I opted to replace my normal wash day with just deep conditioning (or co-washing). I really haven't decided what to call it because I'm not truly using a conditioner to cleanse my hair as most ladies do when co-washing. One thing I am sure of is that adding these days of doing nothing but deep conditioning my hair really seems to be helping it retain moisture in this winter weather. Could it be because I'm using less shampoo or because I'm using more conditioner? Not sure yet.
{1} I sectioned my hair into 4: down the middle in the front & ear to ear in the back. I've stopped parting my hair down the middle of my nape during wash days in an effort to continue its improvement.
{2} Applied Aubrey Organics Replenishing Island Naturals and grapeseed oil to my hair, covered with a plastic cap and scarf for a few hours.
{3} Rinsed with cool water, sprayed ACV mix, and rinsed with cold water after a few minutes.
{4} T-shirt dried for an hour.
{5} Applied leave-ins, Elasta QP H2 and Aphogee Green Tea & Keratin Restructurizer, and detangled my hair (still in sections).
{6} I re-wet my hair, added a little Eco-styler gel and flexi-rod set my hair using blue, orange, gray and a few purple rods. I ended up using about 35 once I was done.
{7} Let my hair air-dry overnight. When I went to remove one the next morning, it still felt a little damp at the root so I put on my bonnet dryer on low for about 15 minutes or so. I didn't want a repeat of the last time.
{8} Removed the rollers and separated my curls using some Organix Anti-Breakage Coconut Milk on my fingers.
Loved the results! So happy I decided to try to get better at these rollersets. I couldn't believe how much my results improved just with the second attempt. Also, this was my first time using the Aubrey Organics Island Naturals on its own and my first impressions of it are pretty swell. Aubrey has not let my hair down yet. My hair felt great, my curls were so bouncy and soft... it was a good hair day for me :)

DeleteGreat results! You have inspired me to try flexirods again. I totally get the wash day/cowash/deep conditioner wash day of yours, its so necessary with the drying winter.
ReplyDeleteAww! Yay for inspiration! Thanks Yvonne!!! It's been such a struggle for me in the past so you can totally do it, too.
DeleteI Love your results, i might have to buy a new set of flexi rods for myself:)
