This week’s highlight was strength = protein.
[1] Sectioned hair in 4 and prepooed with coconut oil, each
section was then braided.
[2] Put hair in heat cap for 30 minutes
[3] Diluted Herbal Essence Hello Hydration Shampoo with walnut oil
and water. Shampooed my hair once
[4] T-shirt dried hair for 15 mins and applied ORS Replenishing
Conditioner per section and detangled each section
[5] Put on a heat cap and left it overnight
[6] Rinsed out conditioner and t-shirt dried hair for 45 mins.
[7] Sprayed Aussie Hair Miracle Insurance Leave in and coconut oil
to each section and left it to air dry for a full day
[8] Next day hair was still damp (in braids) detangled, used the
tension method to dry hair, and M&S with ORS Carrot Oil and a serum.
[9] PS for this week is a bun using kanekalon braiding hair.
My hair is shedding like crazy! Detangling was a breeze, at 11
weeks post this is amazing. Next week Saturday is my planned relax day,
however, I don’t think time will permit, as my hair is still manageable, I will
hold it off for another week or 2 until I have enough time to tackle a monster
relaxer day.
Next week’s wash day focus will be black tea rinse to combat the
shedding.
How was your wash day?
Happy Hair Journey’s Ladies! :o)

" Put on a heat cap and left it overnight" Damn you are brave. What kind of heat cap do you use? No stress wash days are wonderful days
ReplyDeleteHaha! You know what I didn't even think too much of it till now. I had so many layers in my hair, so it wasn't really in contact with my head. it is the metallic shower caps that are suppose to trap body heat.
DeleteNothing happened the next morning, results of disturbed wash day!
I can't lie---I've fallen asleep under the heat cap too....several times. Ha-ha! Its just so warm and comfortable and I be tired....lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your #washdayexperience chica!

hahah, a wash day can really take it out on you some days!
DeleteI forget to do the T-shirt dry sometimes. Thanks for being part of this linkup.
ReplyDeleteEver since I tried t-shirt drying, I have never looked back! Thank you for co-hosting the link up!
DeleteMy wash day went good, glad yours did too. I haven't used ORS in a very long time. I don't remember if it acted as a protein or moisture on my hair. That's how long its been.
ReplyDeleteHehe! For my hair it acts as a balance of the 2, I forgot how much my hair loves this product!
DeleteDetangling a breeze at 11 weeks post feels like heaven, doesn't it? That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love the ORS Replenishing Conditioner. It's my favorite light protein conditioner to use-- and the smell is divine. I'm having problems with shedding this week, too. I thought my postpartum shedding would be over by now smh. If the aloe vera juice doesn't work, I'm gonna do like you and do a black tea rinse.
I have never used aloe vera on my hair journey yet, I really need to start as it has such amazing properties, I didn't know it could be used to minimize shedding, would rather use it than black tea really!
DeleteOn another note, have you disable commenting on your site? I can never comment.
Sleeping with a heat cap on is on another level of brave! Nice wash day.
