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!

Wash Day

I pre-pooed with hemp oil, leaving it on for about an hour. I then shampooed with Keracare Hydrating Detangling shampoo, making sure I really concentrated on my scalp as I had a bit of build up. I then put Roux Porosity Control Conditioner on my hair and let it sit for about 2 minutes. I always forget that I have this and accidentally leave this step out.

I deep conditioned with Keracare Humecto mixed with EVOO. I sat under my steamer for 30 minutes and then put on a shower cap for another hour. I then did an ACV rinse (only my second time doing this.) I put a capful of ACV in about 500ml of water. I'm still not really sure of the right ACV:water ratio but I think that this worked fine.

I put my Transitioning Creme in as my leave-in and then sprayed Mane N Tail detangler all over my hair and started to detangle. I L O V E this detangler! It has never been so easy to detangle my hair! It hardly took me any time at all and it was just so easy! I let my hair air dry. When my hair was fully dry it felt very moisturised and soft. Also, I got a lot less breakage during this wash day than I used to, progress!

Mini Product Haul

So I went to my (not so) local beauty supply store. There isn't a decent one anywhere near where I live so I waited until I visited family to go and buy some products.

My hair tangles A LOT, especially when I get to about 5 weeks post and I've wanted to buy a detangler for a while I just wasn't sure which one to get. I read a few good reviews on Mane N Tail's detangler so when I saw it in the shop I picked it up. Hopefully this will make detangling my new growth a lot easier.

I'm almost out of my Keracare Hydrating Detangling shampoo and have wanted to try Creme of Natures' Argan Oil shampoo for a while, so I thought I'd buy it and give it a try! I've seen a lot of positive reviews for this product and I can't wait to see how it will work for my hair.

I've wanted something for my edges for a while and it was between ORS Edge Control and Creme of Nature Perfect Edges, the store didn't have the Perfect Edges so I got the Edge Control. I know that a lot of people use this and love it, so I can't wait to try it!

The next thing I buy will be a conditioner but I probably wont get that until my Humecto is close to running out. I'm planning on getting the Curl Junkie Curl Rehab conditioner.

Wash Day

I pre-pooed with hemp oil and left it on my hair for about 2 hours. I then shampooed my hair with Keracare Detangling Shampoo.

I DC'd with Keracare Humecto mixed with EVOO, argan oil, jojoba oil and castor oil. I deep conditioned overnight (which I have only done once before.) I decided to DC overnight because my hair still felt very dry from the whole relaxer process and I plan on straightening my hair so I wanted to make sure my hair had lots of moisture.

I rinsed out the conditioner and then left a towel on my hair for an hour or so to get rid of the excess water. I then applied my leave in - Darcy's Botanical Transitioning Creme - and detangled my hair in sections. This was my first time detangling with my new seamless comb and the difference was amazing! I never realised before how much I could feel my old comb snagging my hair as I detangled. I let my hair air dry.
