My Co-Wash Wash Day! :-)

Hey There Guys!

This is a really quick Wash Day Post/Check-In.
We are (well I am) interrupting the Hair Typing Series to bring you a realllly quick Wash day post!
Worry not, Part 3 is on its way very soon!
*wink, wink*
This past weekend, I was all set to do a proper co-wash (no shampoo because my hair was feeling a tad dry), followed by my Tea Rinse, Moisturizing Deep Conditioning, ACV Rinse, Air-Dry and Twist hair with a home-made flaxseed gel recipe that I've been wanting to try a la Naptural85 and my friend Shana...
Yeah, so that was the plan but then I realized, shoot I had work that weekend! So I'd just have to do a make shift wash session with the pockets of free time that I had...


STEP 1: I Hopped into the shower and Co-washed with my Mane and Tail Moisturizing Deep Conditioner. After a 5 minute scalp massage I rinsed it out.

STEP 2: I then re applied some more of the same Conditioner, hopped out of the shower (Ye lots of hopping because I was very mindful of the time, LOL, because that's what people do when they rush, they Hop! Jokes! okay seriously back to wash day...). I Put on a plastic cap and sat under the over head dryer for about 30 minutes.

STEP 3: I then rinsed out the conditioner with Cold Water and followed with an Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse. You noticed with all my hopping I forgot to do a Tea Rinse? *rolls eyes at myself*

STEP 4: Time to go to work! so I quickly rubbed some Shea Moisture Restorative Conditioner in my palms and applied it to the length of my hair (Yuppers! you read right, I used it as a leave-in conditioner - worked out quite well actually, maybe because I only used a little bit) & rubbed some of my grapeseed+castor oil mix on my scalp with my finger-tips, gathered my hair up into a pony tail and put on a headband to smooth out the front:

STEP 5: Now back home and hair on the outside is dry but hair within the ponytail itself was still quite damp. Had to dry it by finger detangling in front of a standing fan to speed up the process.

STEP 6: Sectioned the hair and applied Profectiv Mega Growth Daily Leave-In Strengthener to the length of each section followed by a bit of the Grapeseed+Castor Oil Mix.

STEP 7: I then detangled each section from ends to roots with my Denman Brush, very carefully. I had to slow down for this part because this is where I tend to get breakage especially when I rush. 

STEP 8: I put each section into plaits and done, was just too tired to attempt to make any Flaxseed Gel... that'll have to be next Wash Day.

STEP 9: I wore the plaits the following day complete with a headscarf in a bun, but they were different sizes and felt a little bit dry towards the roots...

STEP 10: Re-moisturize - i.e. That evening I took down each plait and I moisturized and sealed each section again and this time put twists in.

STEP 11: The twists were then gathered on 2 sides and the ends plaited and rolled on a Felixrod, Satin scarf and off to Bed!

STEP 12: "Ready like Freddy" to be styled in like literally 2 seconds for work the following morning!

This is and will be my hair style for the rest of the week until wash day this weekend coming.

I still moisturize and seal at nights, but on alternate nights, because it feels quite soft and moisturized right now thankfully.

Whew!
