Setting Things Straight - Wash day 6/20 {12 weeks post}

I started off by finger-detangling with water (the products I've been using lately seem to be reactivated with water, leaving my hair super soft without any added products) and then deep-conditioning with a plastic cap for about 2 hours. I used a mix of deep conditioners (Shea Moisture's Deep Treatment Masque & Restorative Conditioner + Aussie 3 minute Moist & Organics Hair Mayo for a kick of protein ).

 

 

I then shampooed with Shea Moisture Moisture Retention Shampoo and finished off with a little more of the Restorative Conditioner (overkill or nah? lol).

 

I T-shirt dried for a good 20-30 minutes and then proceeded to roller set my hair. In my arsenal was NTM Silk touch leave-in and some lottabody.

 

 

 

 

After my whole head was set, I sprayed it with my heat protectant (a mix of Nioxin and Elasta QP). I sat under my trusty bonnet dryer for roughly an hour and a half.

 

 

 

When I was all dry, I applied some coconut oil and proceeded to flat-iron my roots, which were still a little kinky. These are the results:

 

 

 

I swear the Jamaican weather is not good to my straight hair. I was poofing up by nightfall. I straightened my hair in Florida using pretty much the same products and my hair was thee softest and silkiest it had ever been after a flat iron and it lasted waayyy longer.

 

The good thing is that I was able to revive my poofy hair and keep it straight up to now and I see it lasting a few days longer.

 

 

 

How'd your last wash day go down?
