Wash Day @ 16 Weeks Post…

I looked at my current stat on the left hand side of the screen and realized I was due for a relaxer on the 4 Jan 2014, which would have been the norm for me to relax at 16weeks post but I didn't do a protein treatment last weekend and truthfully my hair has been cooperating so I’m not in a hurry to relax.  I want to be a DIY girl for my relaxer so I’m trying to build up myself for the task. This is how this wash day went:

[1]   Applied warm Extra Virgin Coconut Oil on my scalp and massaged my scalp for 3 mins.

[2]   Prepooed 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 15mins under my heat cap.

Wash Day with Flexi-Rods…

Don’t you just love a hassle free wash day, well let’s dive into it.

[1]   Prepooed with Coconut oil mixed with a couple drops of peppermint oil on my scalp and
       did a scalp massage for 5 mins. Then added KeraPro Restorative Intensive Treatment 
       mixed with Extra Virgin Olive Oil on the length of my hair for 30mins under my heat cap.

[2]   Shampooed with a diluted mix of Aussie Moist Shampoo with some drops of
       peppermint oil and followed up with CON Moisture & Shine Shampoo. I can’t wait to 
       get rid of this Aussie shampoo, very disappointing.

[3]   Deep Conditioned with L'Oreal Total Repair 5 Damage-Erasing Balm for 35mins under my 
       heat cap.  First impressions: I was surprised how moisturized my hair felt after rinsing it 
       out because this conditioner didn’t sink into my strands, so far so good.

[4]   Wrapped my hair in a t-shirt for 30mins to absorb the excess water

[5]   Applied my leave in conditioner's of Aphogee Keratin & Green Tea Restructurizer, 
       Herbal Essences Split End Protector (ends only), Aussie Moist Conditioner and Coconut 
       Oil to my hair and detangled really easy although I’m 5weeks post.

[6]   Let my hair air dry, 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.

Since I was going out to dinner with one of my closest girlfriends I decided to have some curls and decided to do a pony tail with flexi-rods on the ends as well as 4 flexi-rods at the front of my hair. Since I had already moisturized and sealed I just sprayed my ends with water and rolled the hair unto the rods with end wrap papers on the ends. To see what I wore out to dinner click here.

I purchased this from Mall Mart, Swan Street, Bridgetown for $9.95BDS ($4.97US). I have heard great reviews about this product and since I use a lot of their product line I decided to give it a try.  As usual I like to use a new Deep Conditioner when I’m freshly relaxed as well as deep into my stretch about 12weeks post to see if the product lives up to its name, so my review will come at the end of my stretch.
