HairJourney - Day 27

Hello, today is December 27th. I am 27 days in to my journey.

So, I've had basic braids in since November 28th. I've had them redone only once When I took them out the first time, I washed my hair with a moisturizing shampoo, then I deep conditioned and sat under the dyer for 10 minutes and then washed out. I did not blow dry my hair and basically let it air dry. It felt really good after the DC. I personally noticed a difference but I won't fully tell until I blow it dry.

So, tomorrow will make a month and that it when I will do a more detailed post but today I will be writing about all of the products that I have and will take a picture of them all tomorrow.

1. Shea's Moisture Cocnut & Hibiscus Curl Enhacning Smoothie - Marcie gave this to me because she doesn't use it. I've been using it on the back of my hair where some of my hair was coming through the braids. It makes the hair damp and then dries up. I'm not 100% sure how I am going to use this but we will see.
2. Shea's Moistures Coconut & Hibiscus Curling Gel Souffle - Marcie gave this to me as well. I am going to use this for my twists out/braids out in the future for sure.
3. Cantu Shea Butter Leave in Conditioning Repair Cream - I've read really good reviews about this product. I used it on my mom when flat ironing her hair because it also says you can use it as a heat protectant and it did really well with hers. I will probably be using this when I need to add heat, which will be rare, or as a weekly DC.
4. Herbal Essence Hello Hydration Conditioner - This will be for my cowash for sure! This product smells amazing and will add great moisture to my hair.
5. VO5 Strawberries & Cream moisturizing Conditioner - This will also be for my cowash as well so my hair docent because use to just one product but this will also be in my spritz bottle that I will also talk about.
6. ORS Olive Oil Replenishing Pak (2) - I bought the two packs rather than the big 7.00 bottle to see how much I like this product. This should become a staple in my hair product. This will be used for my DC.
7. LouAna Coconut Oil - 'nuff said.
8. ORS Hair Myonnaise - This will be my protein treatment that I will use once a month. After this I will follow up with a MC, either Herbal or VO5.
9. Creme or Nature Lemongrass and Rosemary Leave in Creme Conditioner - My mom had a small bottle of this and it smelled amazing so I had to get the full bottle. I will also use this as apart of my moisture/seal which I will discuss more of.

I bought a spritz bottle that I have finally decided what I want to add in it.
It will be Water, grapeseed oil (I will buy at GNC before heading back to school) and VO5 moisturizing conditioner. I will spray this as needed or daily.
MOS/MOL - Moisture. Oil. Seal/Leave In Method. I have not decided what exactly I will do for this. I am just thinking my spay, and coconut oil for now.

I have may more ideas and regimens I want to do but I need to be simple as I can at first, but along the way I will become more comfortable. So tomorrow, I will finally be starting this with taking my braids out. :)
