Co-Wash Plan


With all the healthy hair posts that I've done, I've come to a realization that it takes a lot more than a healthy hair routine for you to get sexy naturally healthy hair.

I've been a die hard blow dryer lately, and its made me realize the error of my ways.

Recently, I noticed how disgusting and unclean my hair looked, it was sticky and unmanageable, and although I did neglect my own advice and healthy hair routine and treatments, I think it's safe to say my diet and stress is playing a huge role in it as well. I've been wanting to Co-Wash for quite sometime, I always read about it and people boasted about their sexy silky strands, and even youtubers with gorgeous hair.
Till now I thought Co-Wash is for Black girls, that had kinky dry hair, but I was corrected.


After careful research and analyzing my own personal hair needs, I think I'm ready to began my hair journey.

Step 1:
No matter what you do, you're diet and lifestyle plays a huge role in what you look like, so skip the burgers and opt for a delicious healthy shawarma and plain water.Take your vitamins
Step 2:
Analyze your hair, if you're hair is normal, you might not need to go hard like us Dry-ladies. My hair is super dry, and I've been giving myself anxiety because I think I have bubble hair and I know i  have crinkle damage. With all those sexy curls I rocked all of 2012, it's safe to say I'm going to Hair Hell.

Step 3
This is the main step....The Plan..alter this according to your hair.


The Plan


Tips:
Avoid styling tools
Avoid Silicone
Sleep with a light braid
Use a hair dry turban
Don't tie your hair when wet
use a Wide Tooth comb
Keep a hair log, this will help you keep track of everything. You can always go back and alter the plan to see what works for you better and what didnt. 
Color treated girlies try a Protien filler with deep conditioner right after before you do any of these steps..give your hair about 2-3 weeks before starting this.

Day 1
  1. Apply coconut oil mixed with Honey to your hair and leave it on for atleast 3 hours. This will soften the blow from the next step.
  2. Use your favorite Clarifying Shampoo (Neutrogena makes a great one, but I'm currently using Garnier pure clean) * Rinse and Repeat*  - This will make your hair DRY as a fucking bone..Don't you worry though. 
  3. Apply a thin layer of olive oil from root to tip..if your hair is really dry like mine, Put on a deep conditioner mixed with some of your favorite oil *Except coconut*, try to use one that does NOT contain any silicone. Leave it on for 30+ minutes with a shower cap over your head.
  4. Put some almond oil or olive oil to your ends to protect them. 
Next wash (should be within 3-5 days)
  1. No more Shampoo for you, so instead of rinsing your hair out with  shampoo, steep some green tea and let it cool. Rinse your hair out with green tea, letting it sit in your hair for 3-4 minutes. Massage your scalp gently to promote blood flow. Skip this step if you want to, but I think it maintains the cleanliness
  2. Apply your conditioner and leave it on for 3-4 minutes and wash it off as you would. I wouldn't apply it to the roots, because it can cause buildup.. Opt for a silicone free one.
  3. Apply oil to the ends to protect them

 Next wash (3-5 days)
  1. Analyze your hair, is your hair really dry, or feels really unclean. 
  2. Repeat previous step if you're hair is still feeling somewhat dry or really dry
  3. Otherwise take about a spray bottle and mix 1 part Apple cider vinegar and 1.5 part water (preferably distilled) and spray your hair. leave it on your hair...Let it dry and condition as usual
  4.  If you HAVE to and you're hair looks like KFC fried chicken , take a quarter size shampoo with no sulfate *Macadamia Oil has a great one* and wash ONLY your roots with it. let the product run through your hair. Skip the conditioner, opt for just oil around the ends..
Repeat till you hit the 2 week mark..
If your hair is doing well with this continue on..whenever you feel like its had too much build up and you just want a squeeky clean, restart from day 1.
