HAIR CARE ROUTINE - 2016
It's been a while since I've posted about my hair care routine. So here is what I’ve been doing to my hair since the last time
I talked about it:
Trim: when needed, which would be anything between 6 to 9 months.
Relaxer: between 10 to 16 weeks. I used to use the ORS Olive Oil Relaxer in normal, but I’ve switched back to Gentle Treatment relaxer in super.
Clarify: I clarify with ORS Olive Oil Creamy Aloe Shampoo:
o
Every four weeks
o
One week before and after a relaxer application
Protein Treatment:
o
Every four weeks with Garnier Fructis DamageEraser Strength Reconstructing Butter
o
One week before and after a relaxer application
with ORS Olive Oil Hair Masque
Wash: I wash my hair weekly and it involves the
following steps:
o
Hot oil treatment with my oil mix for 2 hours
o
Cleanse with Tresemme Naturals NourishingMoisture Shampoo
o
Deep condition with ORS Olive Oil Replenishing Conditioner
for an hour
o
Remove excess water with a t-shirt
o
Scalp massages with my oil mix
o
Moisturize with Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine
Intensely Smooth Leave-In Conditioning Cream and seal with either the Crème of Nature Argan Oil oil treatment or the OGX Nourishing Coconut Milk Anti-BreakageSerum.
I do scalp massages 2 – 3 times a week using my oil mix.
I moisturize and seal my hair 2 – 3 times a week whenever my hair is not in a low manipulation or protective style. I use Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Intensely Smooth Leave-In Conditioning Cream and the Creme of Nature Argan Oil oil treatment or the OGX Nourishing Coconut MilkAnti-Breakage Serum.
I’m planning on making the following changes soon:
- I will use the Wild Growth Hair Oil for my scalp massages instead of my oil mix, but will still use my oil mix for hot oil treatments.
- As you may already know, the Tresemme Naturals line has been discontinued. I am honestly undecided what shampoo I should buy next.
- I purchased a liquid leave-in conditioner, Aussie Hair Insurance leave-in conditioner. I don’t really need it in my current routine, but I would like to add something else to my hair after applying the Mane 'n Tail Detangler that will not weigh my hair down.
- The twin pack of the Gentle Treatment relaxer contains only 2 relaxers, 2 liquid activators, a pair of plastic gloves, a mixing stick and the instruction sheet. ORS Creamy Aloe shampoo is not color coded, so I bought the Isoplus Neutralizing shampoo to neutralize the relaxer out of my hair, just because I prefer to use a color-coded neutralizing shampoo.
v
- I will replace my current leave-in conditioning cream with the Garnier Whole Blends Coconut Oil and Cocoa Butter SmoothingLeave-in Conditioner.
- I will replace my current leave-in conditioning cream with the Garnier Whole Blends Coconut Oil and Cocoa Butter SmoothingLeave-in Conditioner.
I will talk about how the new added products are working for me in
future posts.
