Wash Day Ritual: More than a routine.
Voluspa Citron Vert Candle | Mason Pearson Comb | Journal | Organic Coconut Oil | Bamboo Tea | The Sprush |
I've got a confession to make. Lately the idea of spending hours on wash day pre-pooing, deep conditioning, steaming, roller setting, styling, has become a bit monotonous. That's when I realized that I was in desperate need of a little inspiration. After all, this is the most important day of the week (as far as my hair is concerned). I should relish this day. Instead, I'm beginning to see it as an inconvenience.
Since I'm desperately trying to avoid another setback, I know this feeling of complacency can not continue. So I've decided to flip the script on the entire operation and change the way I look at (and do) my weekly wash routine.
I'll start by calling it a weekly ritual because the word routine has such a negative connotation to it.

This is a great post. I'm feeling the same way. I need to bring the sexy back to wash day as well! LOL
ReplyDeleteI try to do like this:
ReplyDeletemassage coconuoil and oliveoil in my hair before bedtime on a Friday. Sleep with it in. Saturday morning I got to the gym, train for one hour, then wash the hair, put deep conditioner into it, go into the sauna for around 15 minute, wash the hair, put in argan oil and comb through and then let it air dry on my way home. It all takes less than 1 and a half hour, exercise included. And my hair and body is fresh and clean for the weekend!
@Anon- I love that idea! Sounds amazing, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteTotally random Nadege but check out 'Oil Pulling'. I'm late to the party on it but still spreading the word:)

ReplyDeleteAwesome post! There is something about re-reading my old hair journey journal that reminds me as long as we are learning from yesterday to make today better, then there is progress.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love posts like these Nadege, you need to do more :) Will be trying Anon's tips cause my hair is currently dry city no matter how many times i clarify-deep condition - moisturise it. I just want to chop it off already and give up
