My hair has been in a bun constantly (sorry for the lack of pictures) and the time has finally come for me to wash my hair. Every night (or every other night depending on how my hair felt) I would moisturise and seal my hair by spraying (distilled) water, using cantu shea butter (to seal the water), the the ors olive oil moisturising lotion, followed by herbal essences beautiful ends and finally sealing with KTC coconut oil (more on why I used so many products in the post before this). Afterwards, i would remove my hair-band, twist and tuck under the ends of my hair and wrap it in a silk scarf.
1. The night before, I prepoo'd on dry hair with coconut oil and left it in over night.
2. I then de tangled my in sections the next morning and put them in loose twists (picture below):
3. I decided to use the Keracare Hydrating Detangling shampoo (so I could do a product review soon) and added 30ml of the shampoo to 30 ml of water creating a 1:1 ratio of shampoo to water. I created sections with the sections (lol) and added the mix directly to my scalp on dry hair.
I had planned to use the ORS Aloe Vera clarifying shampoo first but I forgot (woops)! Although this isn't too bad as I want to start stretch my clarifying shampoo from once a month to once ever 6 - 10 weeks.
4.In the shower I tried washing my hair in sections but this took too long so I ended up washing it altogether.I let the shampoo run through my hair (from my scalp) and then added the Herbal Essences Hello Hydration conditioner/co-wash to the ends of my hair (because I didn't want to strip the ends too much by adding shampoo directly).
5. After washing my hair, I towel dried it for 5 mins and added the Aphogee 2 Min Reconstructor, popped on a shower cap and left it for roughly 15 minutes (although the bottle said 2-5 I wanted to strengthen my hair in preparation for blowdrying & the braids I plan on getting tomorrow).
6. I washed then Aphogee 2 Min out and then added the ORS Replen Pak for about 50 mins.
The end result of the above was extremely soft hair! I also did the strand test in the shower whilst washing out the ORS replen pak (so on wet hair) and the result was stretched hair which bounced back.
7. I towel dried my hair for 5 mins and then added some cantu shea butter & that resulted in:
ignore the straggly ends, I was worried about this too but it must be the because of the difference in textures.
8. I then let my hair air dry out (as the cantu shea butter stopped it from dripping) for 4 hours and then proceeded to moisturise and seal my hair.
