So recently, I've done the complete opposite with my hair from Lo. :) Today.. I woke up, showered and co-washed with herbal essences totally twisted. I detangled using that and then got out of the shower. I washed all the conditioner out today because I needed for my hair to not be dripping wet due to the cool weather outside due to it being early in the morning. (any other time, I would leave some conditioner in it)
Once out the shower, I left the towel on my head for about 5 mins to soak up some of the water. My hair is always in 4 sections when I wash now. So I took each section and moisturized it with shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie and applyed my leave-in/sealant. This is a mixture of the curls line from Target leave-in, aloe vera gel, extra virgin olive oil, 3 drops of peppermint oil, 3 drops of cedarwood oil, and 3 of rosemary, and water. I spritz my hair lightly with water after the shea moisture and the leave in are applied so that the products can distribute evenly. I do not comb my hair after I exit the shower. My hair will not be combed again until the next morning in the shower.
After all of this takes place, I put my hair in a pony tail. My pony tail ends up being moisturized and very curly due to not separating the curls by combing after applying the finishing products.
This is my "its hot outside and I'm too lazy to twist my hair at night like I used to" routine. It seems like now because it is so warm out, my twist and braid outs are not defined resulting in puffy hair with no definition. This is why I have started doing wash and go's.
Before I forget. When I put my hair in a pony tail, I put aloe vera gel on the sides, then Eco styled gel on top. For some reason my hair doesn't get hard when I put the aloe vera on the. The Eco styled on top. And I don't have to use a lot of either.
My next post will be about pre pooing and deep conditioning.
