when you're starting each week you want to start fresh shampooing weekly is really good
for your hair because the products that have accumulated on your hair prevent moisture oils
and other nutrients from penetrating your hair properly i also use a shampoo brush to
really get in my scalp get it deeply deeply clean and make sure all of the residue from
any products i've used the week before is completely gone and my hair is basically
zeroed out it's neutral and it's ready to take on any moisture that i want to put back into my hair
to save on time i go straight into deep conditioning by using a deep conditioner
that provides an ample amount of slip because i also use this step to detangle my hair
thoroughly and distribute the deep conditioner evenly using the tangle teezer for this step
is really helpful because it ensures that the conditioner covers every single nook and cranny
of your curls using a detangling brush or like any of your favorite ones these ones definitely cut
down on detangling time if you have very long hair like myself i'm due for a trim or a haircut i know
if you have really long hair something like this is really really important because the
more hair you have the more time it's going to take to take care of it so anything that's going
to cut down on time and just make it a little bit more efficient for me that's exactly what
i'm looking for so i make sure that i do this on each side i detangle it thoroughly
and i twist it and then i pin it up or i clip it up to get ready for deep conditioning
lately i've been using a foil cap to deep condition because this allows the
deep conditioner to work faster by effectively trapping in the body's natural heat metal is an
excellent conductor of heat and this is why it works a lot faster
word of caution using this though if you're using a hooded dryer or a blow dryer do not
use this past 10 to 20 minutes because it helps the heat to work so fast it could actually end
up dehydrating your hair if you overdo it that is why i love to use this steamer deep conditioning
cap from amazon because it releases a very gentle heat that works perfect for the amount of time
that i need to use it if you are short on time though you can deep condition with the foil cap
in the shower without worrying about the amount of time but i still do recommend that you keep it at
max 30 minutes because it's just not necessary to keep it in longer than 30 minutes
after rinsing out the deep conditioner with ice cold water i like to apply my leave-in
conditioner while i am still in the shower this is going to give you ultra defined curls and what
steps it up a notch is if you actually wet plop so that means while you're in the shower go ahead
and take a plastic shower cap put your curls in the shower cap and then wrap it in a head towel
this is going to help it to penetrate and also it gives really juicy plump curls this is the best
method for really helping your hair to hold on to hydration and helping it to be super shiny by the
time your hair is completely dry
for any of you who still might be curious i still use flax seed gel to style my curls because
it pairs well with literally any store-bought product this is perfect for me because i tend
to switch up my leave-in conditioner every other week and flaxseed gel is absolutely
fire for maintaining hair health it encourages healthy hair growth it's lightweight leaves my
hair defined without being too weighed down or greasy another great benefit is that flax seeds
are rich in vitamin e and omega-3 fatty acids which can nourish dry damaged hair
i am flat twisting the front portion of my hair to create a pretty looking
headband for my wash and go it keeps wet hair out of my face
because i really hate feeling that feeling of just like wet hair being all over me i
don't know why i just hate it and it's a nice switch up from your basic wash and go style
similar to my original wash and go styling video i still style my hair the same exact
way using the finger rolling technique rather than finger coiling my hair which leaves it looking a
lot thinner than i like finger rolling will give your hair the illusion of more thickness i also
prefer to use this method for smaller sections of curls that i really want to pop and stand out
for larger sections i do the rake and shake method using my tangle teezer this method works really
great as well but it doesn't leave your curls as defined as finger rolling but it's really nice
the front of my hair i like to make sure that i finger roll it so that
it could be extra poppin' and nice and then towards the back i pretty much use
the rake and shake method for the rest of my hair
this is the diffuser i absolutely love it has like a honeycomb design on the front
it doesn't have any long prongs that can catch onto your hair is that what you call
it prongs i don't know those ones that are really deep you definitely don't want those
you want those that are a little bit flat on the top those ones work a lot better for
reducing frizz and it doesn't cling on to your hair i actually have a full diffusing
routine so i'm not going to go into detail but i diffuse for about 30 minutes and then i allow my
hair to air dry the rest of the way so that it doesn't wind up pulling moisture out of my hair
after my hair is fully dried i clap and squish the gel cast out of my hair using my favorite
jojoba oil by what is this leven rose it's cold pressed it's organic and it is effective i use
about three drops i rub it in my hands and then i just go ahead and squish my curls i do not
scrunch my curls up to my scalp all that does is it makes my curls fall apart
and it adds a lot of frizz i really don't like that method so i swing my hair around
and also swinging your curls around helps to separate the curls naturally and it creates great
movement in your hair as for my twists i like to get the ends of it and just tie it behind my hair
so that it looks like it really is a headband and then i release the back of my hair to just cover
the twists that are in the back to maintain it literally all i do is just pineapple my hair every
single night sometimes i'll put it in a loose bun on top of my head and i just sleep with a satin
pillowcase and a satin hair cap because you can never be too sure i feel like my satin
hair cap always slips off i don't know am i the only one it always slips off for me
