Ironing out the kinks!

Hola amigas!

I know my last couple of posts have been about how I do my pre-poo and wash. I didn't know that I would be straightening my hair again so soon, but I did after my wash this last weekend.

This pre-poo mixture that I made was composed of the these products:

Pre-poo mix: Beautiful Textures Tangle Taming Leave-in Conditioner, Beautiful Textures Curly to Straight Flat Iron Silkener, Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Moisturizing Conditioner, and extra virgin olive oil were combined. 


Herbal Essences Hello
Hydration Moisturizing Shampoo
Herbal Essences Hello
Hydration Moisturizing Shampoo
The pre-poo was applied to dampened hair and let stay in for ~10 minutes. Then, the pre-poo mix was rinsed out, and hair washed with Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Moisturizing Shampoo and the Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Moisturizing Conditioner was used upon completion of the wash, rinsed out after ~10 minutes.


In order to ensure that my hair remained moisturized and protected from the heat that would be applied by the blow dryer in the blow-out process, I applied the Beautiful Textures Tangle Taming Leave-in Conditioner and Beautiful Textures Curly to Straight Flat Iron Silkener.


Before blow- out: Beautiful Textures Tangle Taming Leave-in Conditioner and Beautiful Textures Curly to Straight Flat Iron Silkener were applied to hair to retain moisture and protect from heat addition.

Using a wide toothed comb and a brush, the blow out process was done. This helped to detangle the hair and make sure that it was dry before flat ironing. After the blow out, a quick length check was done and a little bit more of the flat iron silkener was applied before straightening. Coconut oil was then applied very lightly to the scalp and hair to give extra shine.

I am still working on the correct proportion of ingredients to combine in the formulation of my pre-poo and there are lots of other things to try of course. Right now my main goals are to develop a hair care regimen and stick to it! So far, things are working well and if you have any questions/ comments/ concerns/ requests, feel free to ask!

Paz!
