Wash Day Update - October 9, 2014

This wash update is all about putting back  moisturise in my hair , for the most part I have decided to change up my regimen a bit, so I will be doing my washes and deep conditioning twice a week, Mondays are dedicated to balancing out my protein treatments and Thursdays/Fridays are for driving back moisture into my hair.

So on this particular wash day

[1] Mix Joico Moisture Recovery Conditioner with 2 corks full of honey that I picked up from the supermarket,  1 cork full of Home health's Castor oil, and 1 cork full of  Now's grape seed oil and Jojoba oil, applied it to my entire head. I apply the  deep conditioner in four sections  using the Comprehensive Conditioner Method (CCC). I always apply the deep conditioner using this method. I do this because I want to ensure maximum deep conditioner coverage from root to my ends. So in essence you would apply the conditioner in a similar way relaxer application except that you apply the conditioner from the root of your hair to end. This downside of this is method is that you will end up using a lot more product but for me its worth it. By the way I picked up this awesome tip from that handy book ' The Science of Black Hair ' written by Audrey Davis -Sivasothy.

[2] Deep condition using my Yellowbird Blow dryer and bonnet attachment for 30 mins. The bonnet attachment is very uncomfortable to use and it keeps blowing off my head so I have to loosen the bonnet string and retie several times which is a bit annoying.

[3] Rinse out the deep condition and co wash my hair  with Tresemme's Moisture Rich Luxurious Moisture Conditioner with Vitamin E that I picked up at the grocery store. I wanted to get the  Tresemme Natural as my staple Co-wash conditioner [I used this conditioner  when I was in the UK and it was to die  for] but the grocery store did not carry it. I figured since this conditioner was specially formulated for dry and damaged hair and  contains Vitamin E then it would be good for my hair. It really did not disappoint, it has a thick consistency and had a fair amount of slip . I will do a product review on this very soon.

[4] T-shirt dried for about 30 mins then apply Scurl's No drip Moisturiser and sealed with a mixture of Jojoba and grape seed oil.

[5] Next, I bunned my hair.

My wash day was great, my hair felt really soft and moisturised.
