Wash day January 18 ‘14
For the past 4 weeks I have been wearing my u-part wig with a closure. Hahaha let me tell you .. I was so afraid for the closure. I bought the closure last year in March and I finally decided to use it. I will write a post about how I maintain my hair with a u-part wig. When I do this protective style I make sure that I was my hair every two weeks. So yesterday was time for a wash.

wash day 15 December ’13
Step 1 -Pre-Poo [A] every time I start with my wash routine, I make sure that my hair is detangled. I do my detangle method in four parts, it’s easier for me that way and less damaging to the hair. [B] Each part I apply my oil pre-poo mix first, then I put some oil on my scalp and massage it. To make the treatment complete, in small sections I apply the pre-poo mix. I made sure that I gave my problem areas (nape, edges and ends) some extra love. [C] I cover my hair with a plastic bag and sit under the dryer for 30 minutes. Step 2 –…

This are products that will make your cuticle lay flat. Then you have alkaline that…

Wash day 20th October ’13
[1] I started my wash day with a pre-poo. I really need to stick with my weekly pre poo treatment. For my scalp I used an oil mix (castor + peppermint oil). On my hair I applied Herbal Essence ‘Hello Hydration’. Before applying the conditioner, I sprayed my hair with water, just to make my hair a bit damp. I really like this conditioner for a pre-poo and co-wash treatment. I pre-pooed my hair for 30 minutes without heat. [2] I used Nexxus ‘Humectress Ultimate Moisturizing shampoo’. This is my 3rd time using this shampoo and to be honest I don’t find it moisturizing. It does make my hair soft, but…
