Regimen Basics: Yet another wash day

  Wash day was a success :) wasn't as tiring as it usually is. In all it took about 4 hours,here's a rundown of what went down from start to finish:

#1-Finger detangled on moist hair w/ oils (castor/safflower mixed)

#2-Put hair in 6 braids,leaving space at the root

#3-Let sit for maybe 30mins under conditioning cap

#4-Washed scalp & braids w/ my homemade black soap shampoo,rinsed out w/ warm water

#5-Applied diluted conditioner to braids & roots (diluted w/ half really warm water & half conditioner) let sit under cap for about 20mins

#6-Rinsed out with COLD water

#7-Dried hair w/ a "turby twist" (microfiber towel or a tshirt works well too)

#8-Applying a leave in on damp hair (Yes to Cucumbers mixed w/ aloe vera juice,& my oil mix) then sealing my ends with my crisco mix & rebraiding. I ended up with 13 braids for stretching

#9-One last mist of aloe vera juice before putting on a scarf for bed. Aloe vera juice leans more on the acidic side,closing your cuticles & preventing frizz or "fuzzies".

 

  After these braids are removed, I most likely will bun it or something. I might also retire my small twists for a second untill I'm ready to commit to 4 weeks :-p
  This sounds like a ton of stuff right? Nah,it goes by fast since I've been doing this for so long. And there's a reason for every thing done.

Thoroughly finger detangled hair = Really stretched out hair :)

After removing my twists for a twistout I was ready for a new look! The plan was to detangle my hair,wash,condition & retwist...yea,I didn't get so far lol after about 8 hours of finger detangling split between 2 days I was left with a huge lions mane!!! Laziness got the best of me,& since I rarely get to see my hair this way I decided to rock that style for the rest of that day as a treat. :) although I do enjoy wearing my hair out on those rare occasions,I do feel a tad bit...scrutinized o_O call me paranoid,but hey.

See my twist routine & takedown here, & a tidbit of how I finger detangle here.

No products or tools (besides claw clips) were used to do this,not even a blowdryer. Sorry I don't have to many pics :( will do better next time...promise.
