Wash Day Routine (15m Post BC)

So as my hair has gotten longer, my washday routine continues to evolve. I've been looking for tips on how to retain curl definition in my washngo and I think I've found a good method.

Tips:

- Part hair in sections

- Ensure hair is drenched in product

- Work in product when wet

- Detangle, Detangle, Detangle

Okay, so here it is:

1. Part dry hair in 4 and clip away

2. Start with any dry section, water it down and finger detangle

3. Work in shampoo/cowash then take a wide-tooth comb and detangle

4. Take a tangle teaser and smooth section till it is all clumped together

5. Rinse out section and apply conditioner & treatment for deep conditioning then clip it away in a Bantu knot style

6. Repeat steps 2-5 until all 4 parts done

7. Put a shower cap on and wrap head in a towel to trap heat in, then leave it for atleast 15mins

8. Rinse out hair in sections and keep in the 4 parts

9. Work in your product (ie. Leave-in, hair butter & styler) for each section and do not clip back

10. Style as desired

And that's it folks! Good for a week :)

2022 Outlook — Curls, Skincare and Wellness

I thought I'd create a post since reviving my blog (instead of the very old 2015 post I had chilling as my "featured post" lol. So here I am, creating a post to get the ball going and hopefully get some accountability going! For the last year I stuck to journaling and keeping most of my thoughts to myself (or with close family and friends), however I really wanted to take the leap of getting back into blogging and vlogging! I'm super excited and hope you'll rock with me. Here's the content lineup: Curly Hair (because of course, it's consumed my life for the last 7 years 🤫) Skincare (because a girl still has dry skin and acne, and I doubt that will go anywhere 😂) Wellness (because I've always been the "athletic girl" and overall health is SO IMPORTANT) If you're here for all of that, then stick around and stay posted for more :)

Shingling Method on Bangs

Instead of doing my normal wash and go routine, I decided to spice it up by doing a different part in the front and using the shingling method on my bangs. OH MY GOODNESS I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER LOOK BACK. Usually I'll try to finger coil (see my previous finger coiling method here ) random pieces through-out my whole head, most focusing on the front, but it make the curls shorter than the rest and you definitely notice the difference. With the shingling method, my curls were separated but more natural to my curl pattern. HOW DO YOU SHINGLE? Make sure your hair is soaked with water Saturate hair in leave-in conditioner and apply an oil/butter to seal in moisture Apply a gel for extra hold Take small pieces of your hair and smooth root to tip with your thumb and index finger & repeat until you've shingled to your desire (either just your bangs, frizzy parts of your hair, or whole head!) For extra shine and hold, use a diffuser to set curls, or sim...
