Wash day | May 14!
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…

Relaxer | January 10!
With every stretch I tell myself that I won’t go further than 18 weeks post, but here I’m again at 24 weeks post relaxer. Don’t get me wrong there is nothing wrong with stretching for a long period of time – I have been doing that for the longest – but I wanted to try something different and see how my hair will react. With every stretch my focus has been with retaining my length. At times I’m still dealing the extreme breakage and split ends. Like sometimes I will talk to my hair and ask “Can I get a break?” and living in the Netherlands doesn’t help either –…

Wash day | January 1!
23 weeks post relaxer For the last past weeks I have been really active with protective styling my hair. It has helped me to keep my hair moisturized. Although I’m pleased with my protective styles I want to step my game up. [1] To clean my scalp and hair I used Mizani Moisturfusion Milk Bath Shampoo. Like always I shampooed my hair twice. After the wash I used a t-shirt to dry my hair.

Wash day | Oct 25!
It’s been a while that posted anything about my wash day. Because of the protective styling (wearing a wig) I have been skipping my wash days. That was NOT the plan, but how my schedule was, I couldn’t find the right time. So on Wednesday (October 21) I finally washed my hair. My scalp was screaming for it. On Saturday (October 17) I did a search and destroy method, but before I knew I was trimming my hair. I am at the point that I’m tired of the thin ends. Somebody asked me ‘why don’t you cut your hair? To be honest I’m asking myself the same question’. For some…

Wash day | May 25!
15 WEEKS POST RELAXER Last Monday was an easy wash routine. I kept is simple by only washing and deep condition my hair. I was a bit lazy for a pre poo treatment. Just like last week, using moisture based product was a must. [1] It’s been a while that I used Mizani Moisturfusion Milk Bath Shampoo. The texture of this shampoo is really like milk. During the wash my hair feels great.

Wash day | April 25!
My monthly regimen is a mess. As always I can’t remember when I use a clarifying shampoo for my wash. I knew it was that time again, but I didn’t want to clarify my hair – strange right– I was in battle with myself, because I really wanted to use a moisturized shampoo, but it was time to clarify. Step [1] The first step was washing my hair with ORS Olive Oil Creamy Aloe Shampoo for a light clarify treatment. Beside this shampoo I really don’t have a ‘legit’ clarifying shampoo – shopping soon 😉 – I washed my hair once with the product and then followed up with Mizani…
