My Step by step Hair Wash Routine:
Step 1:The day before, I apply my favorite hair growth oil to my scalp.
- I use a homemade hair mask that promotes hydrated curls and growth.
- Using a wide-tooth comb of your choose however here are some wide tooth combs recommended, I divide my hair into four sections.
Step 2: I run warm water (never hot) over my hair for about 20 seconds to open my hair follicle pores.
Step 3:Next, I apply my must-have Canvas Beauty hair follicle booster, infused with peppermint and tea tree oil.
Step 4: I follow up with the co-designed Canvas Beauty shampoo (cherry blossom), which smells heavenly. I rinse with cool water and give myself a scalp massage with my scalp massager while washing.
Step 5:
Then, I use the co-designed Canvas Beauty conditioner (smells amazing too!) and rinse with cold water to seal in all the nutrients.
Step 6:
I gently pat and squeeze dry my hair (never rub, as it can cause damage).
Step 7:
- For styling, I use one of my favorite curl enhancer hair smoothies which leaves a residue-free finish and smells divine.
- I style my hair in small or medium twists, using the curl enhancer to define my curls. I also apply pure coconut oil to the ends and a small amount of avocado oil to the roots.
- Step 8:
- Let it air dry (to avoid heat damage) and natural volume and then wrap it with a silk hair cap every time you lay down (yes even during nap time too!
There you have it, my 8-step routine for washing my all-natural hair! I typically wash my hair 2-3 times a week and have noticed that since increasing the frequency, my scalp is cleaner and more hydrated. My hair products also work more effectively because my hair follicles are no longer clogged. It’s a refreshing routine, and finding the right products for your natural hair is crucial. If you’re interested in trying the products I mentioned, click the links above. Remember, your hair is your crown of glory, so take care of it and get back on track with me if you’ve fallen off.
This routine and the recommended products have transformed my hair in less than a month. After giving birth to my newborn baby five months ago, my hair was breaking, and I dealt with an itching scalp which created sores, and scabs and my hair began to thin around my edges due to postpartum hormones. Now, it’s like night and day. My hair has been healthier and stronger in such a short amount of time. I am so grateful for this routine and hope it helps you with your hair goals!
