Two Strand Twists


One of my protective styles, are the two-strand twists; when I am going to work, I would wear a short wig over especially during hot humid days. I always wear a mesh wig cap with a wig because the mesh wig allows the hair to breath, unlike the the nylon stocking wig cap. I would place my hair in twists after my hair has completely dried from shampooing and conditioning. With the right shampoo and conditioner and treatments for my type of hair, the end results can be very good.

Post Relaxer Touchup Treatment

Today, I have rinsed out the Joico's Revitaluxe and Kenra's Mango Butter Moisturizer; following last night's relaxer Touchup. I completed the process with the use of the Joico's K-Pak Reconstruct leave-in, followed by Dudley's PCA Moisture Retainer, and sealant, Morrocan Oil. My hair is now air drying.

Today's Regimen

Today, I have completed my hair regimen which I :

1. Shampooed my hair with the Mizani Puriphying shampoo.

2. Combined a mixture of Joico's Revitaluxe Bio-Advanced Restorative Treatment with Kenra's Platinum Mango Butter Moisturizer for normal to medium hair.
3. Placed a conditioning cap after applying the conditioners to my hair; and let it sit for forty minutes.

4. After rinsing the contents from my hair, I applied the Joico's K-Pak Reconstruct Leave-In Protectant; then applied the Dudley's PCA Moisture Retainer to the ends.

5. I would complete this process by applying the Morrocan Oil as a sealant.

6. I sit under the dryer on cool setting for a full hour, and allow the rest of my hair to air dry.

Changes In My Haircare Regimen

I've recently changed my haircare regimen by switching haircare products that would provide my hair protein and moisture balance. Whether
my hair is relaxed or dual-textured, Kenra's Platinum Mango Butter Moisturizer and Joico's K-Pak Intense Hydrator and Dudley's PCA Moisture Retainer is what I now use to acquire such.

After shampoo, I would apply a combination of the Joico Intense Hydrator and the Kenra Platinum Mango Butter Moisturizer onto my hair and would massage it in and let it sit for five to ten minutes. I would rinse out, blot dry and apply the Dudley's PCA Moisture Retainer as my leave-in. I comb through to ensure full coverage and sit under the dryer for one hour on cool setting and after one hour is up, I allow my hair to air dry for the remaining hours. The Joico K-Pak Intense Hydrator, is a protein based reconstructor and Kenra Platinum Mb moisturizer is strictly moisture based. The combination of these two items provides me with protein and moisture balance.
