So this blog post has four consecutive hair days in a row! I had an excellent wash day, which sets the tone for the days to follow. I also got to take some pictures outside and near natural light since it stays lighter out longer and that makes me so happy! Hopefully soon I will have wash day pictures near natural light also. Read on for more. You can definitely still see some of my fragile and damaged areas in some of these pictures, but it is what it is. I really hate Devacurl and what they did to me and thousands of others. WASH DAY Here is what I used: - Pre-Poo: Olaplex No 3 - Cleanser: The Innate Life Shampoo - Mask: Ouidad Curl Recovery Meltdown Extreme Repair Mask - Stylers: Save Me From Chemical Conflict, Original Moxie Everyday Leave-In, Treluxe Reflex Serum, Ouidad VitalCurl+ Tress Effects Gel, Olaplex No 7 Bonding Oil -Technique: Applying products in small sections, massaging them in and then scrunching.
