Deep conditioning before washing or co-washing hair

I have turned back to doing this- its much more convenient for me. For one, it is almost annoying to hop in the shower twice. When I apply my deep conditioner, I use my pink spritz water bottle to wet my hair over my bathroom sink so I only have to hop in the shower one time to rinse out my DC and co-wash or wash my hair. I used to do this before but I stopped doing it because back then I did not own a spritz water bottle and I use to DC my dry hair which would make me use more deep conditioner than necessary! But I finally figured it out today :)

I am currently 31 weeks post today and super excited! I have become obsessed with snapping pictures of my natural curls/waves. I can see a difference almost every time I wash my hair. I am truly in love with my natural hair, something that for so long I never thought would be possible. See, the impossible is ALWAYS possible. If anyone would have told me two years ago that I would be doing this I would tell them to their face that they are a bold face liar. I would have never imagined all of this but today I am truly thankful and blessed :)



a few shots of my hair today:
 

















This is my hair in its most possible natural state- No product is in my hair! I had finished detangling my hair and sectioning them off into to parts so that I can wet my hair and apply my DC!!

 
Here, I just wanted to compare my wet hair texture VS my dry hair texture. I absolutely love them both!
 
After hiding my natural hair for so many years, I had no clue all of this was under that relaxer! Loving it!
Waves, waves, waves, and more waves. Still wondering what month 10-15 have in store for me!!! I can almost taste it!! lol.

Eco Styler Gel Olive Oil Wash and Go!

Image
I am absolutely in love with this gel! Its gives great hold and allows for me to have preserved wash and go's for as long as I want before washing my hair! The smell is light and with the new technique that I am using when I do my wash and go's drying time has minimized! My curls hang a lot more with the new technique. Although I still experience shrinkage (which comes with the territory of being natural) I must say that I am very pleased with the dry ending results. Here is my day 3 hair WNG: I have yet to try the other Eco Styler gels but so far I am more than pleased with what the Eco Styler gel Olive Oil can do for my hair. I get a lot of questions as to whether or not it makes my hair crunchy, hard, flaky, or dry and my answer to all of these is no. It does give a good hold but not crunchy at all, I always get movement with my hair- its never stiff. I also want everyone to be aware that I apply my leave in conditioner and oi

My Perfect Wash and Go!

Image
I have finally perfected my wash and go's! I've had great wash and go days but I was constantly struggling with trying to eliminate frizz. Today as I browsed through YouTube I payed close attention to Mahogonaycurls technique and how she achieves her wash and go styles. One technique in particular was what caught my attention and had the little voice in my head say, "try it! I really believe this will work for your hair as well". I did not even finish watching the video when I found myself in the bathroom trying this new technique. The technique is simple, all I did was apply Eco styler gel on my dry hair (you can also do it on wet or damp hair, just wanted to minimize my shrinkage- why I chose to apply the gel on dry hair) and section it off in really small sections. Apply the gel and continue until fully done- my hair looks and feels very moisturized, which is exactly what I've been longing for with my wash and go's. I will continue to do this technique- m
