Wash Day- Roller Set

After spending four days vacationing in Cancun, I came home and felt that my hair was dry and brittle and needed a good deep condition. I washed my hair while in Cancun and let it air dry, but I did not deep condition.

Anyway, on June 28th,  I pre-poo’d overnight with Herbal Essence Hello Hydration, EVCO, sweet almond oil, a few drops of peppermint oil and jojoba oil. I sectioned my hair into four sections and applied by pre-poo which I covered with a shower cap and then my turbie twist towel before going to bed ( the pre-poo stayed on about 8 hrs). Then I had the boyfriend wash my hair with Suave Daily Clarifying Shampoo followed by Organix Coconut Milk Shampoo and Conditioner. I detangled my hair with my wide tooth comb and then I applied my leaves ins: Sprayed Aloe Vera Juice, (I am trying to cut back on my shedding), Sprayed Aphogee Green Tea and Keratin Reconstructurizer, and applied my version of the “KimmayTube” leave in (which is Kinky Curly Knot Today, Aloe Vera Juice, Sweet Almond Oil and Coconut Oil). Then I proceeded to roll my hair with the large size rollers and sat under my hooded dryer for about an hour and a half. Once my hair was dry, I took out my rollers and applied some Frizz Ease to my hair and then wrapped my hair for the night. In the morning, I took down my wrap and bunned my hair.

Holiday Hair

It is Christmas Eve and I am just getting over food poisoning- so I do not have as much energy as I am use to, but my hair was so dirty that I needed it to be washed, and the family is gathering in Jersey for Christmas- with that comes an annual Family Show Case which my three siblings and I are set to perform a short dance routine, so I know I wanted my hair to be decent enough for the performance- I also want to show off my hair length!!!

Step 1: Get this hair washed!
I use to have my boyfriend wash my hair weekly, but as a graduate student with finals, papers, and reading to do, I fell back to having my hair washed every two weeks. Today I used Suave Humectant Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner.

 Then I applied my ORS Hair Mayonnaise. I needed a heavy protein treatment as I had not had one in almost two months.

The Hair Mayo was left on my hair with a plastic shower cap for one hour

The Hair Mayo was then washed out of my hair and I then sprayed my hair with my Aphogee Keratin and Green Tea  Recontructurizer.

Then I added my homemade leave in conditioner (Kimmaytube's from Youtube's version with different products). And I allowed my hair to air dry for about two hours which is somewhere between 60-75%. I then applied my heat protectant, parted my hair into four sections and blow dried my hair.

After that, I used the same four sections of my hair and flat ironed my hair with my Chi flat iron. And  finally wrapped my hair up and used three rollers to add body to my hair, threw on my scarf and bonnet and went to sleep!.
