Wash Day Diary @ 7 Weeks Post: Kinky Twist Wash Day

"I noticed build up on two twists on either side of my temples and a little right at the front of my hairline. As the sun is shining today and it has been 2 weeks since I installed the kinky twists I thought it was as good a time as any for a Kinky Twist Wash Day,"

I really love my wash days when I am wearing kinky twists as they are so simple and straight forward.

Today these were the steps I followed:

This is all I put on my hair although I forgot to photograph my leave in/post wash moisturiser Taliah Waajid Bodifier Mist mix which I sprayed on my hair after washing and conditioning.

1. Thoroughly saturated my scalp and hair whilst in the shower using my shower filter head

2. Applied shampoo which was Toni & Guy Jamelia Model.Me Enriching Shampoo which I found at home. I purchased 3 bottles from Poundland long before the start of my HHJ and I still have more than 2 and a half bottles left. I mixed 1 ounce of shampoo with 3 ounces of very warm water in my applicator bottle and shook this up to mix before applying the entire contents to my scalp along the partings between my twists. I then popped on the gusset of a pair of tights (nope, I'm not posting pics of how I looked with that on my head!) before gently massaging the shampoo into my scalp.

3. I then removed the stocking cap and thoroughly rinsed my scalp and entire length of the twists before pouring a black tea rinse onto my scalp.

4. I left the black tea in my hair and then made my conditioner mix consisting of 1 ounce in total of Lustrasilk Cholesterol and Organix Coconut Milk Conditioner and topped this up with 7 ounces of warm water. I then applied this lightly to my scalp but concentrated the application to the length of my hair. I left the mix on for about 5mins before rinsing out and popped a towel on my hair to soak up the excess water.

5. Lastly I spritzed my hair with my Taliah Waajid Mist Bodifier before popping my hair into a high bun (**,)
