Left-Right: Shampoo, Garlic in coconut oil mix and Rinse out conditioner

Hello Beauties!
Last Saturday was my wash day. I love, love, love my natural hair but I’m sorry to say that I wasn’t looking forward to this wash day. It had been a busy week and I just came back from a long road trip, you can agree with me why I felt this way. Well, it had to be done.

Here's how my wash day routine went:

Finger Detangle & Section: I finger detangled my hair as best as I could and sectioned in 4.


Hot Oil Treatment & Pre-poo: I did the hot oil treatment using my DIY garlic in coconut oil mix, then pre-pooed. This time I decided to do an overnight pre-poo and the result was indeed better. My hair was softer and more manageable.

So, my plastic cap doesn't fit my hair anymore (yippee! to hair growth) had to switch to a plastic bag.

Shampoo: Next I shampooed with the ORS creamy aloe shampoo, working my way through each section. Then I rinsed out.

Rinse Out Condition: This was done with gentelle hair fruits coconut conditioner, then I gently combed through each section and rinsed out.

Deep Condition: So the mixtress in me came out and I tried a DIY conditioner using coconut oil, avocado, honey, and banana. After that, I put on a plastic cap for an hour and rinsed out.

Drying Hair: I dried with an old cotton shirt. Gently patting hair to dry it.

Moisturise and Seal: I used the leave-in conditioner, oil, and cream (LOC) method. I applied the Dr. Miracle's leave-in conditioner, coconut oil, and Shea butter respectively so I can seal in moisture.

Styling hair: I did two strand twist using the beautiful textures curl definer mousse.

The next morning, I unraveled the twist and styled.

And this was how I rocked my hair the next day.
