Deep Conditioning in Braids - Listening to my hair!!!

Hey There Guys!

I just wanted to share a little something I noticed about my hair this weekend – Yes, I’m still learning, after all this time…

Turns out my hair Loves Deep Conditioning more often than I normally do it! At least of late it does – as in more than twice a week?!

Are you kidding?

#whohastimeforthat? Lol!

HOW I FOUND OUT: Okay, so on Saturday and Sunday I went diving, Yayness!

So I prepped my hair by putting it in braids with a twist for the last 1/3 of each section that I braided – I get less tangles this way...

"Wash Day" - Dry Deep Conditioning in Braids/Twists :-)

Hey There Guys!

So earlier this week, Monday, I decided to do a Dry Deep Conditioning Session, after which I decided that I didn't like that my braids no longer looked very neat, so I undid them and put them in twists,

This took me 4 hours!!! Crazy! My poor back and shoulders, le sigh LOL!

Okay so, Dry deep conditioning was pretty simple:

Weekend Wash Day in Braids!

Hey There Guys!

So on Friday night I decided to Wash and Deep Condition because I'm on call for the weekend and I wanted to get it out of the way before Saturday morning! I didn't want any surprises mid-treatments LOL.

 So all of you know by now that I'm currently "rockin" braids, and I plan to for the next few months, as part of the "REGAIN LENGTH AND THICKNESS" Campaign

:-D

I did everything with the braids intact - to cut down on manipulation and thus reduce chances of breakage...

Wash Day! :-) Back to Braids!

Hey There Guys!

Wash Day this last weekend wasn't bad, per say,

I managed to do a much needed protein treatment,

Yay! - that's the sound my hair made post wash, Lol!
But I aint gonna lie, I was TIRED through the whole thing.
But what you gonna do?
The hair needs what the hair needs! So you've just got to soldier on!

Wash Day after SCUBA! :-)

Hey There Guys!

:-)

We are here again for yet another Wash Day Check in! :-)
This weekend, Sunday to be exact, I went Scuba Diving!
Its been too long - almost 2 months!
Work has kept me really busy.

As usual it was great! I do have to prepare my hair Pre-Dive though, because essentially I'm soaking my hair in salt water for just under 2 hours for that day

MY USUAL PRE-DIVE HAIR PREP PLAN:

Wash Day? :-)

Hey There Guys!

My mid-week "Wash Day" wasn't a Wash Day really it quickly became a Dry Deep Conditioning Session.
As you know, I Deep Condition twice a week & often times one of these sessions is a "Dry Deep Conditioning Session"

I do these Sessions so that I can give my hair the moisture it needs even when I am uber busy.

I have been very very very busy of late, I feel like a broken record saying this, but its true!

My hair doesn't care about my plight though,
LOL,
Not at all!
She's just like:"Ye, dat nice, where's the moisture though? You Forgot?! Okay, Well allow me to fix your business Rach :-)" #breakage

LOL

So! back to Wash Day/Dry Deep Conditioning Quickie:

After The Last Wash Day I had put my hair in Plaits with a Scarf for work:

I grew tired of it after a single day so I did a Braid-Out which I eventually put into a Bun the Following Day:

 

Tuesday Night I was Not feeling that braid out much at all, and it felt a little on the dry side - AC at work is really drying some days,

So I opted for Dry Deep Conditioning:

• I wet my hands and ran them along my hair in 4 sections to VERY LIGHTLY Moisten the hair but not to the point where it was wet.
• I proceeded to Finger Detangle each section, then Detangled each section with a Denman Brush.
• Profectiv Mega Growth Daily Leave-In Strengthener was applied to each section and plaited
  
• Plastic cap, then under the dryer for 15 mins.
• Sealed with Sweet Almond Oil + Castor Oil, because I'm out of Grapeseed Oil! :-(
• Left cap off and allowed to Air dry
• I then separated each plait and then combed it out with a wide toothed comb:
  Very little hair came out, Yayness! :-)
• I then put on a head band and put my hair in a bun and went to work!
  
  
  
  
  

Yeppers so that's about it! Nothing big and exciting, I'll be doing a regular wash day with a moisturizing shampoo on Saturday or Sunday

I've joined the 30 Days Without Heat Challenge!

I'll let you guys know how that's going and what my plans are in a post coming soon :-)
