Wash Day + Night Routines for my cornrows
00:46:00
I started washing my hair consistently again and to officially kick off the moisturising challenge I decided to Co- Wash my hair. But before that, here's a recap of how I've been washing my hair:
Products Used:
- MG Deep Conditioner
- MG Stimulating Shampoo
- MG Daily leave- In Strengthener
- MG Detangling conditioner
- MG oil mixed with Castor oil
- D&L Scalp base soother
- D&L SOS Hairline
Wash 1: Deep condition
- I took down my cornrows the night before and applied the deep conditioner to my hair in small sections, wrapped it up with saran wrap and left it in overnight.
- The next day, my hair felt so soft and the tangles had practically melted away! I detangled and put my hair in braids to prepare for the shampoo process
- After rinsing out the deep conditioner, I diluted my shampoo with a little water to make it easier to come out of the applicator bottle and get to my scalp. I shampooed three times and rinsed thoroughly.
- I t-shirt dried for twenty minutes to soak up excess water, unraveled each braid to apply my leave ins: MG Leave in, and MG oil mix. Then I detangled again and put my hair in two buns to air dry in a stretched state.
- Then, of course, I proceeded to cornrow my hair, which you may have seen, I thought it would take like thirty minutes, instead, it took me 3 hours! I had no idea it was so difficult though, but I was too scared to go to a stylist (I haven't been to a salon since December), so I guess it was worth it.
Wash 2: Co-Wash
- Wet hair thoroughly in the shower
- Apply a generous amount of MG Detangling conditioner to cornrows
- Leave in for 2 - 5 minutes to ensure it penetrates the hair
- Rinse
- Repeat every 2- 3 days
For the moisturising challenge, I'm going to be
moisturising and sealing at night, and this is my nightly routine:
1. Spritz with water
2. Apply MG leave in strengthener
3. Apply D&L Scalp soother
4. Apply oil to scalp and ends
5. Apply D&L SOS hairline
I'm wearing this synthetic wig by Noble and I love it because it's light and great for my commute to work since it has this "messy" look, so I don't need to worry about my hair getting messy!
How was your Wash Day? What's your routine for the challenge?
