So as usual, when I'm super busy, my wash day stretches over a 2-3 day span if I'm on call. I know I will not get a 4 hour span to pamper it the way I would want to because I am always weary my phone will ring and I'll have to drop what I'm doing and go.

So Wash Day Day 1:

Detangling was a breeze as my hair was protective styled in low bun-thingies for 10 days

After detangling, I slathered my hair with Aubrey Organics GPB Conditioner 

and followed it up with Vatika Oil (pictured below).

I then put my hair in a low bun, covered with a plastic cap and attempted to deep condition using just my body heat.

Sure enough I had to leave the house so I had to take off the cap but the bun looked decent (to me at least) and that was that until... the day after the following day!!! Ugh yup, busy and catching the flu put my wash day on stand-still

Monday am I finally was free, I went to the beach in the am

I then resumed my wash day in the afternoon:

I rinsed my  hair with warm water, then shampooed with Design Essentials Honey Creme Moisture Retention Shampoo (YAY!! I finally got some!),

I then conditioned with Tresseme' Flawless Culrs Curl Hydrating Conditioner (just bought this last week Thursday - for about $7 because I run out of conditioner like nobody's business and they had nil Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Conditioner)  and coated the hair with Sweet Almond Oil.

I left this for 1/2 hr then rinsed with warm water followed by cold water.

I then dried my hair with a cotton T-shirt for 15 mins

then allowed my hair to air dry with the scarf method, making sure to apply my usual loose air-drying leave-ins (pictured below - Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus Curl & Style Milk and Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum) and sealing with a bit of Grapeseed & Sweet Almond Oil (mixing things up a bit, hehehe)

.

*Hair still damp here, and there's a scarf at the front though not seen in this pic*

Right now, my hair is in a messy top bun, and I'm planning to keep away from the brush/comb for about a week,
and only use my fingers -
In an attempt to keep breakage to a minimum.

I take down the bun,
moisturize and seal the ends, scalp massage and do the baggying method for about an hour
each night.

Here's hoping for some awesome growth and length retention this year!

Oh! By the way! Big up to all Jamaicans at home and in Farrin' - we are all ECSTATIC that Obama is visiting Jamaica!
