Mid Week Co wash

Hey ladies

As I stated in my last post I was going to co wash and redo my curls. But I am on a mission for a good curl refresher so I won't have to do this again. My hair did stay moisturized buy doing my sealing process. So thats a plus.

Now with the Shea Moisture Co wash it is brand new and I had it month or so before I moved. So now was a perfect time to test it out. I massaged it for about 3 minutes making sure it coated all my strands. Then let it sit for another 5 minutes before washing it out. Now it says its color safe but I did see the color bleeding a little when rinsing it out in warm water. But once I rinsed it out my hair did feel really soooft!!!!.

Now for the process of how I seal in moisture to my hair. I first detangled my hair with my shower comb. Then I applied my leave-in/detangler Aunt Jackie's Knot on My Watch and detangled a little more. Spritz my hair with my moisture mist.      S/C I went to moisturize my hair last night and found my whole bottle of Shea moisture mist had emptied out on my dresser.  I was extremely upset that I was snapping at everyone.  Thats my second bottle in 3 months. The first one I had to throw away at the airport and now this.

Left to Right-ORS Anti-itch Scalp oil w/ Simply Organics Jamaican Black Castor oil, Shea Moisture Co-Wash Conditioning Cleanser, Shea Moisture Hold & shine Moisture Mist, Motions Extra Firm Hold wrapping Lotion, Aunt Jackie's Knot on My Watch, & Komaza Care Shea Butter Hair Lotion

  Anyway I sealed that in with a mixture of jojoba oil and the sample of Komaza Hair Lotion that I have. Last I applied my Motions wrapping lotion and finished everything by letting my hair air dry. 

Off day Wash day

Today my oldest son is off for a Jewish holiday and my fiancé is off because this is the day that his job decided to give him. So yeah its a full house and everyone is calling my name. Lets do a run down so you can know the ages. My eldest is 5 will be 6 in December, my second son just turned one this year, and my baby girl will be 2 months of the 1st. So yes a full house with hubby.

Today is a regular wash day when I add my moisturizing deep conditioner which is my Elasta QP DPR-11+. It has a lot of good minerals, vitamins, and essential oils that give your hair the penetrating moisture that it needs. I going to try the whole line since my hair loves the DPR and the Soy OYL Ultra Hydration as my protein treatment. The DPR smells so good and light. I also don't have to us alot to get it to penetrate from tip to root. What I do is part my hair in three sections and start at the bottom and work my way to the top. Put a plastic cap over my hair and sit underneath the dryer from anywhere between 15-30 minutes. Once finish I let that cool down I rinse and then Co-wash with my suave professional. I pin up my hair and let it sit while I finish my shower, rinse with Lukewarm water then with cool. I then apply my leave-in using the L.O.C. Method, that I explained in my last post, which I am finding that it is really helpful with locking moisture in my hair whereas I don't have to keep applying moisturizer thru out the day. I can even go up to two days without putting any moisturizer to my hair which I absolutely love!!!! I then let my hair air dry for about an hour to a hour and a half, then I wrap my hair so I can get it trained to memorize this style and then put my scarf on. Once I feel like its almost completely dry I then apply my Jamaican black castor oil to my scalp, re-wrap and let it finish dry to the next morning.
Since I don't really have to many places to go unless its either appointments or other motherly duties I mainly keep my hair wrapped up to help retain more length.
The pic below is how my hair turns out when I'm done with the process. Shiny, soft, and very moisture.!
