Wash day - 12 weeks post 20/04/2013


  1. Again I didn't prepoo this week. The thoughts of doing this the day before were just not appealing so I sectioned my hair and headed straight in for a wash
  2. Started off with my usual shampoo from Body shop
  3. I then applied my moisture DC Keracare Humecto in sections and boy it was not fun. My new growth is killing me.  Covered with a plastic cap for about 20 minutes. 
  4. With the DC in my  hair I detangled with my wide tooth comb
  5. I rinsed this out and applied my Paul Mitchell Smoothing conditioner, massaged it in and rinsed out
  6. I wrapped my hair in a towel for about 3 hours or so
  7. I then applied Aphogee pro vitamin leave in, Aphogee green tea restructurizer (for a little protein boost) and my Paul Mitchell smoothing serum and left my hair in a bun to finish drying
  8. The next day I applied JBCO to my scalp and Scurl as my moisturiser(focusing on my new growth and ends) and sealed with Avocado oil. I detangled again while hair was moisturised.
No comb s still an awesome success so far. Seeing great results in unnecessary loss of hair. But damn I will be booking an appointment and cutting this stretch at 13 weeks post. Honestly I am dreading it as I know my ends are horrible so even though I have gained length as my new growth is living proof , I will be loosing some length at the end *sob*. But better do it now than much later I guess.

Wash Day - 11 weeks post 13/04/2013


My hair is getting so thick and not used to stretching at all. I may be giving up after this wash day and get a relaxer done. urgghhh.
  1. I didn't get a chance to prepoo at a;ll so sectioned my hair read for washing
  2. There was serious build up plus it had been some time i cleansed my hair. So kicked off with my Redken cleansing shampoo and followed up with my usual shampoo from Body shop
  3. I then followed up with a tea rinse using my trusted spray bottle so i Could get my scalp and roots soaked in the pleasures of tea
  4. I applied my protein DC over the tea rinse as well as my moisture DC Keracare Humecto. Covered with a plastic cap for about 20 minutes. 
  5. With the DCs in  my hair I detangled my hair
  6. I rinsed this out and applied my Paul Mitchell Smoothing conditioner, massaged it in and rinsed out
  7. I wrapped my hair in a towel for about 3 hours or so
  8. I then applied Aphogee pro vitamin leave in and my Paul Mitchell smoothing serum and left my hair in a bun to finish drying
  9. The next day I applied JBCO to my scalp and Scurl as my moisturiser(focusing on my new growth and ends) and sealed with Avocado oil
  10. I detangled once again and No comb until next wash day. 
My No comb policy is holding up pretty well. Only usig it on my wash days and honeslty am shedding less hair. For the rest of the week, will be moisturising as necessary.

Wash day - 10 weeks post 06/04/2013

Due to exams and work pressures, will be posting my last 3 wash days in one go. My greatest achievement was the fact that I still had time for my hair regardless :)


  1.  Last week , I didn't get a chance to prepoo properly so did the old prepoo with coconut oil. Wrapped my hair in cling film and a silk scarf overnight
  2. Sectioned my hair and rinsed out the oil
  3. Followed up with my usual shampoo from Body shop
  4. Once again I decided to use my new moisture DC Keracare Humecto. This time I took my time applying it and followed the instruction to the letter. Covered with a plastic cap for about 20 minutes. When I apply my DC, due to the thickness of my hair during stretching, I have to apply this line by line to ensure that the product touches every bit of hair. This means that I have to be careful when unbraiding the sections to apply my DC so as not to cause tangling.
  5. With the DC in my  hair i detangled with my wde toot comb
  6. I rinsed this out and applied my Paul Mitchell Smoothing conditioner, massaged it in and rinsed out
  7. I wrapped my hair in a towel for about 3 hours or so
  8. I then applied Aphogee pro vitamin leave in and my Paul Mitchell smoothing serum and left my hair in a bun to finish drying
  9. The next day i applied JBCO to my scalp and Scurl as my moisturiser(focusing on my new growth and ends) and sealed with Avocado oil. I detangled again while hair was moisturised.
For the rest of the week,  will be moisturising as necessary and my No comb policy still holds. Getting used to it :)
