Tomes Edition Hair “TREATS” ::Spotlight:: Dionne’s Wash Day...

Over the course of my life I have been blessed with a lot of supportive friends that have been cheering me on from the sidelines, since I started my Healthy Hair Journey. So I decided as a token of my appreciation, to give some of them hair “Treats” compliments Tomes Edition. Without further adieu let’s introduce the lady that knows me inside and out and our friendship is 18 years strong and today’s highlight Ms Dionne..

Dionne isn't on a hair journey and wants to start a Healthy Hair Journey but she’s just too darn lazy even though she has thick beautiful full shoulder length hair.  

::Let’s get to know Dionne alil bit more::

Dionne has been relaxed for 14 years and gets a relaxer 4 times a year. Straight off Dionne is practicing healthy hair habits by stretching her relaxer but she doesn't even know she is lol.  I had a look at the products she uses on her wash days which comprises of Elasta Soy OYL UltraHydration Shampoo and Deep Conditions with Elasta Dpr 11 Deep Penetrating Conditioner and moisturizes with Mizani Coconut Souffle Light Moisturizing Hairdress.  As you can see her products are protein heavy and I felt it on her strands which were rough. She also uses heat every wash day by blow drying and on relaxer day as well.

Over the course of my life I have been blessed with a lot of supportive friends that have been cheering me on from the sidelines, since I started my Healthy Hair Journey. So I decided as a token of my appreciation, to give some of them hair “Treats” compliments Tomes Edition. Without further adieu let’s introduce my lil sister (not blood related but I love her like one regardless) and today’s highlight Ms Ria..

Ria isn’t on a hair journey but wants to start a Healthy Hair Journey as the thought of having long beautiful healthy hair intrigues her.

1)      How long have you been relaxed?
         Ria: 15 years but I have gone back natural and texturized my hair during this time.

2)      How often do you relax your hair?
         Ria: Every 4-6 weeks.

3)      What hair products do you use & how do you use them on your wash days?
         Ria: Whatever the hairdresser uses. I hardly wash my own hair and when I have to I 

          just use whatever is at home

         Ria: I do, at least once a week.

Before starting Ria’s wash day I checked her hair to access it so I would know how to go about her wash day. She is 3 weeks post relaxer so her wash day should be easy breezy. Here are the steps I took for Ria’s Wash Day [I take similar steps]

Tomes Edition Hair “TREATS” ::Spotlight:: Karla's Wash Day...

Over the course of my life I have been blessed with a lot of supportive friends that have been cheering me on from the sidelines, since I started my Healthy Hair Journey. So I decided as a token of my appreciation, to give some of them hair Treat's” compliments Tomes Edition. Without further adieu let’s introduce one of my good friends and today’s highlight Ms Karla...

Karla is not on a hair journey but she wants to take better care of her hair ::Hair Stat:: she keeps her hairstyle in a short state.  

::Let’s get to know Karla alil bit more::

1)    How long have you been relaxed?

       Karla:  I probably got my first relaxer when I was around 6 or 7 so basically all 
       my life.

2)    How often do you relax your hair?

       Karla: With this shorter style I probably do a touch-up or a full relax every 4 weeks 
       or so.

3)    What hair products do you use & how do you use them on your wash days?

       Karla: I am a no fuss person and was fascinated by the whole process of a Tomes Edition
   ” wash day as my wash day is not so much as a day, but about an 1 or 2 tops! I 
       normally just shampoo with whatever shampoo I have on hand which has been Suave  
       Professionals Almond & Shea Butter moisturizing shampoo, after that, I do condition with either  Suave Professionals Conditioner for dry or frizzy hair or    
      Organic Root Stimulator Replenishing Conditioner. 

       If I am in the mood I might let the conditioner sit for an hour or so before washing 
       it out. After washing out the conditioner I usually use a towel to get off the excess 
       moisture, and then apply a mixture of the ORGANIC Root Stimulator Olive Oil  
       Moisturizing Hair Lotion, Soft and Beautiful Botanicals 3-N-1 Botanicals Oil before 
       I either blow dry or wrap and let air dry.

4)    Do you use heat? If yes how often?

       Karla: Yes! I normally curl all of my hair once a week with my J2 Flatiron and then 
       some mornings where necessary I might do a touch up to the areas where the curls 
       might have gone flat.

Before starting Karla’s Wash Day, I made an assessment of her hair to decide on what was necessary and what products were needed. She is getting a touch up the following weekend at 6 weeks post so here are the steps I took for Karla’s Wash Day [I take similar steps]
