Wash Day with Flexi-Rods...

*Have you checked out our latest feature of the mouse over yet? Well just place your mouse over EVOO or any other abbreviations below to get the meaning*

I hope everyone had a wonderful and Blessed Easter (sorry this post is alil bit late).  One of my good friends was hosting a dance show over the weekend and I was planning to go and show some support.  The show was very well attended and the performances were awesome, Barbados has great talent.  For my dress I was thinking of an artistic look (did not happen, just slapped on a jeans and nice top) and for my hair I wanted some form of curls and decided to do a Flexi-Rod set and I’m 8 weeks post relaxer.  To achieve the look I wanted, this is how my wash day went:

1)      Prepoo with EVCO & EVOO on my scalp and Herbal Essence Long Term Relationship 

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

2)      Shampoo with CON Argan Oil Moisture & Shine Shampoo [two lathers] 

3)      Apply Aphogee Keratin 2 Minute Reconstructor on my hair for 2 mins without heat. 

4)      When I took the mixture of my Queen Helene DC from the fridge I noticed it wasn’t 

         enough for my whole head.  I decided to try (CON Intensive Conditioning Treatment) 

         [first time using this as a Deep Conditioner], with a few drops of peppermint oil for 

         45 mins  under my heat cap. From 8 weeks post I increase the amount of time I DC     

         because my new growth is kicking up and I want to ensure that those coils are 

         properly conditioned. My hair felt silky and moisturized but I think I prefer this as a 

         pre-poo. 

5)      Wrapped my hair in a t-shirt for 10 mins to absorb the excess water 

6)      Applied Aphogee Keratin & Green Tea Restructurizer , Herbal Essences Split-End 

         Protector and Organix Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum  to my hair and detangled 

         carefully. 

7)      I parted my hair in 3 sections (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.

 8)     My hair wasn’t soaking wet but damp and I had my spray bottle filled with water on 

Easy Breezy Wash Day…

Prior to my Hair Journey. I hated my wash days but now I look forward to giving my hair some well deserved TLC.  Technically this weekend passed would have been my relaxer day prior to my Hair Journey and I can’t believe why I made soooo much fuss to relax my hair every 6-7 weeks because my new growth is so manageable although my coils are kicking up, Knowledge is Power. After my last wash day where my hair was saved by my DC I decided to approach this wash day differently and add more moisture from the beginning. I ALWAYS detangle my hair before I start my wash day, and I part my hair in four sections.  My entire wash day process is done in these four sections (2 at the front & 2 at the back)

Pre-poo with EVCO & EVOO mixed together in an applicator bottle on my scalp and (CON Intensive Conditioning Treatment) on the length of my hair for 35 mins under my heat cap. I love how this conditioner gives my hair so much slip. After rinsing, my hair was instantly moisturized, very silky, soft and tangle free.

Shampoo with (CON Argan Oil Moisture & Shine Shampoo) [two lathers] and rinse

Apply (Aphogee Keratin 2 Minute Reconstructor) on my hair for 5 mins without heat. As I stated in my last wash day after applying this product to my hair, it didn’t respond as it should, but this week was a complete turnaround. As I rinsed my hair it was immediately soft and silky as per usual

I used my (Queen Helene Cholestrol) mixed with EVOO, EVCO,JBCO, Jojoba Oil, 5 drops of Peppermint Oil, 5 drops of (Roux Correction Conditioner) [I usually mixed a big bowl to last 3-4 weeks and I store it in the fridge], for 45 mins under my heat cap. I have been using this Deep Conditioner since the start of my Hair Journey and my mixture is the bomb.com lol. My hair felt sooo good rinsing this out, it was soft, moisturized and I could feel my scalp tingling from the peppermint. So far so good, as my hair has been soft and moisturized from the beginning until now

I wrapped my hair in a t-shirt for 30 mins to absorb the excess water

Applied (Aphogee Keratin & Green Tea Restructurizer), (Herbal Essences Split-End Protector) and (Organix Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum) to my hair and detangling was as easy as 1,2,3...

Normally, I air dry with my hair parted down the middle and let it hang down but I decided to try the traditional scarf method as seen below for 30 mins

Please click image to enlarge

My edges were extremely flat and a sleek bun would have been perfect to do now. But I ended up with a headache and not sure if it was from the tightness of the scarf around my head or the fact I had not eaten yet for the day (it was 10 am). Perhaps I should try it on a full stomach next time.

This is where doing the scarf method was a waste of time because once my hair was dry I parted my hair back in four sections to oil my scalp with JBCO and moisturize with (Elasta QP Olive Oil & Mango Butter) and seal with (Hot Six Oil) The flatness disappeared but not completely.

I was feeling really lazy but wanted to try out some cute, yet fun protective styles. First I tried the Twisted Crown Updo from (Ebony's Tutorial @ Longing4Length) and it was a total fail. I just couldn’t get the last part sit flat as my hand felt awkward twisting the left side of my hair by my left ear and it didn’t look decent enough for work (I started at my left ear to end back there).  I ended up throwing my hair in a French braid/Inside Cornrow and although it wasn’t perfect, I thought it was good enough for work this week.
