Wash Day Experience with Motions CPR -Wednesday October 22,2014

I did not do my usual protein deep conditioning treatment as I went to see my family for the long holiday - Heroes Holiday which included Monday October 20, 2014.

[1] So after returning to home the following night I decided to apply my deep conditioner over night. Since I was not following my regular schedule,  I decided to ramp up things a bit by using a protein deep conditioner with a bit more strength than my regular light protein treatment. I applied Motion's CPR using the CCC method, covered my hair with two plastic caps, followed by a stocking cap and secured with my satin scarf.

[2] The next day, I rinsed out the conditioner and co-washed with my Tresemme's Moisture Rich Luxurious Moisture Conditioner with Vitamin E . I think this conditioner is growing on me. By the way since I have notice that the change in temperature from the UK to Jamaica has been attributing to     the levels of dryness that I have been experiencing, my new game plan is to alternate my shampoo with co-washes on a weekly basis.

[3] Applied a mixture of moisturising deep conditioners using the CCC method. See my previous blog post for my deep conditioning concoction. The only deviation from the norm was that I used organic black Jamaican castor oil instead of the Home Health brand that I normally use. I purchased this from an elderly gentleman who makes it at his home in St. Elizabeth according to the phases of the moon. There are a lot of  elderly persons in Jamaica who are skilled at making castor oil some of whom are not pension beneficiaries so I opt to support them instead of purchasing from well established companies such as  Tropical Isle or EYL . I will be using my castor oil to oil my scalp every 2 - 3 days as well as to apply as a scalp treatment prior applying moisture deep conditioning.

[4] After rinsing out the conditioner I T-shirt dried for 20 mins applied leave in and sealed with grape seed oil.

[5] Styled with a wet bun as I had to run some errands.

This wash day was good, I have not noticed any major difference with adding the organically made castor oil compared to the Home Health brand to my conditioner. However as it relates to sealing the hair the Home health variety is much thicker and weighs down my hair when it is used as sealant. I have noticed a few extra shed hair on this wash day compared to the other ones. Perhaps this is an indication that I need to resurrect black tea rinsing as a integral component to my regimen.
