ACV RINSE PREPOO

Image
By
Apple cider vinegar  is quite popular in the hair care world for its ability to help with restoring PH of the hair. The most common use is usually after washing, as a last step treatment in the form of a rinse. However, you can use it as a pre shampoo rinse too and that's what I did during this wash. 


To begin the wash, I diluted apple cider vinegar with water and drenched the hair with it. I used one cup of water and one teaspoon of the vinegar. 
I covered with a shower cap for close to 30 minutes. I needed my scalp to really get the detox. 

[1] To cleanse, I use groganics deep freeze shampoo and conditioner to detox the follicles and stimulate it too. 



[2]To hydrate the hair, I just applied The Ordinary multipeptide hair serum to the scalp and let the hair dry. 


As simple as the wash is, the next wash will be more involving as I have to deep condition. The Silicone Mix is an amazing deep conditioner; my hair loves it and it's a must have for me now. 



I'm currently a few days post relaxer hence washing is a breeze. The next relaxer is scheduled for 21st July, about 10 weeks stretch. After the next wash, I'll be visiting the salon for straw set again.
I don't intend to mess with my hair  the straw sets will prolong the wash intervals.

Washing Your Hair In Harmattan

By
With this year's harmattan being so severe, protective styling is definitely a must. Unfortunately, I can't wear any styles yet with this short hair do what can i do? Right from the wash day, my attention has been on preventing moisture loss. This means from the shampoo process to the sealing process, each step involves maximizing moisture. I probably shampoo once every 2 weeks but I water rinse very often. This keeps the moisture levels up as well as keeping the hair less dirty.  I do well to sprit z the hair each morning before anything is done. With the new growth so thick, getting the hair damp is very crucial for moisture retention. I love length but moisture retention during this time of year is the key to a healthy hair. Another form of moisture retention technique I employ is ensuring that the deep conditioners and conditioners I use are moisture based.
