Promises: This 8 ounce jar is filled with butters, proteins and oils that will condition PC290717_thumb[2]and detangle hair on impact. This product will practically slide those kinks right out your hair. It is super slippery, and has an amazing smell *banana hint*. I recommend this product as a pre-wash which is my personal favorite or just a plain old leave in. It will assist and prevent matting. It will remove any unwanted shedding that causes tangles and knots. It will also allow the scalp to feel cleansed.

Directions: Use this product as a pre-wash which is my personal favorite or just a plain old leave in. It will assist and prevent matting. It will remove any unwanted shedding that causes tangles and knots. It will also allow the scalp to feel cleansed. ***Use gentle heat with your deep conditioner to get the most out of the treatment.***

Wash Day Session: Recovery from JACKED-UP-HAIR!

 

Today is wash day [September 8, 2013], my last wash day was September 1, 2013 when I had used some products sent to me for reviews. I had not so favourable experience with the line.

On September 3, 2013 I had to run through my stash to see what I could find to remedy the disaster. [I did a pre-poo with Original Moxie Emollience Pre-Poo Treatment and then steam with it for a further 30mins. I then co-wash with Tressemme Vibrantly Smooth Conditioner for a boost of Moisture and leave-in with Oyin Hair Dew seal with Shea Mix and Oyin Pomade. – My hair breathed again]

Anyway I still feel the need for another extra kick of Moisture, suppleness and manageability. So I decide to do another wash session today. The products below is what I will be using today.

My Wash Day Session: Take #3

 

Overdue wash day session again [September 1, 2013], so this was my last wash date. This session I will be using some products I was sent many months ago to review.

I started out with a pre-poo using coconut oil and I finger detangled. I decide that from this month for about the next 2 months I will be giving finger detangling a go again. I tried it out at the start when I BC 16 months ago but I didn’t appreciate it then. Neither did I fully understand how to work with my hair and what would work to help make finger detangling easier and effective.

Anyway, the night before I took apart my twist out and work through each twist-outs with some coconut oil and gently work it through from tips to root and then from roots to tip throughout my hair.

After my whole head was detangled and coconut oil was applied to it, I then cover my hair with two steam caps and scarf up for the night.

The [pic] below is my hair the next day after the over night pre-poo and the coconut oil I used to pre-poo with.
