M A K E - I T - L A S T 🦋

Did my wash & go with Soultanicals and Melanin Hair Care last ONE week? YES it did sis! 🥰 It’s nice to know that if I’m too busy or just don’t want to wash my hair mid-week, that my curls stay poppin, hydrated and moisturized ALL week long without adding additional products!! 💦 If you’re wondering how I make my soft hydrated wash & go LAST ONE WEEK with little to no effort, then keep on reading 👉🏽👉🏽

1️⃣ On the DAILY, I keep my hands out of my head and resist hand-in-hair-syndrome! Trust me, this is not easy to do. But I promise you if you conquer keeping your hands of out of your head (i.e. playing with your hair), you will get your reward. 😉 I’ll talk more about this in a future post.

2️⃣ At NIGHT, I sleep on a satin pillow case with a satin scarf. It’s just like #exercise ... if you want a healthy fit body, then exercise daily. If you want great hair, then protect it with satin daily. Personally, I had to unlearn my own bad habits and learn new good habits to get the results I want. #justdoit

3️⃣ I DO NOT ADD additional products or water to my hair during the week. This was a hard one for me to unlearn because literally everything I’ve ever heard & read about “how to keep natural hair moisturized” recommends that you “refresh” your hair daily with something! Heck, I even used to recommend it and I used to do it too! Here’s what I’ve LEARNED .... if my original WASH & GO started on SUPER CLEAN hair followed by really GOOD PRODUCTS with a STYLING TECHNIQUE that suitable for MY HAIR TYPE, then I do not need to add or do anything special to keep my hair looking nice. Sis #truthmoment 😜 if your hair is dry, thirsty, crackling, crunchy and won’t hold a style, then it probably needs good washing, not a water spray bottle.

4️⃣ In the MORNING, I fluff my hair (a.k.a Anom) with my fingers, shake my head and GO! I do not use a PICK or anything else to fluff my hair out. I used to swear by a pick because I wanted that coveted “bighair” LOL! Until one day it hit me, 😆 my hair IS NOT naturally big. I have #finehair that’s #lowdensity #mediumporosity and very curly! When I retired my pick, I noticed less tangles at my roots, less premature frizz and my “defined” wash & go naturally evolved to fuller touchablely soft curls all on their own as the days passed by! Again, here’s another example of unlearning something that I used to do, and learning a better way to do it for my hair. 🤗 #shameless 🦋 Happy hair journey y’all!! #theanomchronicles is my story of health, wellness, happiness and of course curly natural hair!
