So here is my hair wet before starting my hair process.
I took my hair down Friday and but them in big, chunky ones to sleep in. I also exercised in them on Friday, packed in them on Saturday, and ran in them today --13 miles. That's why they look rough!
Today I'm doing my caramel treatment.

So I left the twists in because it's easier to apply in sections.
Typically I undo each one individually
Apply the mixture and then twist it back up.
I do this over all over my head and then put on a plastic cap for 1-2 hours. I ran out of plastic caps and had to improvise with a grocery bag. No, I did NOT take a picture of that!

| The hair is heavier and shinier. |
I then undid all the twists so that I could shampoo the mixture out well. I didn't want any residue left over.
 |
| I had to take the pic myself! |
I rinsed out the deep conditioner and then followed that with my herbal rinse.

| BEFORE |

| AFTER |
Once that is done I apply my leave in conditioner.

| Kimmaytube Leave in |
 |
| As you can see the pH is 4.5. Anything from 4.5-5.5 is perfect for the hair. |
Then I twisted my hair up using the Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque. I don't like it as a deep conditioner so I am going to try it as a styling agent. It says on the container that you can leave it in "for a frizz free moisturizing styling creme". So we'll see.
This is how my hair looks most of the week when I put my twists in. It's easy to do, maintain and stays neat.

| It's flat twisted in the front and pulled back with a clip. |
At the end of the week I take out my twists and do some sort of an updo. For example:
Week 10 Hair
- Shampoo
- Detangle with conditioner
- Deep condition
- Kimmaytube leave in
- Twists
I love all the pics, your hair is beautiful and growing, which is always a great sign of health. So tell me about the herbal rinse, what is in it and what is it for?
ReplyDeleteThanks Sprina! Trying to be more visual with the blog. I hope it's growing. I can't tell. I guess we'll see in August. That'll be my first 3 months. As for the herbal rinse look at the post: Hair Regimen Part 1. I use it for softness and strength of the hair. But look at the post it says why I use each herb. I ran out today so we'll see if it's been helping because I can't get more until we get to the States.
