Wash day | 3 weeks post

Hi guys!! Long time no post.
So I'm now 3 weeks post and before I go into my washday details,  I'd like to ramble a bit om what's been happening to my hair for the past three weeks.
1) I HATE FLAT-IRONED HAIR!!! If you read my relaxer day post,  you'd know I flat-ironed my hair to do a length check.  Well, I really hated it. My hair was so limp n flat I was actually beginning to miss my many weeks post hair with lots of new growth. God really hears the cry of our hearts coz a few days afterwards, I got caught in heavy downpour on my way home and was drenched. First thing I did when I got home was look at the mirror. How happy I was to see my texlaxed kinks return!! Then I took the picture below

2) It's official: I suck at styling my own hair. There were days when I just stared at my hair in the mirror thinking "what do I do with you today" The fact that I have loads of hair pics on my phone didn't help at all. What do I do? Please help a sister out!!! However, here's a few styles I tried

Braid out

Frizzy Bantu knots

Flexi-rods

3) Despite my styling issues,  my hair has been on its best behaviour. Seriously, this is the best I've seen my hair since I began my hhj. My problem since I  began my hhj has been keeping my hair moisturised for a period of time. Then I went to visit my sister, who is natural, and when I touched her kinks, I was amazed at how soft it was. I asked her what she uses to moisturise and she said she just spritz some water and then seal with Shea butter. So I started sealing with Shea butter and Oh lala!! My hair stays moisturised for up to 2 days now and is uber soft. Sorry Coconut oil.
4) My product stash has been going through what I call the "Great Purge" Well, I noticed my hair seems to thrive better when I use just a few products at a time. Details about all that will be in its own post.
Now onto my washday proper,
- Detangled my hair in four sections with an oil mix of Coconut oil,  Olive oil and Amla oil. Prepooed for 1 hr.
- Clarified with Pantene voluminising shampoo.
- Tea rinsed with Green Tea and Mint.
- Dced with ORS Replenishing conditioner, Profectiv Mega growth Detangling conditioner and a spoonful of castor oil with heat for 40 minutes.
- Rinsed off DC and T-shirt dried for 30 minutes.
- Applied leaveins- Double Sheen Argan oil conditioner and Organics Cholesterol and Tea-tree oil conditioner. Left my hair to air-dry till about 70% then blowdried on cold air using the tension method, then sealed with Shea butter.
Now, my hair is in two flat twists for the week. I think this is becoming my signature hairstyle (due to my styling rut).
Cheers, Fatee
