Wash Day October 9, 2014

This week's wash day post is a little late and basically a trial of new products. I went to visit my sister and did not bring any of my products with me (smart), and I stretched this wash day an additional two days from both lack of products and time; but as it turns out my sister had an arsenal of Organix products (which I have been dying to try) so I was super excited when I finally decided to wash my hair. Things went a bit differently this time around...

1. I usually pre-poo with my boo Hot Six Oil, but since I was away from home and my sister didn't have any oil I had to use conditioner.  I sectioned my hair, grabbed her Organix Coconut Milk Conditioner and applied a generous amount to each section. I combed the conditioner through using my wide-toothed shower comb and secured each section into a bun before applying a plastic conditioning cap and letting the conditioner sit for about 35 minutes.
2. Releasing one section at a time, I rinsed the conditioner before applying a nickel-sized amount of Organix Coconut Milk Shampoo and working it through my roots gently then through the length of my hair. I noticed this shampoo did not cling to my hair or scalp and left it feeling both soft and strong. After rinsing the shampoo I wrung the excess water from my hair and blotted it gently with a t-shirt before securing it and moving on to the next section.
3. Then I applied a quarter-sized amount of Organix Argan Oil of Morocco Renewing Conditioner to each section focusing on the ends before moving the product up my hair shaft. As I combed the conditioner through I noticed my hair was extremely soft and detangling was a breeze. I secured each section in a bun before applying a plastic conditioning cap and sitting beneath a hooded dryer for 20 minutes. I allowed the conditioner to cool for another 10 minutes before rinsing first with warm water then sealing with cool water.
4. After wringing the excess water from my hair and blotting it dry with my t-shirt I applied a pea-sized amount of Organix Moroccan Argan Penetrating Oil Treatment followed by my ORS Moisturizing Hair Lotion down the length of my strands, focusing on the ends. I combed the product through using my wide tooth shower comb then began setting my hair on flex rods.
5. As usual I used a combination of grey and purple rods but somehow I ran out and had to throw in a few blue rods as well. Before rodding I made sure to thoroughly smooth my hair using my boar-bristle round brush. Once the rods were installed I sat beneath a hooded dryer for 1 hour on warm, and 1 hour on high; then air dried for another 3 hours.

Results: I really liked the Organix products, I noticed my hair detangled very easily and was extremely soft and smooth. Would I purchase these products for myself? The shampoo and conditioner? Maybe.The Penetrating Oil Treatment, definitely. I could instantly feel the difference in my hair once I applied this oil; it gave great slip, and both smoothed and softened my strands. I am actually thinking of picking some up tomorrow. My curls were soft and smooth and the actually dropped dramatically the next day and I think that was because my hair was too soft to hold the curls.

How was your most recent wash day?
