Wash Day| Dry Crunchy Hair


I was not planning on washing my hair mid-week, my last touch up was on Saturday. The reason for this wash is because my hair is dry and crunchy; the reason for this is due to the mineral oil products I used all other my hair during my relaxer day to prevent relaxer overlapping.

Mineral containing products have an important role in my hair journey, during my relaxer days.

To remove the build-up that these products have left my hair with this is what I did.

[1] Sectioned hair in 2 to get ready for shampooing.

[2] Shampooed hair with HEHH Shampoo mixed with walnut oil and diluted (contains sulphate),

[3] Followed up with Elasta QP crème and conditioning shampoo diluted with walnut oil.

 [4] Let hair to drip for 2 mins and squeezed off excess water

[5] DC hair with Aunt Jackie’s Anti Poof Softening and Moisturising Conditioner, used heat cap for 7 mins

[6] Rinsed out conditioner and t-shirt dried hair for 20 mins.

[7] Sprayed Aussie Hair Miracle Insurance Leave in and coconut oil to each section and blow dried on cool.

[8] Bunned hair for the rest of the day, planning on M&S with ORS Carrot Oil and a serum. (L = leave in O = coconut C = Carrot oil O=serum method)

My hair was soft and the product build-up was gone.

This weekend’s wash day will focus on maintaining moisture.

How was your wash day?

  1. I hear of so many people sectioning their hair for shampooing!
    Really need to get on this.

    My last wash day was disappointing though I have to say, I tried a new DC mix and it was very 'meh'

    1. Hi Chantelle thanks for the support, am a fan of your blog!

      I always wash my hair in sections now, I find it makes detangling so much easier.

      I always get disappointment when I try something that I was so sure would be a hit and then the results are just blah!

    1. My hair was really calling for a clarifying shampoo. I was really heavy handed with the mineral product all over my relaxed hair.

      Thanks for hosting KLP!

  5. Do you relax your hair yourself? I'm trying to remember if my hair ever feels dry or crunchy after a relaxer. Maybe dry but not so much with crunchy.

    1. Hi Southern Girl. Yes I always relax my hair by myself. my relaxer methods have improved since in journey, don't think i could trust anyone without my guidance with my relaxer.

      My hair was crunchy because of the amount of mineral contains product I applied to my already relaxed hair, and I just need a clarifying shampoo, now its all back to normal. I was really heavy handed with the product, trying to maintain the thickness of my hair.
