Wash Day

After a long day volunteering at the Kadena Special Olympics (it was fun tho!) I prepoo'd as usual but since I was sooooo tired I left it in while I slept.  I ended up waking back up at 1 AM and decided to finish up.  I'm officially out of KeraCare :( hopefully my order comes in before my next wash day Saturday.  I washed with Elasta QP Creme Conditioning and did a light protein treatment with Aphogee 2-Min.  This time I rinsed my hair with luke warm water...and it made ALL the difference :)!!!! My hair wasn't hard or stiff after rinsing.  Also, I didn't see but maybe 3-5 strands of shedded hair while washing and rinsing lol usually I'm pulling it out my crack LMAO TMI I know!  This is major progress for me.  When I asked my momz what my natural hair texture was like she said it was thick.  Unfortunately I've never seen my hair thick.  Hopefully with the proper regimen I'll be able to see it for myself :).  

Hair After Pre-Poo, Wash & Protein: As you can see my hair is still thin on one side from my last relaxer :( #NOTdiscouraged

After M&S

Ok...so I don't think I like Roux Porosity Control in my DC.  My hair felt unusually hard a d very difficult to detangle in the morning.  I even think my shedding increased, still not shedding like it was before but way more than a couple days ago.  This morning when I woke up my hair didn't really feel dry, but it definitely didn't feel wet.  It was a weird feeling.  No more Roux Porosity Control in my DC, I'll stick to using it with after my relaxer.
