So...After shampooing and towel drying...it's time for me to Deep Condition.
So I squeeze about 2 tablespoons of ORS Replenishing Conditioner in a Bowl
Then Add about 1 Table Spoon of Aloe Vera Gel (this helps make my new-growth softer)
Then add like a teaspoon of Hemp Oil
Mix..then apply to my hair in sections
Cover with either a Conditioning Cap and just let my body heat warm up my hair overnight
Or if I pre-poo overnight and deep condition the next day, I would apply a plastic cap on my hair for about 1 hour
Then for the last 10 minutes, I will get under my soft bonnet
Then I will Rinse the Deep Conditioner Out of My Hair
After rinsing out all of the Deep Conditioner, I apply Roux Porosity Control Throughout my hair and keep on for 3-4 minutes.
Rinse Out with COOL water....tie my hair back up with a turban then it's time for my last steps.
Stay Tuned...
Thank you for the regimen breakdown series.. I'm a newbie "diyer" so this is extremely helpful.
ReplyDeleteQuestion..Do you use the Roux Porosity after every wash? I've only been using it every now and then but wondering if it would be effective to use this more often. thank you.
@Maia- You're welcome. Glad to be of some help!
ReplyDeleteI use it after each wash because it helps close the cuticle.
But to be honest with you...a cold water rinse after rinsing out the Deep Conditioner can be just as effective.
I originally purchased this to use after my relaxer and because it is such a big bottle I decided to use this for each wash...so far, so good.
Would you mind sharing how you keep track of your regimen? I find that I'm having a hard time keeping track of what products I used, how I use them etc, in a clear and concise way that makes it easy for me to refer back to. For ex, I'm not sure when I last used a protein treatment etc. Do you use a notebook, a spreadsheet etc? thank you
ReplyDelete@Olivia- When I first started my hair journey,In MS Word, I typed up my regimen and products, printed it, then hung it up in a place I went to daily. Then each week, I would mark with the date, if I did that step.
ReplyDeleteI would also write with pen when I relaxed, installed/removed braids and anything relevant to my hair care.
For Example:
Week 1- 9/01, 9/14
Wash
Deep Condition With Protein
Leave-ins
Airdry
(list products)
Week 2=09/07, 9/21
Wash
Deep Condition with Moisture
Leave-ins
Air-dry
(List Products)
Put braids in 9.01.2011
Too Braids out 9.31.2011
Products:
blah blah blah
Now because everything is engraved in my head..and I have this blog..I don't do that anymore. The first year of my journey I also had very little products, which I suggest for all newbies.
Hope this helps!
You are the best. I'm going to try your suggestion. Thank you so much. I just love your blog :)
