Snowed In....

Hey Ya’ll!

We’re snowed in over here on the east coast and what could be a more perfect time for a deep conditioning treatment! Although I co-wash at least once a week, I only shampoo once a month and this weekend marked my shampoo day. I used Giovanni’s Smooth as Silk Shampoo (sulfate free). After rinsing, I then did a clarifying rinse with ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar (ACV) in about a quart of water. I ran the ACV rinse over my freshly washed hair followed by another quart of clear water.

I followed this with my deep conditioning treatment; I mixed Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle and Rose Conditioner, Giovanni’s Smooth as Silk Xtreme Protein Hair Infusion, coconut oil, olive oil, Suave Humectant, and a drop or two of Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO). I smoothed this mixture into my hair, ensuring I coated every strand by mashing it into each section of hair, and then covered with a plastic cap. After a little cleaning and playing a couple board games with the family, (about 2 hours) I finally rinsed the conditioner out.

To stretch my hair a little, I applied my mixture of shea butter, glycerin, coconut oil, and JBCO (yummy!) through my hair and braided it into eight braids. Because we’ve been snow bound, I’ve left the braids in all day. I’ll post a picture when I take them out tomorrow for work …that is if we’re able to get out on the roads!

So, I guess I’ll “see” ya’ll tomorrow! Take care!
