Flexi-Rods @ 12 Weeks Post

Today’s wash day is filled with loads of moisture and peppermint, such a great wash day with no issues *sigh of relief @ 12 weeks post*

[1]   Prepooed with coconut oil on my scalp and Aussie Moist Conditioner mixed with Extra

       Virgin Olive Oil and Coconut oil with a few drops of peppermint on the length of my hair 

       for 30mins under my heat cap.

[2]   Shampooed with Elasta QP Creme Conditioning Shampoo.

[3]   Poured my black tea rinse mixed with a hint of peppermint oil from my roots to my ends

       for 5 mins, then applied Aussie Moist Conditioner over that for 2 mins and rinsed. My hair

       felt sooooooooooooo good at this point, very soft and moisturized which made me 

       contemplate skipping my DC but I really wanted to try out this new Deep Conditioner and 

       old habits are hard to die.

[4]   Deep Conditioned with Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask for 45 mins

       under my heat cap.  This DC lives up to its words, my hair felt like butter and so 

       moisturized, really liking this so far.

[5]   Wrapped my hair in a t-shirt for 1hr to absorb the excess water.

[6]   Applied Aphogee Keratin & Green Tea Restructurizer , Aussie Moist Conditioner,    
       Herbal Essences Split End Protector (on my ends) and Hot Six Oil to my hair and 
       detangled carefully.

I sectioned my hair in 4 (2 at the front & at the back) and used my wide width comb first then a smaller comb to make sure there were no knots or tangles before rolling the hair.

I had my moisturizing spray bottle on hand for when my hair starts to get dry before I was ready to roll them.

[7]   I used end wrap papers to secure the ends of my hair as the rolled the hair up in a spiral 

       set.

[8]   It took me about 1hr to install the rods and I used use my trusted TRESemme Heat Tamer 
       spray before getting under the dryer for 30mins.  I can’t stand the heat so I just let the rest
       of my hair air-dry till it was fully dried.

To pull apart the curls I used Hot Six Oil in my palms.
