I Hair You Cont'd

I revealed all my current hair styling products for both an everyday and occasional look. I shared my product reviews, natural hair tips and also featured my hair timeline from the big chop to now.

Sundays are my wash days! I love starting the week with a clean slate- getting rid of the build up from the week before and starting afresh.

Now, your wash days don’t necessarily have to be a full shampoo and conditioner. A professional hairdresser and colour specialist in Florida, Ivy Walls, taught me that our kinky hair does not need to be shampooed weekly but at most once or twice a month. It depends on how active you are and how much you sweat per day. This is because our hair type tends to be very dry so the shampoo is going to strip moisture from the strands. Therefore, what our hair really needs is a continuous conditioning treatment to rejuvenate our curls and prevent over dryness and breakage.

On a regular wash day I would just condition and comb out my hair. This is the only time I would apply a comb to my hair because it’s soaking wet and this way I can really get the conditioner between strands from the roots to the ends. So only comb your hair out when it’s wet and has conditioner to prevent breakage!

After washing the conditioner out, next, I apply deep conditioner through my hair, put on a shower cap and just leave it to work it’s magic. You could also use a steamer for about 15 mins and then wash out the deep conditioner.

Next, just apply some leave in conditioner and moisturizer if you want

AND THAT COMPLETES A WASH DAY!
