My go-to style is wigs. I wear wigs 95% of the time, only time I deal with my hair is every Sunday.

My haircare Routine-

Monday to Saturday my hair is tucked away under wigs. One week every month I do the inversion method-oil my scalp with castor oil and peppermint every day of that week and tilt my head (inversion) This is done ONE WEEK of every month so my head won't get too accustomed to the rush of blood.

Weekly;

Every Saturday night I take out my cornrows (section my hair into 4 for easy distribution) and pre-poo my hair (I use raw aloe vera gel from the plant and my oil mixture of olive oil, peppermint, castor oil, jojoba and eucalyptus. Leave it in my hair over night till the next morning)

Sundays are usually my wash day so I get into the shower and use whatever conditioner or on rare occasions shampoo I find-my holy grail method of clarifying is using my aztec indian healing clay and ACV. When I'm done shampooing my hair I use my deep condition treatment and use a Saran wrap (cling film) to intensify my deep treatment. This can be left on for hours depending on my mood. (all these processes are done in sections)

At night time, I hop into the shower and start working the sections. I finger detangle under running water as I rinse out my deep conditioner, when the deep conditioner is completely rinsed out I use my rinse out conditioner and continue finger detangling. When I am done with each section I twist it to get it out of the way and move to the next.

After I'm done rinsing out the conditioner and detangling all the sections I get my cold Aloe vera juice and pour it down my hair to shock the cuticles shut enhancing shine and balancing my hairs PH

Out of the shower I use an old T-shirt to dry my hair. Working in those same sections, I follow the (L.O.C) to seal in moisture. Then cornrow my hair for my wig.

Some days mid-week I take out my hair and moisturize and seal it, oil my scalp with castor oil and re-braid my hair again for the wig.

Monthly-

I do a hot oil treatment and a protein treatment usually DIY because I suspect I am protein sensitive.

I also try a black tea rinse depending on how my hair has been fairing that month.

Things to Know-

I NEVER detangle on dry hair, it always has to be saturated with product before I attempt to detangle.

I rarely use heat on my hair, I am trying to get into the habit of triming my hair regularly because I suffer from a lot of single strand knots. So once a year heat usage to trim my ends

I rarely do braids and weaves because I feel they break my hair a lot and I love easy assess to my hair.
