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...

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 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

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

Rachie's Regimen Deconstructed: My Basic Hair Care Regimen :-)

Hey There Guys!

Here we are on Part 3 of the "Hair Typing Series".

In Part 1 - We broke down the different components of Hair Type

To re-read Part 1 CLICK HERE

In Part 2 - We then discussed how different aspects of a Basic Hair Care Regimen are important with regards to the different components of Hair Type

Now in Part 3, we will cover the following:

• Rachie's Hair Care Regimen Deconstructed - My BASIC Hair Care Regimen
• Rachie's Staple Products
• Does My Hair Type Determine How Long My Hair Will Grow? 

Rachie's Hair Care Regimen Deconstructed

It just so happens that I have every component of hair typing that makes one prone to easy tangling knots and breakage,

say it with me people, sigh!

Because of this I err on the side of caution MOST TIMES when it comes to my hair care regimen. It was very annoying at first, as in, like, can't I just go to bed normal & just wake up with fabulous hair? Can't it just moisturize itself sometimes?!

LOL!

Anyhow, I soon recognized that there was no short cut, and that these things were what my hair NEEDED, so I kept at "My Regimen/Plan", and eventually it became habit.

Can I tell you, typing up this Updated Regimen has really got me thinking about the things I've slacked off on here and there over the weeks,

and reminded me that I need to get back in the game!

I TRIED MY BEST to make it as CONCISE as Possible,
Forgive me if it still ended up being a bit long!
Anyhow, here we go...

:-)
