Wash day (Thursday)

10th May 2013 No Comments

My hair was screaming for a wash. I was free from work .. so I decided to wash my hair .. Well co-wash my hair. I haven’t co-washed my hair in a long time. I remember the days that I loved co-washing my hair .. I need to do it much more often.

[1] I deep condition my hair on dry hair. I used ORS replenishing conditioner (I finished the bottle). When I condition my hair I always use oils. For this DC I used: macadamia, grape seed, castor, peppermint and rosemary oil. I randomly picked this oil except for castor oil. Castor oil is one of my fav oil for DC. I used my hooded hair dryer (Braun Drying Hood Elegance HLH 20) for about 30 min and then DC another 30 minutes without heat.

Hair Bagging method

I love the hair bagging method .. Lately my hair has been dry as ****. I didn’t matter how I moisturized my hair .. nothing worked. So yesterday i tried the bagging method and I love it!!!. I moisturized my hair with ORS Moisturizing Hair Lotion and covered my hair with a shower cap. I left it long for some hours .. I was watching some reality shows .. I am a reality junkie *sadface*. I watched 3 show so you can say I left it on for 3 hours. My hair felt good and the important part was no breakage .. yes no breakage when I was combing my hair * happyface*. So this morning I had to test my hair again .. and yes no breakage .. I’m happy this method will definitely be my go 2 method when my hair is actin’ up.

Wash Routine

Wash day – Sunday 10 March

HOT OIL TREATMENT

I started with hot oil treatment. I have been looking for the best oil to use. Ugh there are so many options. So I decided to use my regular oils. What are my regular oils … well coconut, castor and olive oil. I used coconut oil for the length of my hair and my mixture of castor and olive oil (that I wanna finish) for my scalp. I warmed the oils up with hot boiled water and left it on my hair for 40 minutes. I love the way how my looks so shiny .. Let see what other benefits is has for my hair.

SHAMPOO
I used Tresseme Naturals Nourishing Moisture Shampoo. I’m in loveee with there conditioned but I never used the shampoo .. so it was about time. I was my hair in 2 sections. It make it easier for me to wash my hair. I like the shampoo but I’m not in love with it yet. I’m planning to use this shampoo for the whole month.

Hair Relaxer

Stretching my relaxer

1st March 2013 No Comments

Before my hair journey I was ADDICTED to the creamy crack (relaxer). So when I started my hair journey it was hard for me to stretch my relaxer .. but with some great tips I found my way. I’m now at the point that I stretch my hair to 24 weeks ..

Im proud of myself for stretching so long .. but I decided to stop stretching to 24 weeks. I see that I’m more focused on stretching so long then taking care of my hair *sad face*. This couple of weeks my hair has been breaking and shedding like crazy and I think it has to do with my stretching.

This weekend I can finally relax my hair .. I’m 24 weeks post. But after this no more long stretching. My new stretch regimen will be 12 – 20 weeks. It’s funny instead of building up I need to build down.

Hair Relaxer

Lye relaxer vs no-lye relaxer

1st March 2013 No Comments

For some time now I have been thinking about switching my relaxer. For years I have been using ORS no-lye relaxer and I love it .. don’t get me wrong .. but I have seen some ladies (my relaxed hair gurus on YouTube) using the lye relaxer. So I did a little research for myself to see what the differents are between a lye and no-lye.

Based on the information that I read about both relaxers I decided to switch relaxer. Why?? Well I texlax my hair now .. soo I don’t relax my hair bone straight and I like the fact that the lye relaxer is not harsh on the individual hair strands. I hope that the lye relaxer will work out for me
