Wash Day Experience: Nothing Special

Happy Sunday

This post is a little late but here is a recap of Monday's wash day:

Pre-ShampooHair Trigger for 40 minutes

Co-Wash: Shea Moisture's Cleansing Cowash Conditioner

Deep Condition:  Tangles & Beyond Deep Moisture Conditioner for 30 minutes under a plastic cap. 

ACV Rinse: I sprayed the rinse in my hair and massaged it into my scalp for a couple of minutes.

Tea Rinse:  No tea rinse this wash day but I plan to do one this coming week.

Leave-ins: SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil,  SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie and Tangles & Beyond Deep Moisture Shea Butter Creme.

As usual I opted for my signature twists. This time however, I did a simple two strand twists. As much as I love my twists, I feel like I need to switch up my hairstyles. I plan to do that after my next wash day.

Wash Day Experience: It's way past time for a Trim


Happy July!!!

This is going to be a busy but hopefully fun month. I'm determined to get back in the swing of things, which hopefully means I will post more this month. 

Here is a recap of Monday's wash day:

Twist out style I rocked before wash day


Pre-ShampooHair Trigger for 45 minutes with light finger detangling before rinsing it out.

Co-Wash: Shea Moisture's Cleansing Cowash Conditioner

Protein Treatment: I decided to skip the protein treatment after last week's wash day. I'm actually going to lay off the protein treatments for another 2 weeks.

Deep Condition: SheaMoisture Raw Shea Butter Deep Treatment Masque + Tangles & Beyond Deep Moisture Conditioner for 30 minutes under a plastic cap. 

ACV Rinse: I sprayed the rinse in my hair and massaged it into my scalp for a couple of minutes.

Tea Rinse:  I used three bags of Earl Gray this week. I made sure the water was boiling before adding the tea bags. Then I continue to let the tea brew for another 10-15 minutes. Once the tea is cool, I add it to a spritz bottle and spray the rinse in my hair.

Leave-ins: SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil,  SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie and Tangles & Beyond Deep Moisture Shea Butter Creme.

Every since my last wash day, my hair has felt weird. My hair won't stay in twists, which suggests which what I already know...I need a trim bad. But my trim in September has made me a little apprehensive about making an appointment. Well, I finally broke down today and scheduled an appointment. Anyway, since my twists weren't working I set my hair in Bantu knots instead. Unfortunately, my Bantu knots did not come out the way I wanted them to. So, I made due with what I had and came up with the style below.



                          

I rocked this style for a day and the did semi-chunky twists and wore a bow from Vine80.
