Hair Care routine (For damaged Curly hair)

So I have permed hair, and highlights also. Granted my ā€œ highlights weren’t actually bleached but dyed a lighter brown bc i wanted them to look on the more natural side. So my hair after dying and then the perm was dry, damaged to where i defied gravity, split ends, not shiny at all, and just over all unhealthy. So here is what i did for my personal hair type to get it from dry to shiny, healthy, super bendy, shiny and smooth. Plus it smells good :)

There are some supplies you will need for this routine:

1. Scalp massager

2. Anti-dandruff Shampoo + Moisturizing shampoo

3. Conditioner + Leave in conditioner (for curls only)

4. Scalp oil

5. Olive oil

6. Honey

7. Avocado Oil

8. Cotton Towel or Shirt

9. Brush

10. Hair trimming scissors

Ok so for starters I’m explaining my routine to cater to curly hair but you can do this routine just skip a few steps (ei. scrunching, leave-in conditioner.)

Start by brushing your hair, gently moving from the ends to the top to avoid breakage. Now this is where I trimmed my split ends so if you guys want I will make a separate post on how I trimmed my hair but once again its just how I did it. Not saying its the best way x-x Moving on so after i trimmed my split ends off I mixed olive oil, conditioner, avocado oil, and honey together to make a diy hair mask because INFLATION i gotta save money were I can Y-Y. After I mix that together I section and apply my scalp oil and rub it in for a minute or two to promote hair growth. (I use rosemary mint scalp oil) After rubbing that in I apply the hair mask allllllllllll over my hair making sure everything is coated. Then i braid my hair and let it sit for an hour or two. NOT OVERNIGHT. This mask does dry down so you wont have a wet sticky mess :) Then after however long I was my scalp with my anti-dandruff shampoo. Then my moisturizing shampoo. I apply a little bit if conditioner and let it sit while i do my body-care. Then rise that out in cool/cold water. This is where you stop reading if you have straight hair😭 From there I apply my leave in curl conditioner and scrunch for my curls. (They are not styled in the pictures) and then take my cotton towel and scruuuunchhhhhhh the water out. You can diffuse but any heat will further damage your hair. And voila apply a tiny bit of oil to your ends after its dried and soft, silky, shiny, healthy hair!! :) like and follow for more and comment if you want to see those other posts!! :) I will be doing a Monthly Self-care reset post with before and after photos in a week or so [Right before prom ;)]

I can also make a part 2 showcasing the exact products I used if you guys want :) #do my curly hair routine #curlyhairhealth #curlroutine #curlyhairtips

... Read moreMaintaining healthy curly hair, especially when it's damaged from perming and coloring, can be challenging but rewarding. Start by understanding your hair's porosity—low porosity hair tends to resist moisture. Incorporating a scalp massager can boost circulation and enhance hair growth. Using a combination of anti-dandruff and moisturizing shampoos is essential to cleanse without stripping natural oils. Don't skip the conditioner! Opt for leave-in conditioners specifically formulated for curls to keep your hair hydrated. The DIY hair mask created with olive oil, honey, and avocado oil not only nourishes your curls but is cost-effective. Lastly, always dry your hair with a cotton towel to minimize frizz and retain defined curls. Remember, everyone’s hair is unique, so feel free to adjust this routine according to your needs and preferences as you strive for healthy, vibrant curls!
