Since I've been using grease to heavy-seal, I've started cleansing my hair more often and I'm actually kinda loving it! My last wash was on Thursday, so I thought it would be way too soon to shampoo again today; I haven't been bothering with sulfate-free shampoos as of late, so I'm always worrying about stripping my hair too much and normally try to limit cleansing to 1x/wk. But today's wash day has been excellent so far. Detangling was a quick breeze and for the first time in a while, I had little to no shedding or breakage, yaaaaas.
Even though I know our hair is supposed to shed daily, shedding still makes me
cringe, so even a mid-week co-wash is usually a must for me; anything to lessen the accumulation on Sunday.
With that said, over the next month I think I'm gonna try to start cleansing 2-3x/wk and maybe using a clarifying poo during one of those washes depending on how heavy handed I am with the product, and see how it goes. The only thing that concerns me about this plan is hygral fatigue, but hopefully staying on top of pre-pooing (skipped it today since I knew I'd be using a clarifier) will help prevent that.
Anyway, here's what I've done so far today. ♡
Clarifying Poo: Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo
Moisturizing Poo: ORS Creamy Aloe Shampoo
Detangler: VO5 Moisture Milks Conditioner
And I'm currently
D/Cing with the Joico Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm for 1.5hr w/ a plastic cap.
Post-rinse plan ~
R/O Condish: Aussie Mega Moist Conditioner
(L)iquid: S-Curl Activator
(C)ream: Mielle Organics Pomegranate & Honey Leave-In Conditioner
(O)il: EVOO + JBCO
Styling: Ecostyler Olive Oil Gel
Forgoing the grease today to try out the JBCO I picked up this weekend. I wanna see how it holds up on its own, but I might use both together in the future since my hair is so resistant to moisture retention when I use oil to seal by itself.
Hope everyone is having/had a great weekend! x
