Instead of trying to cram everything in before the kiddos returned, I paused, took a breath, and turned wash day into a staycation/spa day. I just let myself relax regarding wash day, for once.
So far:
- I skipped prepooing: I was trying to save some time after that luxurious nap (I was dead tired).
- I sectioned my hair into 6 sections and at the bathroom sink cleansed my scalp and stands with Soultanicals Soulvedic Strands Poo Bar. I did beginning finger detangling (i.e. elongating, de-webbing, etc.) with this soap in.
- I oiled my ends with Soultanicals Power to the Prepoo Oil. (I had no idea this had ayurvedic ingredients, and it smells a little better to me know that the scent has faded some.)
- I rinsed everything out and showered, finishing with Jakeala's body scrub (in the scent Funnel Cake).
So as of now:
I dried my hair as much as I could and am currently deep conditioning with the Shea Moisture Manuka Honey mask. I am so curious about these Conair Wave Clips, but I don't even think I'l have enough time to air dry overnight, now, even if I were able to stay awake long enough to install all of the needed clips. Instead, I think I should:
5. Hydrate with aloe Vera juice.
6. Seal with Jakeala Shea Amla Parfait (full of ayurvedic goodies).
7. Install 4 flat twists in each of the front two quadrants of my hair, and install 4 regular twists in each of the back two quadrants of my hair.
8. Air dry and in the morning sit under the HairFlair to finish drying.
9. Take twists down with broccoli seed oil and do minimal separation, aiming for low(er) volume (if that's possible with my density.
). Use Conair Lift Me pic/comb (
video of comb is here) to blend roots.
