Wash day files: Diy hair masque and curls

Hello you!
  It's another wash day wednesday and so I get to share how wash day went over the weekend. It's coming so late, midnight here, but I didn't get a holiday like most people in Nigeria today- I'm on call.

Alright, about wash day.
I was not in the mood for the usual smells of wash day- not the strong orange of the ORS conditioner, not the strong smoky smell of the PKO, none of it.
Solution: homemade hair masque.
I used half a large avocado+honey+olive oil+sunflower oil.
**Yes there's a new oil in rotation :) I thought it about time I hopped on this ceramide bandwagon for a bit.

I blended everything together and then passed it through a strainer to remove any particles. I've had bits left over in my hair before, not a good look.


  The result was this smooth, creamy, tasty (I ate my hair's food) smoothie that I slathered my hair with. I put in four big twists and covered for an hour with a plastic cap.
  Rinsed with warm water. It rinsed out easily and quickly, no mess.
Cowashed with Beauty Formulas Apricot conditioner and finger detangled with the help of the cool running water and the slip from the conditioner.
Tshirt dried for like 15 minutes. It hadn't dried as much as I would have liked but I had to speed things up, it was really late at night.
Leave-in: shea butter mix to lock in the moisture from the wash and help with styling.
Flexirods: I used 13 and slept with my head uncovered to hasten drying.


    The next day was the Savvy and Chic garden party and that's where I dashed off to right after taking down the rods.

My new growth doesn't take to curls as easily as the relaxed parts do.
