Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

HEY GIRL HEY!
I am a mom of a lively one-year-old and currently expecting another bundle of joy. I've been natural for over 15 years, and through all the phases of life, I've learned a lot about making wash days more efficient and effective. Whether you're a seasoned naturalista or just starting your journey, here are five common mistakes you might be making on wash days and how to fix them, especially if you're a busy mom like me.

    Washing and detangling my hair in sections is a game-changer. But I don’t use a stronger shampoo based on how dirty my hair is. I pretty much use a conditioning cleanser (co-wash) no matter how long it’s been since I last washed my hair. Every blue moon I will use a moisturizing shampoo, especially if I’ve gone swimming. The only time I use a clarifying shampoo is if I am going to flat iron my hair. I avoid drying out and stripping my hair as much as possible.

    Deep conditioning was a game changer for me. Since I have color treated hair, my hair has a tendency to be dry if I wait too long to wash it. I need to work on detangling once my hair is soaked with water. Otherwise I’m rushing it when I brush through with deep conditioner in it.

Braiders are faster and give cleaner parting but my job is to make sure my hair (and edges) survives the protective style. I grew up in the Caribbean so we had no choice but to wash our braids when we jumped in the sea. Lol!

We already had this foolishness with Innersense when people don't read the ingredients of what they put on their hair. But as I said you do you boo.
