Successful Wash Day

-

Hey Sistas, a wash day routine can definitely be a hassle but once you have mastered your wash day it is a breeze. Wash day is a great day to really give your natural hair the well needed love it deserves.  


First you will need to gather all of the products that you will need for your natural hair. It is easier to gather all your products at once so everything will be in reach.


 Next, let your hair out and comb it out your hair gently to detangle it before your began your wash day process. I prefer washing my hair in the sink but everyone has their own
preference. 


 Put your head under the water so that your hair is completely saturated. Get your shampoo, squeeze the shampoo in your hand and began your wash day process.  


Lather the shampoo thoroughly throughout your hair and wash until you feel it is clean. Washing your hair gets rid of all the dirt and product build-up.


After washing your hair and letting your hair deep condition for an hour; it is time to wash the deep conditioner out. You than apply the leave-in-conditioner. The leave-in-conditioner leaves your hair shiny, soft, and moisturized.


Finally, you are done with your wash day routine. As you can tell the hair is shiner and the curls are popping after a good wash day routine. Wash day can be time consuming so make sure you don’t have much planned for the day. After finishing washing your hair you can than style it in a twist out, bantu knots, braid out. I hope your next wash day is successful. Bye Sistas!

Nighttime Routine

Hey Sistas, I have a video showing you how I take care of my wig while my natural hair is braided under the wig. It is important to take care of your weave and your natural hair while wearing a wig. I have had this hair for two years but the first time I wore the hair as a sew in. I let a friend make a wig out of it and this is how I have been wearing my hair lately.   At night rime I detangle my hair and add OGX conditioner and water to it.   I mix OGX conditioner and water in a spray bottle and I wet my hair all the way through. After I wet my hair all the way through I comb through it once again to make sure it is all detangled. Next I twist my hair up and I take my wig off at night and place it on a styrofoam wig head to dry overnight. In the morning I wake up put my wig cap on and place my wig on top of the wig cap. I also oil my natural hair at night with Tea Tree Oil to insure my real hair is still getting moisture. This nighttime routine is super easy and it leaves my w

Hey Sistas, many girls in college are natural and love their natural hair, but it can definitely be a hassle. There are those day where you just really don’t know what to do with your hair. Many college girls choose to wear protective hairstyles such as; braids, weave, wigs and twist.   Between classes, homework, work, and extra-curricular activities protective hairstyles are easier to maintain. I sat down with Dana Mitchell to talk about her natural hair journey and protective hairstyles. Q: When did you become natural? A: I became natural around 2015. I was tired of my relaxed hair and it was not growing how I wanted it. Q: How has your natural hair journey been? A: My natural hair journey has been great!   I will say going natural was the best thing I could have done. My hair has grown way longer and it is thick and healthier. Q: Did you transition or did you do the big chop? A: I transitioned; I did not have the guts to cut my hair. I was scared I would look fun

Hey Sistas, a wash and go is my go to hair style. It is super simple in the summer; especially for me I just wash my hair and go. The name tells it all; basically you wash your hair and go on with your day. Although, a wash and go is simple for me it is a harder for others especially trying to find the right products. A lot of products are not needed for a wash and go but you still have to attempt to add in something that will give your natural hair some shine and moisture. Here are the steps to achieve a  successful wash and go.  1.       First Co-wash your hair with a conditioner ( OGX Biotin & Collagen). Washing helps get rid of all the product build up. Using conditioner to co-wash helps moisturize your hair. Shampoo strips your hair of its moisture that is why it is importation to co-wash with conditioner.  2.       While I’m co-washing my hair I part my hair into section and detangle my hair with a wide tooth comb. A wide tooth comb really separates the h
