My Routine…
Night:
I try to keep my hair tied up when I’m around the house, so I do this as soon as I know I’m home for the night. First I apply a dime size amount of leave-in (moisture or strengthener, according to what my hair needs.) to my hair, concentrating on my edges, nape, and ends. Then, I wrap my hair around making sure my ends are smooth and tie it with my satin scarf.
Morning:
When I wake up, I uncover my hair and apply a very small amount of leave-in. Then I wrap it back up and tie it up while I’m in the shower and getting ready. Before I leave for work, I take of my scarf, comb my hair down and I’m good 2 go.
Washing:
I wash my hair once a week. First, I pre-poo for 15-45min. with my “protein mix”, shampoo w/ crème of nature, apply a moisturizing conditioner, cover with a plastic baggie, and get under the dryer for 30 min. Then, I rinse out the conditioner with warm and then cold water at the end to seal the cuticles. Once done, I towel dry my hair and apply a small amount of heat serum to my damp hair (always concentrating on the nape, edges and ends). Then, to make combing easier I apply Motion’s foam wrap, detangle my hair with a large tooth comb, wrap it around my head and secure it with a wrap paper. I sit under the dryer for about 5 min, and tie it up with a satin scarf. I usually do this before bed so I can air-dry it over night to keep from using so much heat.
Styling:
Right now I don’t have any protective styles because my hair is in a short style and looks better just wearing it down. I flat iron my hair after every wash with my CHI nano. Before I start, I section my hair into 4-6 sections, sprits each section with heat protecting Spray, and apply a small amount of heat serum (mainly to the ends). After I’m done straightening, I apply my leave-in’s, wrap my hair around my head using clips, if needed. Then, I gently run a brush over my wrapped hair to make sure it is lying straight and smooth. Once it is TOTALLY smooth, I wrap plastic wrap around my hair tightly and get under the dryer for 10-15 min. When I comb out my hair, it is silky and shiny with lots of body.
Relaxers and Trims:
I faithfully get my relaxers at the salon every 6 weeks and I have a small trim with every relaxer. For me, stretching relaxers = shedding and breakage which will lead to damaged, see-thu ends and an even bigger chop at the salon. I love long hair, but to me if my hair is not healthy and full then what’s the point?
Goals:
1. A full healthy APL by March. 2008
2. BSL by Sep. 2008
