WASH || DAY || ROUTINE

Hi everyone!

I've been wanting to do this post for a while now and although the pictures are old I will definitely be updating you on any changes that will happen in the future. Have fun trying these products out and see if you like them...

STEP 1: WASHING 
I shampoo my hair once a week just to get rid of any build up. However, I personally only shampoo my scalp as shampooing the ends of my hair causes dryness. I either have two choices:

This is a 100% natural  handmade shampoo bar that I use. I bought this off of eBay. I have the Tea tree and neem oil one to help with my itchy scalp. Click here to see their products.

 

This is another natural shampoo that I use. It is free from artificial colours and fragrances so the fragrance it does have is natural and it smells refreshing. It doesn't contain any parabens or SLES (Sulphates) and the bottle is even made from recycled materials. Again I buy this brand on eBay. This is the Pineapple and Lime Shampoo for oily hair. My hair isn't oily however, I use this when I can feel a lot of build up on my scalp. Click here to see their products.

STEP 2: CONDITIONING 
After washing I will finger de-tangle my hair in the shower using a conditioner. The conditioner that I am loving is:

 

This is Tresemme Vibrant Naturals. It contains aloe vera and avocado oil to moisturise and help prevent frizz, it is also silicone free If my hair needs more moisture then I will deep condition my hair by applying this conditioner, wrapping my hair in a plastic bag and sleep with it in overnight and wash it out in the morning. I do this approximately twice a month. Click here to buy.

STEP 3: TIE HAIR UP
Once I get out of the shower I wrap my hair up in an old T-shirt, just to soak up any excess water.    

STEP 4: APPLY PRODUCTS

I take off the T shirt and I go straight in with my Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie. This stuff is so amazing and lasts a long time as the consistency is so thick you only need to use a little bit at a time (I would recommend about a 50 pence piece). This product contains coconut oil, silk proteins and neem oil all of which moisturise and enhance your curls. Be careful with how much you apply as it can make your hair greasy if applied heavily and this will end up weighing down your curls. This is another natural product which  has no parabens, synthetic fragrances or colours. Click here to buy.

    

Next I apply some KTC's 100% Pure Coconut Oil. This is just going to add and lock in the moisture that you already have in your hair. Again, I recommend you using about a 50 pence piece size, rub both hands together to activate the solid formula into an oil and apply all over the hair.

   

                             

STEP 5: DIFFUSE

Now I will diffuse my hair to speed up the drying process. I set my hair dryer to the lowest speed and medium heat with a diffuser attachment. This is going to make your curls fluffy and bouncy however, if you prefer to air dry you can do that instead. 

Diffusion Tips:
1. Tip your head upside down and diffuse for more volume and maximum shrinkage.

2. Rest the diffuser teeth against your hair (not using the cupping action) to retain length.

                        

STEP 6: SHAKE 

Finally I just flip my head upside down and run my finger through my scalp, giving it a shake. This just helps to fluff up the curls at the root to give beautiful Voluminous curls. (My 1st day hair is never very voluminous but as the week goes on my hair gets much more volume.)
