After protective styling my hair for four weeks, it was time for a prober wash routine. On Friday I took down my braids. I always make sure that my scalp can breathe, for I start the wash routine.
Step 1
It was time to clarify my hair. But for this step I used to shampoos, Mizani PuripHying Shampoo (Clarifing) and ORS HAIRepair Invigorating Shampoo (Moisturizing). This was my first time using the HaiRepair shampoo.
Since I started my hair journey I have tried different types of oils.
Here is a list of oils that I used.
For the last two weeks I have been wearing my wig as a protective style. I’m trying to leave my hair alone and protect it from the weather. So far I’m holding on. Before I started with the protective style I did a protein treatment, two weeks ago, to strengthen my hair. I planned to wear my wig for another 3 weeks – I hope I can manage, after a while I miss my hair – .
At this moment I’m 18 weeks post relaxer
Pre-poo treatment
For a while I wanted to do a pre-poo ‘oil’ treatment with my steamer. I applied vitamin E oil mixed with a little bit of Jojoba oil all over my hair and scalp. Normally I would use Castor or Coconut oil, but I wanted to try something different. I used the Huetiful Hair Steamer for the treatment. After the treatment the front of my hair felt soft, but the back felt a bit stiff – weird -, I need to play with using Vitamin E oil for a pre-poo treatment-.

HAIR PRODUCT EXPERIENCE
For some months I have been using Mizani products for my regimen, but I was ready to explore a new products – I’m really a product junkie, can’t stick to one product – I knew that ORS had added some new products to their brand, and of course I wanted to try them out.
When I came across a shampoo from the Olive Oil line ‘Olive Oil Sulfate-free Hydrating Shampoo’ I was immediately interested. Why? Well it’s a sulfate-free shampoo and it is hydrating. This product can help me with retaining moisture.
I have used the shampoo twice – March 19 & March 28 – now and let me tell you, ORS did there thing with this product. With both washes my hair was really dry. As soon I applied the product to my scalp and hair, it gave my hair a boost. For now I really don’t have nothing negative to say about this product.
I’m going use to use this shampoo for the coming two months, so that I can see what for benefits it will give my hair.
Are you familiar with this product? Then let me know what your experience is – the good and the bad –
It was highly time for a protein treatment. I’m doing a bad job with my monthly regimen. I noticed that my hair was breaking, and it’s really because my hair is screaming for protein.
