LOL

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:

"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:

Hair Care Regimen for 2015 - Keepin' it Super Simple in Braids!

Hey There Guys!

Is it me or is the New Year always full of to do lists,

and lists of to-do lists,

finding out that some of your lists are a bit long.....

so you revise the lists again! Whew!

I don't think I'm alone in this....right? I hope not... Back me up here guys! LOL!

Anyhow, I have decided to try to keep my CORE Hair Care Regimen simple and easy to stick to!

My Ultimate Goals: LENGTH RETENTION + GROWTH

As you know from my previous post that I am currently protective styling with Plaits... oh so exciting, lol

*Pic taken this week*

Okay so no it's not (I'm a tad bit sad at the current 'thinner' state of my hair, and maybe a bit of "trimmers remorse" - if there's such a thing, ah well it needed to be done!)

BUT

it will reduce the amount of time that I have to spend on my hair on a regular basis 

AND

I can still give my hair the TLC it needs - it needs a lot, very demanding this one, LOL

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 :-)

Wash Day! :-)

Hey There Guys!

Yup yup its that time again, Wash Day Recap! This past weekend I did not do a Wash Day,
What I did do was a
Dry Deep Conditioning Session with my trusty

Profectiv Daily Strengthening leave-In Conditioner:

I took down my Twists,
Applied Conditioner to hair in 2 sections,
2 large twists made,
Plastic cap placed over hair and heat (overhead dryer) for 15mins
Sealed with a bit of Grapeseed Oil + Castor Oil mix (Focusing on the ends).
The hair felt soft and moisturized so
I just did Buns for the rest of the weekend until Tuesday:

Yesterday I started my (mid-week) Wash Day
