Cleansed with the SheaMoisture African Black Soap Deep Cleansing Shampoo mixed with some water and grapeseed oil in an applicator bottle. Best mix ever. Cleansing and moisturizing.
I did a green tea and apple cider vinegar rinse that I massaged into my scalp and let sit for about 10 minutes. I also applied a light protein conditioner to my ends.
To end the wash day I air-dried for two hours with a t-shirt wrapped around my head. Then I put some Eden BodyWorks Coconut Shea Leave-In Conditioner on and sat under my hooded dryer for an hour. To seal my hair I used grapeseed oil.
Loved the results. Soft hair with body and some shine.
What does a simple wash day for you look like?

I just love hassle free, successful wash days. Do you use a heat cap to trap in the heat at all if you don't use a steamer?
ReplyDeleteI usually use a heat cap, but sometimes I'm too lazy to pull it out so I don't use anything or I condition while I work out.
DeleteI just loove how thick your ends are, and gosh that conditioner really sank in, doesn't look like there was any conditioner at all :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Becca! That conditioner completely disappeared into your hair! That definitely means that you hair loves it!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I deep condition with my heat cap, but most of the time, I just cover with a plastic cap and warm knit hat then go on my merry way!
How are you styling your hair this week?
Thanks for sharing your #washdayexperience chica!

I can get so lazy with my deep conditioning that I don't even break out the plastic cap.
DeleteMy style this week was mostly buns with a couple of no fuss days of wearing my hair down.
Thanks for reading!
You hair is so thick and lovely! I have to deep condition with heat simply because I have coarse/low porosity hair and it needs the heat to penetrate! I'll be checking in for more posts! :)

Thanks Kenya!
DeleteYour wash day was a success! I've heard some great things about Eden Bodyworks and it is only my list of products to try. Which products would you recommend from that line?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your #washday experience :)!

Thanks for reading Jackie. Of the Eden BodyWorks products I've tried I like the jojoba deep conditioner, coconut shea cowash and the coconut shea leave-in conditioner. I tried the jojoba shampoo and didn't care for it.
DeleteLeah you have wonderful thickness! Looooooòve it! Did u do anything to your hair (like pop a few rollers in) b4 u sat under hooded dryer 4 1hr?
ReplyDeleteI am so inspired by this #washdayexperience link-up! Lots of fun
Thank you! Funny you should ask. I've been thinking about getting some rollers for roller sets since I don't have any. Don't know if I have the patience to put them all in though. I didn't do anything before sitting under the dryer other than apply my leave ins.
