Before we get to that lets talk about my cowash. I use EVOO as a pre-poo for about 3 hours. I rinsed with warm water and applied my conditioner. I used Pantene Pro V for relaxed and natural hair. I need to get rid of it b4 I buy some V05 or Herbal Essence LTR conditioner. I let the conditioner sit in for about 10 mins then I rinsed with warm water. Next I added the black tea rinse.
For the black tea rinse I used some publix brand tea that had ginger in it. I boiled 8 bags in about 12 oz of water. I let it sit for about 30 mins. I did this all before I co-washed. My Love asked me what I was doing with the black tea. I told him and he told me now I'm taking my hair journey overboard. He'll realize the difference when there is no longer shed hair everywhere! When adding it toy hair I saturated my scalp using a homemade applicator bottle. My son has some brand new bottles laying around that he will NEVER use so I cut a hole in the top of the nipple and used it. I rinsed my hair with it 3 times and applied a plastic cap. I then rinsed one final time then added my deep conditioner (Queen Helen's Cholesterol). I remember reading a lot of reviews that said it made their hair dry and brittle. The conditioner is suppose to counteract this effect. We'll see though. Note: I'm typing this post as I'm going along.
I deep conditioned under the dryer for 30 mins. I then used LTR as my leave-in and detangled with the tangle tamer (LOVE this thing!!). I put on a little Argon oil and blow dried. Next I flat ironed my roots and curled my hair with my new Babyliss Curling Irons. Absolutely love these things. These are my 1st ceramic irons and I couldn't have asked for a better one. This is the finished product! Mind u I'm 13 weeks post relaxer!
My Love helped curl my hair. He thoroughly enjoyed it. He actually did a pretty good job for it being the first and probably only time using curling irons.
I think it's so cute that your love takes an interest in your HHJ, my bf acts like he doesn't then later he's asking all kinds of questions about a blog post. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI think he understands how important this is to me. It has been a while since I've been this passionate about something new. They always have to act like they're not that interested. IDK y!
