This is a loooooooooong overdue post, as in it happened last week Monday, yip, the 8th of April. I wish I could give a valid reason for now posting it but I can’t so I’ll just jump right in.
Lova and I did our wash day together, using the same
products. This is basically what we did.
· Pre-pooed with a mixture of coconut oil and Pantene pro-v conditioner for about an hour (used up the last of the Pantene
conditioner).
· Shampooed with Creme
of Nature Detangling Conditioning Shampoo (green bottle, yellow cover).
· Deep conditioned
using Redken real control under the steamer for 20 minutes (used up the last of
the Redken real control also).
· We both played Dance Central for over three
hours before we finally rinsed out our hair, I might be old to some people under
twenty but I still got moves! :D
·
We both then wrapped our hair in cotton t-shirts
to absorb as much water as possible.
· After about 30 minutes I applied my leave-in and
serum, Matrix Biolage daily leave-in tonic and Macadamia Healing oil Treatment.
· I patiently detangled my hair and let it air dry.
· Once my hair was 90 - 95% dry I wrapped it in a bun.
· Meanwhile, lova awaited her trim turned hair
cut. I wanted to do it on dry hair with as little product as possible so I only
applied a little leave-in. She never had a trim or hair cut before so she was
worried, I tried to prepare her by letting her know weeks in advance what to
expect plus showing her videos of other ladies trimming their hair, I also let
her see me cut my hair when I did it. She had a lot of SSK (single strand knots)
so I have been meaning to give her a trim for some months now. I started her on
her journey because hair was not growing at all; it was stuck at one length. I
was initially going to just trim her hair, take off about half an inch but
ended up cutting about three inches because I felt that she needed it.
Basically I took off all her progress since starting her journey (it has only
been a few months for her) and felt horrible afterwards but her hair looks and
feels much better than it was. The best part, no more SSK!
·
After her hair cut I moisturized her hair and
put it in some box plaits.
My daughter was not completely happy with the length of
her hair after the hair cut but she is a wonderful sport and has come a long
way since being on her journey. I will explain all the wonders in another post.
Happy Hair Growing!

Happy Hair growing to you!
