Wash Day

I pre-pooed with hemp oil, I left it on for about an hour. I then shampooed with my Keracare Hydrating Shampoo (which I have now used up) and then put Roux Porosity Control Conditioner on my hair and let it sit for about 2 minutes.

I deep conditioned with Keracare Humecto mixed with EVOO. I put on a shower cap and left it on for about 2 hours before rinsing it out with cool water. I put a towel on my hair and left it for about 30 minutes so it could soak up the excess water. I then applied my Transitioning Creme for my leave-in and a bit of argan oil. I then sprayed some Mane & Tail detangler all over my hair then detangled my hair. I'm now 5 weeks post relaxer and my new growth is starting to come in which meant detangling took a little longer. I let my hair air dry.

When my hair was dry it felt very soft and moisturised. It hadn't felt that good in quite a while so I was happy. :)

My hair is about 50% dry in this picture

Laziness & Half Wigs

So, recently I've been very lazy when it comes to my hair. I haven't even shampooed my hair in two weeks which is just.. really bad. I haven't been m&s'ing every night, I think that I've maybe done it about twice in the past week? It just got to the point where I felt like I was doing so much trying to make my hair healthy so it could retain length but wasn't seeing much progress. I've been on my hair journey for over a year now and my hair hasn't actually grown that much. I guess because I was getting frustrated by my slow progress I just stopped doing things that I had been doing religiously for the past year. I'm going to try and get back on track on my wash day tomorrow, because obviously what I'm doing now isn't going to help my hair at all!

I've been thinking about getting a half wig. They are really good protective styles and I figured I would just rollerset the hair that I'm going to leave out, so I wont even have to use heat every week. And it will just be easier than trying to style my own hair. I can take it off every night and moisturise and seal so I will still be able to look after my hair properly!

I've been watching review videos and also just looking on different sites to see what type of half wig I would get, I'm currently undecided but I'm really excited about this and I will probably be getting one in the next few weeks!
