The Wash Day Experience!

In honoring my recommitment to growing my hair, or shall I say having healthy hair, I decided to participate in JGA and SOS Wash Day Experience.

When I say recomitting, well I never stopped caring for it, but my once, very detailed, very strict regimen, kinda resolved to a bare minimum do what I feel like doing, when I feel like doing it thing. Which is cool because I am a working wife and mother of 4, yes I stay pretty busy and I don't have 5 or 6 hours to dedicate to my hair....barely have an hour, but I digress.

With all of that being said, I decided to take the time to focus on total hair health, moreso than length and just maintaincing.

So this past wash day was nothing special. I had had a sew in in, for the past month. Took that down, after one month because my scalp was itching like CRAZY!

So anywho....Here goes my wash day experience:


#TextureShot




1. Took braids down and finger detailed.
2. Cowashed

• with Organix Coconut Conditioner
• parting hair in 6 sections bc my new growth is super thick.
• Detangle with conditioner under running water.

3. Deep Conditioner mix:

• Dollop of Organix Coconut Conditioner
• 1 egg
• 1 jar of  baby food  : Banana
• 1 teaspoon of honey
• 1 TBS of Honey
• Let sit under plastic cap, with towel wrapped over head for 1 hour.

4. ACV Rinse

• 1 part ACV, 2 part water.
• Pour onto scalp, letting it run down the length of my hair.
• Let sit for 2 minutes.
• Rinse

5. Leave Ins

• Part hair in four sections.
• Lightly detangle
• Light Trim
• Apply Cantu Shea Butter Leave in conditioner onto each section, from tip to root.

6. Seal

• Castor Oil

7. Oil scalp

• Liquid Gold Sulfate Growth oil

8. Style:

•  Braidout
• Ehhh about 15 plaits/braids
• set on flexi rods

The plaits were still wet, so despite the serum, it still grew as I went outside and it began to air dry.
