Wash Day!

It's that time of the week, WASH DAY! I do follow the curly girl method but it's that time of the month where it's time for shampoo. I have a regime that I follow through out the month and it often varies on how my hair is feeling. My head was quite itchy so it was time to break out good ole shampoo. I do pre-poo the night before with coconut oil to detangle and to get some added moisture. After the night of pre-pooing, I section off my hair in 4 parts. When adding in the shampoo I try to make sure I get my roots and scalp. Once I rinse the shampoo out it will then coat and cleanse my strands of hair. The next step is conditioner, I add it to my strands and let it sit for 3-5 minutes. Then I rinse out the conditioner and add in the deep conditioner, once the deep conditioner is on I usually let it sit for 30 mins to a hour with a plastic cap. Sometimes I leave it on longer, it just depends on what my hair needs at the time.

LOC TIME

After I rinse out my deep conditioner and I detangle some more, then I go straight into the L.O.C Method. L.O.C. is short for leave-in, oil, and cream. Once everything is placed on my hair, I put my hair into 4-6 twists and I'm finished! :)

Products:

Shea Moisture African Black Soap Shampoo: This shampoo helps when my scalp is extra itchy. If I don't pre-poo the night before then I does leave my hair feeling stripped. But if I do pre-poo then it leaves my feeling cleanse and moisturized. It smells like bananas, but it is made with plantains. I don't love it but it gets the job done!

Shea Moisture JBCO Conditioner: This is a fairly new conditioner I started using. I like it so far and it smells amazing.

Shea Moisture JBCO Deep Conditioner: I've been loving this deep conditioner and leaves my hair feeling so soft. My hair absolutely loves this and soaks it up. I can detangle my hair so well when it's in, it has amazing slip. It smells just like the conditioner.

Alikay Naturals Lemongrass Leave-In: THIS IS HOLY GRAIL STATUS! lol I've been using this leave-in for a month and I'm totally in love with it. I use it after I rinse out my deep conditioner as well as a refresher spray to give my hair life during the week. It gives my hair this unbelievable softness and I'm obsessed with it! It smells like Fruity Pebbles!

Oil: Any oil is good to seal in the moisture. I've been using avocado oil and I like it so far.

Alikay Naturals Shea Yogurt: This is the cream I've been using and it leaves my hair feeling so moisturized. It smells heavenly and it has a really creamy texture that emulsifies in your hands. A little does go along way. I section my hair off in 4-6 parts and distribute it evenly throughout my hair. It gives my twist shine and somewhat of a good hold. I do not use this as a styler, only for moisturizing purposes.

I don't style on wash day, my hair can't handle the excessive amount of manipulation. I usually let my hair sit in chunky twist for 2 days then I style.
