My wash day started with a
coconut oil pre-poo that I shampooed out with
GVP Tea Tree Shampoo. I did a
black tea rinse, then put
Roux Porosity Control on my hair to finger detangle in the shower because my shedding has increased since starting the castor oil challenge. And I wanted to remove as many of the shed hairs as I could before I proceeded to styling my hair. Once I was done I deep conditioned with
Nexxus Humectress, which has some protein in it but I still consider it a moisturizing deep conditioner. Plus I added castor oil to it, which just boosted its moisturizing capabilities. My leave-in this time was
CHI Silk Infusion and I used
Proclaim Wrap Foam to roller set my hair in the
traditional mohawk pattern.
After sitting under the dryer for 1 hour and 40 minutes my hair was dry. So I removed the rollers and proceeded to flat ironing my roots. I normally don't do this, but my new growth is a bit out of control even though I'm only 8 weeks post. When I finished straightening my roots most of my curls were gone, so I curled my ends with a curling iron. I wasn't sure how well my curls would last and I needed them to last for at least the next 5 hours. So after curling each section, I sprayed the curl with Sebastian Shaper Plus holding spray and wrapped the hair around a roller. After I was dressed and ready to head out, I removed the rollers, finger styled my hair and was ready to go.
