Concentrate more products on the ends
• Leave on for 2 minutes
• Rinse

After this treatment, I did a moisturizing deep conditioning on her hair

• Using SheaMoisture 10-in-1 Hair Masque, apply to hair
• Cover hair with plastic cap
• Seat under hooded dryer for 30 minutes

While Lil Sis was under the dryer, I started shampooing Big Sis's hair. I followed up with the protein treatment and the moisturizing deep conditioning. By the time I was done, Lil Sis was ready to get out of the dryer, and I sat Big Sis under the dryer.

While Big Sis was under the dryer, I rinsed of Lil Sis's deep conditioner, and started with styling her hair.

• Started by applying my oil mix to her hair
• Applied SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Leave In Conditioner
• Applied Eden Bodyworks Pudding Souffle
• Put her hair in 4 sections using Snappee snap off hair ties
• You can get your at http://snappee.com Use discount codes DISCOVERINGBOGO or DISCOVERINGSHIP
• For each section, did 2 chunky twists.
• Gather all twists in a design

By the time, I was done doing this, Big Sis was ready to come out of the dryer and I repeated the steps above for her too.

YEAH!!  Hair done under 2 hours... This style should last a week.
