Wash Day @ 6 weeks post

So I am six weeks post and I am half way through my winter stretch. I have been evaluating my NG and it's trying to bud. It's not much. But with every wash day, I notice a few more curls. Due to the minimal amount of NG, this stretch has been manageable. 

Even though my stretch has not gotten ridiculous....yet, I plan to give my hair and mind a break by putting my hair in a protective style later this week. I am hoping that this style will last me at least 3 weeks, but I am definitely hoping for entire month of November. So with this wash, I will be prepping my hair for the braid installation this week. 

1. I pre-pooed with castor oil and grapeseed oil. After a few minutes, I rinsed my hair. 

2. I clarified my hair with suave clarifying shampoo. It felt so good to rinse my hair squeaky clean because I have been using oil everyday for a few weeks. I haven't clarified in months. 

3. After rinsing the shampoo, I DC'ed with a mix of a moisturizing conditioner, a tablespoon of hair mask and a creamy detanglers. I also added a tablespoon of mixed oils, castor, olive, almond, grapeseed and jojoba. Under a plastic cap, my hair DC'ed for an hour. Afterwards I rinsed and Bantu knotted my hair. 

New growth shot. It's very little in amount. 

Wash day was ok.
