Protein Wash Day…

Midway during my stretch I like to do a strong protein treatment to strengthen my hair just before my new growth gets out of hand and the line of demarcation (where your new growth meets the relaxed hair). I like to do my strong protein treatment on squeaky clean hair so there's nothing stopping the treatment from penetrating.

[1]   Prepooed with Grapeseed oil mixed with a couple drops of peppermint oil on my scalp and

       on the length of my hair for 30mins under my heat cap.

[2]   Shampooed with (ORS Creamy Aloe Shampoo), followed by (Elasta QP Creme 
       Conditioning) Shampoo.

[3]   Applied (Aphogee Two Step Protein Treatment) on my hair and sat under my hooded 
       dryer for 15mins. My hair was rock solid and I didn't touch my hair to avoid breakage. As I 

       rinsed,  my hair felt stronger but alil stiff so I applied (Aphogee Balancing Moisturizer) 

       for 2 mins and rinsed. My hair felt normal again but not as soft and moisturized as I

       would like.

[4]   Followed up with (Aussie Moist Conditioner) for 45mins with heat. So far I love this  

       conditioner as a co-wash and leave in conditioner and was curious to see how it would 
       perform under heat. It did not penetrate my strands at all, so I’m sticking to what I know 
       it works best for my hair.

[5]   Wrapped my hair in a t-shirt for 40mins to absorb the excess water.

[6]   Applied (Herbal Essences Split-End Protector), Aussie Moist Conditioner and Hot Six Oil 

        to my hair and detangled really easy although I’m 8weeks post.

[7]   Let my hair air dry for 2 hours, then applied (Jamaican Black Castor Oil) on my scalp and 

       moisturized my hair with Elasta QP Olive Oil & Mango Butter and sealed with Hot 
       Six Oil.

  

8 weeks down 6 more weeks to go. So far my new growth has been super nice to me without any tangles or knots so far and I’m hoping this continues till relaxer day. Looks like I have ½ inch to ¾ inch in some areas as my crown area grows the fastest.

How many weeks post relaxer are you and how much new growth have you gained so far?
