Wash day | November 14!
The cold weather is messing up my hair, like really. I told myself to do more protective styles, but I’m lacking. My hair felt really rough so I needed a good moisture treatment Step 1 | Pre Poo treatment It’s been a while that I did a pre poo treatment. A pre poo treatment always helps me to get back shine. I applied my Pre Poo oil mix (Jamaican Black Castor oil x Olive oil x 5 drops of Rosemary oil) to each section. I really concentrated on my ends, because it really needed the extra love. I let the oil sit for an hour without heat.

Only the new growth at my edges and nape are rough, but I don’t mind that. But I’m looking for a regimen to fix the texture at my nape and edges – it’s kind of my problem area- Shampoo treatment I haven’t done a pre poo treatment for a while now, and it’s just because of the laziness – I need to stop being so lazy-.
