So I washed my hair as scheduled but I got distracted on Sunday and sick yesterday so no post. Wash day went off without a hitch. I started my prepoo midday Saturday after running to the grocery store. I let the Strong Roots warm up a bit before I put it on my scalp. I put on my plastic cap and bonnet and then went about the rest of the day doing a bunch of nothing. I did have to say goodbye to old bottles of Moisturefuse and 2 Minute treatment from Aphogee but that was during the wash not before. I woke up earlier than I planned on it again on Sunday and stayed with the routine from last week
- Washed my hair with Macadamia Oil Shampoo followed by Moroccan Oil
Shampoo. Noticed that there was no massive lathering on the first wash
since I hadn't stripped it clean the day before with post pool wash.
- Did my three step conditioner each for about two minutes:
- Moroccan Oil
- Aphogee 2 Minute
- Mizani Moisturefuse
- Rinsed everything out and then t-shirt dried for about 10 minutes
- Deep conditioned with Dr. Miracle's deep conditioner for about an hour
- Rinsed it out and t-shirt dried for about two hours
- LOC'd my hair, 3 comb detangled (there was more hair loss this week but to be expected as I am getting closer to the two month mark post relaxer) & and then set it on flexi rods like last week--except this week I spent a bit more time trying to keep the parts straight and balancing out the flexi rods.
- Spraid on a moisture mist
- Added jojoba oil and an oil treatment from Tropic Isle
- Added As I Am and TW Deep conditioners like normal
- Covered it all up with a bonnet and have been chilling since about 1
I also went on a short Wal-mart trip earlier in the week that ended up with an unexpected perk. Everything in the photo below was a buck. I spent about 20 bucks and got lots of new product to try, two toothbrushes but I donated one to mom for her trip, and a ton of head scarves. It pays to be in a town without a huge Black population sometimes as I will see this happen every six months or so. They just finally had stuff I wanted to try for a change. And I will never be able to say I don't have a scarf. I may put a few together as a giveaway but haven't decided yet. And I did take photos for the reviews. I'll be putting those up in a day or two. How was your wash day?
I'll be waiting for your review on those scarves, I bought the bonnet of the same brand and threw it away after one use
ReplyDeleteI actually like these scarves. That's why I stocked up on them. I think I know the bonnet you mean and it fits weird around the edges. These scarves are a combo of the big triangles with better ties to me. They are great when you are wrapping your hair. You can make it as loose or tight as you want with the ties. When I am still in very straight hair mode I wrap my hair and use this to tie it down and then put a generic bonnet on top and go to sleep. Provided I did a tight wrap it looks great in the morning.
DeleteWhy do deals like that not exist in the UK?!
ReplyDeleteI don't think these would exist in a larger urban city here. Wal-mart is good for pushing out old stock especially if it's targeted to one group. I went to the hair care section for something unrelated and saw the scarves that were selling better full on the shelf and back the regular price of 3 bucks each.
DeleteOh snap! All that for $20! That's DEFINITELY a steal!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your #washdayexperience chica!

Very welcome and I felt bad as I was checking out because the checkout girl was like dang I need to check for the sale carts more. I did leave her some Hair Mayo but I think I jacked all the scarves.
DeleteI so love the title of your blog. You make it easy to talk about hair and food. Thanks for sharing your wash day experience with us.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I haven't been good on the food lately but I'm trying to work on that. I should review the marinades I've been using lately. Quick easy and works on lots of meat.
DeleteThat's a great bargain for all of those stuff. Looking forward in seeing your flexi-rods sets.
ReplyDeleteFantastic bargain, I'm amazed when I actually stop and look at things what kinds of deals I can find. Or just being nice when you ask a second or third question.
