Wash day 25 January ’14

28.01.2014 No Comments

One week has gone by and I’m ready for my protective style again. I live in the Netherlands and the weather here SUCKS!!! So to protect my lovey hair I will be rocking my u-part wig with a closure.

Step 1
I started my routine with a pre-poo oil treatment. I used my oil mix (click on the link, to see what my pre-poo oil mix is). In small section I applied the oil on my scalp and hair. I make sure that I massage my scalp with the oil and concentrate on my ends. After that I used my hooded dryer for about 30 minutes. I love the way my hair feels after this treatment, it’s so shiny and my ends are alive again lool.

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 !!!

Step 1
I washed my hair in four section with Creme of Nature Argan Oil Moisture & Shine Shampoo. My hair felt really good after this wash. It was moisturize and shiny.

Step 2
It was time for a protein treatment. In October I bought Creme of Nature Nourishing & Strengthening conditioner. – When I use a product for the first time I use it in its natural form, that means I don’t use any oil. – I will do a review about it really soon. I deep conditioned my hair for a long time (2 hours+). – I was catching up with For Better or Worse episodes.- Even though this is a protein treatment, my hair didn’t felt hard at all. My hair was really moist and soft. I need to do more research about this product. But so far so good.

Step 3
I wrapped my hair with a t-shirt and let sit for about 20 minutes. In four section I moisturized my hair with Garnier Fructis Nutri Repair leave-in. Before I applied the leave-in I detangled my hair in four sections. I make sure my hair is about 50% dry. Detangling my hair when it’s still wet is a NO NO!!

Step 4
I moisturized my hair with my hair lotion mix (ORS Hair Moisturizing Lotion + rosewater) and sealed with ORS HaiRepair Vital Oils. I decided to do a braid out in for sections, lool I do everything in for sections.

What are your experiences with Creme of Nature Nourishing & Strengthening conditioner?

Quick wash routine 28 November ‘13

30.11.2013 No Comments

Last week Sunday I didn’t wash my hair, don’t ask me why (laziness ughh L). This week my hair was screaming for a wash but I couldn’t find the time to do it. Last night (Friday) LeHomie had

a FABULOUS DINER EVENT. I was so lost what to do with my hair, but the important thing what needed to be done is wash my hair.

I normally don’t do a full wash routine during the week, so I was really lost how to go about it. It was late, I was tired and had to go to work the next day. So I decided to do a quick wash around 23:00 PM (giving myself the side eye).

Step [1]
Before putting any product on my hair, I start with detangling my hair in four sections. After detangling my hair I began with a pre-poo aka hot oil treatment. I applied my oil mix (castor + olive oil) all over my hair and scalp. After that I cover my hair with a plastic bag and sit under the dryer for 30 minutes. After the treatment my hair is so shiny. I did notice a difference with my last pre-poo. This time my hair was a bit stiff. I need to keep an eye on that.

Review: Salerm Protein Shampoo

18.11.2013 1 Comment

In the month October I used the Salerm Protein shampoo twice for my wash routine. This product was on my wish list for 2013 and finally I’ve tried this product. The bottle comes in different sizes, I bought the smallest one (250 ml). With new products I always buy the smallest one, because you never know what the outcome is going to be.

Why this product: K E R A T I N .. yes this product contains keratin. Keratin strengthens all 3 layers of the hair and it’s the strongest protein.
