My Wash Day Routine for Relaxed Hair

Hey guys! I get a TON of requests now to show what products and methods I use now that I am relaxed. I thought I would start from the beginning to show you what exactly I do on wash day. Lately I've been using the JustNatural brand products which I have fallen in love with. In the video I use the entire line. This routine definitely helps me retain moisture and maximum growth. Enjoy!

Healthy hair growth starts with a clean head of hair:)

DIY Hairfinity Hair Growth Vitamins Hair Vitamin Hack

As of now there seems to be a boom in the marketing and usage of hair growth vitamins. Particular one I've used and seen celebrities endorse is Hairfinity. But is it better than regular ole Biotin? Does it even work? And I'm sure you're hoping not to break the bank. Fortunately for you I've beauty hacked these Hairfinity vitamins to allow you to get the same effect for a third of the price of Hairfinity and other market hair growth vitamins. Watch the video to find out how.

Natural to Relaxed! My Relaxed Hair Regimen

Healthy hair seems to be more of an anomaly these days than not. I however, decided to do something not only for the look, but the health of my hair. I relaxed! Watch the video to find out what my results were. In the meantime here is my newly relaxed hair regimen and some of the products I'm loving right now:

Relaxed hair can be healthy!

Pre-Poo 1x/week (Using either a hot oil mix or any conditioner or both!)
Shampoo 1x/week (Design Essentials Honey Creme Moisture Retention Shampoo)
Light Protein Conditioner 1x/week (Aphogee 2 Min Reconstructor)
Deep Condition 2x/week (Right now my hair loves Ion Swimmer's Conditioner and Aussie 3 Min Moist)
CoWash 2x/week (Currently Trying out As I Am Coconut Cowash. Cheapie conditioners don't seem to do the trick for me. Will update soon!)
Apply Leave-In Daily (Silken Child Detangler & African Pride Shea Butter Moisture Intense Leave-In)
Moisturize & Seal Daily (Water, Design Essentials Moisture Lotion and Moisturizing Creme, EVOO, Pure Shea Butter)
Protective Style through the week (and weekends if doing nothing) and Braid outs on the weekend

I'm new to the relaxed HHJ (healthy hair journey) so much of this is still trial and error. It's been a little over a month since I relaxed and I'm starting to learn what my hair does and doesn't like, needs and doesn't need. Surely this will change as I learn more. Hope this helps!
