Wash day 5th May ‘14

Late night washing … yes is that time again. Last night, after work, I decided to wash my hair. Sunday I wasn’t feeling well and wasn’t fit to wash my hair. I live in the Netherlands, and Monday it’s time for Real Housewives of Atlanta. So before I could watch the last part of the show I started with my routine.

PRE-POO
I used my oil mix coconut x olive oil to apply on my hair. I warmed the oil with warm water. When I did the first part, I then applied my black castor x peppermint oil mix on my scalp. After applying the oil it was time for some ratchetness *big smile*.

WASH
After watching two reality shows it was time to rinse out the oils. It’s been a long time that I did a co-wash, so you know what time it is … co-wash !!!. TREsemmé Naturals Nourishing Moisture Conditioner is my fav product for a co-wash. In two sections I co-washed my hair. I really concentrated on my scalp and my problem areas.

DEEP CONDITION
Before applying the conditioner I used a t-shirt to dry my hair. In 4 sections I applied ORS HaiRepair Nourishing Conditioner. I almost forgot that I had this product. I used two packs because one simple isn’t enough. The oils that I mixed the product with; grape seed and peppermint oil. I deep condition with heat for 45 minutes and let my hair cool off for 15 minutes.

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 – Wash

[D] My wash routine is so simple and short. For this wash I used Nexxus Therappe Luxurious Moisturizing Shampoo. I can’t wait to finish this bottle, I don’t like it. It’s supposed to be a moisturizing shampoo, but I don’t agree. Because I don’t like this shampoo I only washed my hair once, normally I wash it twice.

Step 3 – Deep condition

[E] After the wash I cover my hair with a cotton t-shirt for about 20 minutes to soak up the water. I applied Nexxus Humectress Ultimate Moisturizing Conditioner on each section, covered my hair with a plastic bag and sat under the dryer for 45 minutes. What I love about this conditioner is that you don’t need a lot of product. I didn’t mix this conditioner with an oil. It’s the first time that I use the shampoo and conditioner together. Let’s see how that will work out.

Oke so after washing my hair I wasn’t happy. My hair was moist from the conditioner but my hair was still stiff from the freaking shampoo. I was extra gentle with my hair while rinsing out the conditioner.

Step 4 – Leave-in-conditioner

[F] I applied Garnier Fructis Repair leave-in all over my hair. Normally I will apply the leave-in in small sections, but I’m lazy. I concentrated on my ends, nape and edges. [G] After applying the leave-in I let my hair air-dry.

Step 5 – Moisturize & Seal

[H] In small sections I applied my moisture mix (ORS Hair Lotion x Rosewater). For sealing I used John Frieda Frizz Serum. My hair wasn’t 100% dry when moisturizing my hair. The rest of the air-drying was overnight.

Nexxus Therappe Luxurious Moisturizing Shampoo is not my friend !!!
