Hey guys! I know I've been gone for a while, but I'm back now and I want to give a recap on my hair up until today. Let's begin!

Curly Braids

-I was getting bored with my braids, so I decided to jazz them up a bit by curling them.
-I rolled them up in flexi rods and dipped them in hot water for about 20 seconds.-After taking them out, I waited for my hair to cool before removing the rods and fluffing them out.


The Takedown


I took down my braids after 6 weeks of wearing them. To avoid tangles, I finger  detangled as I loosened which took a longer time, but it was totally worth it by the time I was done.

An Overnight Pre-Poo that made all the difference...

By the time I was done, it was too late to wash my hair. I originally intended for the conditioner to sit for 10 or 15 minutes, but I was too tired to do anything so I put a plastic bag over my head and went to sleep. The next morning I took it down and my hair felt fabulous! But the excitement was short lived because I didn't shampoo in sections! I mean, I had sections, but I ignored them while shampooing. But I wasn't discouraged, I did a protein treatment with Organics Hair Mayonnaise (medium strength), followed up with Vo5 Moisturising conditioner (more on this later) and after rinsing out the conditioner I allowed my hair to dry for a while, then I applied my leave-ins: MG leave in strengthener and Fantasia IC Serum. Using a wide tooth comb, I detangled my hair in sections.

Rods, rods and more rods


After detangling, I decided to set my hair in flexi rods. I used a total of 21 rods for this set and I did my usual updo pushing up the curls with a headband. The curls weren't completely dry so they started to drop after a while.


That's it! That's what I've been up to.

What have you done to your hair lately?
