Wash Day Files: Happy hair in twists

20:09 Naija girl next door 28 Comments

How's it going you guys?

The new My Regimen page is up now. I'll leave the link at the bottom. You'll click abi? Mmmwah. Please na.
       I didn't do much this wash day. My hair is just loving me back so it doesn't need much.
Before last week I had been dealing with insane amounts of shedding and breakage. The coffee rinse I did last week took care of shedding, while getting rid of my weak, bone straight ends tackled the breakage and just turned my hair around.

For this wash day, all I did was use the Shea Moisture Purification Masque + castor oil (as part of the Hairlista castor oil challenge) on hair and scalp for an hour under a shower cap; rinsed whilst gently rubbing my scalp, tshirt dried and applied my usual leave-ins: Shea Moisture Replenishing conditioner to damp hair and sealed with Olori Damage Be Gone Treatment. Finger detangled next. My scalp and hair were clean (no chemicals means nothing I use leaves deposits or residue in my hair), hair felt like butter.

 I was amazed at how little hair came out. It just shows how much the things I did last week worked.
Here's proof:
After detangling this week
I was losing this much weekly before my coffee rinse and trim. Insane.
I went back to twists this week. I even did flat twists on the sides instead of braids and I think I'm getting better at those *wiggle wiggle*


You can join the #WashDayExperience and see how other ladies pampered their locks. Like, it's a lot of hair love going on in the world.
Have a look at My Regimen, the page is up now.
   Take this :* :* :*
Xx,

    Beautiful twists! Twists are so versatile! I bit that yours would look great pulled up into a bun. Like a protective style for your protective style!

    Thanks for sharing your #washdayexperience chica!

    Heya..

    Been following your blog for some time now and I have to say even though I am rocking a low cut atm (fyi very very low haha), I am really impressed with your hair journey and how you say things.

    Keep up the good work. When I decide to start growing my hair again at least I have a reference point to work with. :*
