Wash Day: Wash and Go

This past Sunday/Monday was time for my weekly cleansing routine! This is the routine I have been following for about two months now.

First, I detangle my hair with a homemade oil mix. I let the mix penetrate for 30 mins and then wash and condition my hair with shampoo and conditioner. This time around I used SheaMoisture Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention Shampoo and Conditioner.

I then apply a deep conditioner overnight. This day I used the SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Treatment.

The next morning (Monday), I rinse out the deep conditioner and spray my hair down with cold aloe vera juice in a spray bottle.

I then seal the aloe vera juice in with an oil blend.

I rinse the layer of oil out of my hair and then proceed to styling.

This wash day I decided to do a wash and go. For this wash and go I applied SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Leave In Conditioner in sections and then applied Argan Oil Eco Styler Gel on top. When applying these products I make sure to have my curls looking exactly how I want them to look before they start drying. This means I have to rewet my hair while smoothing the products sometimes or else my curls wont be defined.

I sat under my dryer for about 30 mins on cool air and then stretched my roots with the cold shot on my blow dryer.

I am really loving my big curly kinky fro. It took some getting used to but I am madly in love with it now!

That was my #washdayexperience ! How did yours go?

Twist 'N' Curly Fro

I have been experimenting with different styles lately and this time around I wanted really big hair. I tried a twist n curl with 23 two strand twists and 23 purple perm rods. I really liked how it turned out and I will be doing this style again really soon. The products used for this style only included EcoStyler Argan Oil gel for hold (which I will substitute for a product with stronger hold next time...or just use more of the EcoStyler gel) and coconut oil to prevent frizz. Watch the video below to see how I achieved the look!

Go big or stay home!
