Wash Day @ 12 Weeks Post Relaxer

By
--> This wash went down in the night because I was feeling too tired from the trips I made on that Thursday.
  1. I started with using ORS aloe shampoo to clarify. September has taught me never to go for two weeks without clarifying since I use a lot of products during the week. I shampooed twice.
  2. Followed with Creme Of Nature Detangling shampoo
  3. Divided the hair into two parts, applied VO5 to one half and Suave naturals to the other. I wanted a side by side comparison of these two conditioners. I left the hair for about 2 minutes and rinsed. Verdict? VO5 certainly had more slip as my hands easily glided through the new growth. Am going to use the Suave naturals anyway and anyhow - waste not.
  4. T-shirt dried for 1 minute to reduce water quantity to allow better penetration of the deep conditioner.
  5. Applied Kuza and left it on whilst I took a shower.
  6. Rinsed, T-shirt dried, added One Step leave in and almond oil and did the hooded dryer air dry method.
  7. Next morning, I rewet the hair with water, put in flexi rods, sat under dryer for about 1 hour. I couldn't take pictures because I had to rush out of the house.

How To Use Chebe Powder and Oil On Relaxed Hair

By

In case you have relaxed hair and wondering if you can use chebe powder the answer is a yes.




All you need is to be able to plait your hair or twist up. You can also use cornrows.
To prepare the chebe mixture, add a few tablespoon full to a creamy product. I usually recommend your moisturizer or butter for a good hold.

Shampoo and condition your hair well and apply the chebe mixture. Plait up the hair and leave it for at least 7 days before reapplying the chebe mixture.

When you are ready to wash out, which could be in a month or whenever you want, just shampoo the hair and condition as usual.

You can use the mixture again for another couple of weeks.

In case you need chebe powder or chebe oil, call or whatsapp 0541458372.
