The Awkward-Stage // Hair Regime // 2015 Notes
20:00
There are 10 more days until 2015 ends! Wow. I have worn my natural hair out for the longest period in my natural hair journey: 3 months!
My hair regime thus far is still a work in progress but here are the details.
I try to wash my hair on a Saturday and co-wash on a Tuesday. In between, I moisturise with my water-mix and whipped shea butter.
Wash-day
 |
| I like to work in 4 sections. |
 |
| I pre-poo to remove tangles from my twist-out. I find that pre-poos with coconut oil provide enough slip and after my shampoo, my hair is extra soft and shiny. |
 |
| This week I tried a sample of BabyBliss Sulfate and Paraben-free Argan Oil shampoo. Love it! |
 |
| I used the HydraSource Biolage Mask and mixed this with Avocado and Coconut Oils for a nourishing deep condition. |
 |
| Look at the kinks and coils :) |
Co-Wash Day
Co-Wash Day
To co-wash, I currently use the Organix Vitamin E conditioner. I also use this day to do any protein treatment, hot-oil treatment, or any other treatments that I want to do. Of course, I detangle my hair during this process too. I tend to leave my hair in twists throughout the week or until I'm ready to wear my Afro Puff :)
 |
| I prep my hair for twists with Carol's Daughter Alcohol-Free Gel, Castor Oil and my Shea-Butter mix. |
So far so good :) My hair is doing well despite this dry summer heat.
I can not wait for the rest of this journey. I am still learning new detangling and stretching techniques too.
Sometimes I want to put my hair in box braids and leave it in for 3 months, call it a day. But healthy hair needs work and I can not use protective hairstyling as an excuse to neglect my strands.
Have you modified your hair regime lately or do you plan to in the coming year?
Happy hairdays,
