My hair routine🧖🏼‍♀️

My hair routine…

This is a step by step video of what I do for my hair washing day.

•Step 1. BRUSH

Brush your hair thoroughly and make sure you get all the knots out. I also will be getting me a new brush so any recommendations on good wooden brushes to use is greatly appreciated.

•Step 2. OIL

I oil my scalp and under the back of my hair which is the back of my scalp. I make sure I get my crown, front and anywheres I feel I need it. I then use my scalp scrubber all over and scrub really good where I put all the oil for 3-5 minutes. I oil my hair in the morning and let it sit all day until I shower that night. But you don’t have to do that you can leave it in for as long as you want but at least a minimum of 2 hours it should stay in your hair.

•Step 3. HAIR UP

I put my hair up so it’s out of my face. Sometimes I will do a slick back hairstyle or just throw it in a ponytail. But if I’m super lazy I will just put it up with a claw clip. Then we leave her and let her sit all day.

•Step 4. WASH

I brush my hair out really good and then hop in the shower. I will wet, wash, and wash again all in really warm water. When I do my first wash I use my scalp scrubber all over the top and back under my hair scalp really well. Scrubbing really good making sure I remove all the build up and residue from my scalp. I will then rinse it with really warm water and then wash it again. On my second wash I will only use my fingers to wash it to cleanse and nourish my scalp. Then I rinse again with the really warm water. I will always try new shampoo and conditioners when I run out of the one I’m currently using. I will use up all the shampoo and conditioner I have and then go and try a new shampoo and conditioner because it’s not good to stick to one shampoo and conditioner.

•Step 5. CONDITION

When conditioning my hair I only do my middle and ends. Which is only the hair from the end of the back of my hair to the ends of my hair. I will let it sit in my hair for a good few minutes so that it can get all moisture put back into my ends. While that’s sitting in my hair I typically wash my body, shave, wash my face etc. to kill the time so when it’s time to rinse I just rinse and get out. Now when I rinse my hair I rinse in cold but not too cold water. Reason for the wet, wash and rinse in really warm, and then condition and rinse in cold water is to first open your hair/ends up with the really warm water and then rinse the conditioner in cold to lock in all the moisture. I mean why take the time to do all that work for nothing. I will also rinse my face from when I was cleaning my face while waiting for my conditioner to sit because just like your hair you should always wet you face with warm water to open your pores and rinse in cold to help prevent acne, boost circulation, and reduce inflammation. But I can do a separate video on skin care.

•Step 6. DRY

So before I get out the shower I make sure to get all the water out of my hair by grabbing my hair and pulling it all the way down removing the excess water. Once I’m out I take my towel and pat my hair and do the same thing I did to remove all the excess water out by taking my towel and squeezing the towel around my hair. Once I feel it’s pretty clear of any excess water I just let it air dry or I will sometimes use my blow dryer to dry it faster if I’m in a rush. But if I blow dry then I will use a heat protectant cream on my hair beings my hair is wet and I’m putting heat to it.

•Step 7-9. OIL & VOLUME

I make sure my hair is 99% dry to brush all the knots out of my hair before u do anything else. I will take my color wow volumizer and pump 1-2 times in my hand and then rub my hands together. I put it all places that I want or need volume. Focusing more on my top and crown of my scalp. But will also go underneath the back of my scalp. Now time to oil my hair. Taking my olaplex bonding oil and getting a hearty amount of drops in my hand. I say hefty because my hair is LONG so I need a lot for all of the length I have. Rubbing my hands together to then disperse it all throughout my hair. Focusing more on my scalp and ends but making sure I get it all through my hair. I make sure I am getting the ends pretty saturated with oil since that’s where it gets dry the most. I don’t want my hair to look like a GREASE BALL either though. So I will grab my hair ever so lightly and just softly run my fingers through the scalp and middle part of my hair.

You now have just completed my way of caring for your hair.
