OUR FIRST WASHDAY & WEEK

Hello loves! This past sunday was our first wash day together! I shared with you guys the rules for our first wash day on Facebook! But here I wanted to share the products I used and all the juicy details! 

LIV HEALTHY HAIR GROWTH CHALLENGE

Following the instructions I shared with you guys! I started off with a Hot Oil Treatment! Check out my video and blog post all about it! I left it in for 15 min using my Hot head deep conditioning cap to allow it the oils to penetrate my scalp and strands! I followed up with cleansing my hair using my ACV Rinse.  (I have a video all about it ) Afterwards it was time for a protein treatment!

This is a great protein treatment. You only have to leave it on for 10 mins and it is super moisturizing! One of my favorite parts is the detangling properties ! This thing is so bomb ! I put a plastic baggy over my hair and let it sit for 10 min then rinsed and followed up with my Moisture treatment! I used my Giovanni Smooth as silk moisture conditioner! 

At this point my hair was feeling amazing! Once done I applied BJCO and blow dried my 4c kinks! Next step was to trim baby trim !

Following the #LIVHHGC Booklet I styled my hair using the LOC method then set it in a low maintenance protective style for the rest of the week. I used Soultanicals this week along with water and BJCO and my Homemade Shea butter to complete my LOC Method.

For this week's style I chose a low bun, easy to maintain for work and yet still very stylish. I set my hair in large twist after the LOC Method, took them out the next morning and styled it into my bun. SUPER EASY! 

TO MAINTAIN: I have been wrapping my hair at night and slicking down my edges with Aloe vera Gel ( YES YOU READ IT RIGHT) in the morning before I head out the door! I have been using my DIY Hair Growth oil on my scalp mid week to when it is time to re-moisturize or when my scalp feels dry.

PROTECTIVE STYLE

 I'll take my hair out on the weekend to let it breath for 2 days then repeat on Sunday for wash day! See you then!
