Bunnin' It

Hii dumplings (: Most of my wash days been like the same since the start of summer. BUNS. BUNS. BUNS & BUNS. I've done mostly high buns, I just really can't stand the heat to let down my own hair. I'm still recovery from this set back I've been having and I did decide to cut some more of my hair. So I'm like a lil past shoulder length now, and honestly I'm OKAY. This setback made me learn a lot actually about my hair. I won't speak too much regarding that, cause I will be doing a hair update sometime in August about the whole experience. 

I'm 8 weeks post now, and the new growth is present

My previous wash day went like this:

1. Added oil mix (coconut oil, jbco, red pimento oil & rosemary oil) to scalp, and some coconut oil to my hair overnight without using a cap.

2. Shampooed with Straight from Eden Hydrating Shampoo

Wash Day: Wet Wrap

Hii guys, this was probably a really bad day for me to wash my hair. As you can tell from the titile, I did a wet wrap as my style but it wasn't what I planned at all. My hands and back were so tired from shopping, cause I had to go to the supermarket. And lil ole me thought I could manage the groceries by myself and walk home, but when I realize I couldn't it was too late to turn back and take a taxi. So I struggled home with the groceries and it was such a terrible walk, but never again!

Prepoo- I prepooed overnight with my Vo5  Moisture Milks Strawberry and Cream, along with my apple cider vinegar and oil mix (which comprises of African Pride Growth Oil and Tropic Isle Red Pimento Oil, and I added two drops of my rosemary essential oil).

Wash Day : 20 weeks post roller set

Hey guys, I'm currently about 20 weeks post and decided to wash my hair to prep for a relaxer soon. I was a bit nervous because this is my longest stretch EVER ! But it went better than I expected. So here's what I did.
(separated curls)

[1] Pre-poo: I did a deep condition pre-poo with ORS replenishing conditioner and a mixture of coconut oil, olive oil and JBCO. I let that sit for about 45 minutes.

[2] Shampoo: Using White Rain Volumizing shampoo as a clarifying shampoo I shampooed my hair 3x.

[3] Air dry: I air dried my hair for about 1 and a half hr.

Wash Day: Braid out

Heyy there guys, this wash day I decided to do something I haven't done in a while....and that's a braid out. I just decided to give the rollers a break this week and try something different. I also used some lime juice to lighten my hair a bit, but I only left it in for about 20 minutes because I didn't have the time to leave it in overnight. So I'm guessing that it didn't lighten my hair alot like it could've, but let's get into it (:

[1] Prepoo & Lime- I prepooed with Tresemme Remoisture Conditioner, apple cider vinegar, my oil mix (it has in African Pride Growth Oil and Tropic Isle Red Pimento Oil) and I applied it on my scalp. I also poured some of the African Pride Oil down

Senegalese Twist: The takedown

Hey girls, I decided to take down my twists. I had them in for about 5 weeks now. It took about 2 days to take down because I was lazy and took a lot of breaks. I was ultra gentle while doing this because my hair was in a fragile state and needed some lovin' lol. It felt dry but stretchy and over moisturized at the same time but anyways here's how I took care of my hair after.

[1] DETANGLE !!! girllllll I can not stress this enough, before even thinking about washing, detangle and

Senegalese Twist: Wash Day

Hey girlies, On Friday I decided to wash my Senegalese Twists. Before I was on a hair journey I never cared to wash my hair while I wore twists so this is a bit new to me and I had to learn but I must say it was a successful wash day. So here's the process

[1] I shampooed my hair with the CON detangling conditioning shampoo green label. I did not dilute it I simply put it in my hands then distributed it on my scalp. I did this because I mainly wanted to wash my scalp and the run off would lightly cleanse the twists. Though this shampoo is not stripping I wanted my hair to retain as much moisture as possible.

[1] Prepoo- I prepooed with heat for 30 mins heat with Tresemme Re-moisture Conditioner, Apple cider vinegar which I sprayed on my hair and parts of my scalp. And also my oil mix which comprises of Tropic Isle Strong Roots Red Pimento Oil and African Pride Olive Miracle Growth Oil. I did this Sunday night.
