A lot of people claim that taking care of your natural hair seems like a full-time job, I don’t agree with this statement. A week in my routine is … well, you can be the judge of that.
Friday:
Hot Oil Treatment:
My hair routine usually starts on Friday Night. I start with doing a hot oil treatment using 100% castor oil or my DIY Oil Mixture. I split my hair into 4 – 6 sections and coat the section in the oil. Then, I place a plastic bag over my hair along with my satin cap. Next, I let it sit for 1 hour or overnight.
Saturday:
Deep Condition:
First things first, deep treatment. 99.9% of the time I wake up with REALLY soft hair. Then, I apply the deep conditioner and my deep conditioning cap over my hair. Next, I’m off to chores.
Shampoo:
I only cleanse my scalp using the vanity planet scalp massager or the pads of my fingers of each section.
Condition [& detangle]:
After rinsing out the oil, deep conditioner, and shampoo, it’s time to condition. Then, finger detangle using my fingers {or the comb when I’m in a rush}.
Then, rinse.
Moisturise:
After rinsing, moisture is key and {well you know the drift}.
Styling:
My signature style is a twist out with the help of flaxseed gel. I usually watch a show while doing this so I can’t really say how long it takes because I’m distracted. Then, I let it dry.
Sunday:
Still drying…
Monday:
Unravelling:
After tying my twists down with a satin scarf and cap for more than 24 hours, it’s time to unravel these bad boys.
Then, when I’m home it’s satin scarf and cap and bed.
Tuesday – Thursday:

Friday:
And then repeat [x rest of my life]
Now was that easy or soooo simple? 😉
XoXo,
