Hot oil treatment & Moringa Rinse----Preparation towards Relaxer day.
Tuesday, April 05, 2016Hey Hairgineers,
I have gradually come to end of yet another relaxer stretch, i have been religiously waiting 6 months in between relaxer application to my hair since 2014, so now at #23weekspostrelaxer i need to prepare my hair for relaxing next week, texlaxing actually because i texlax. You wondering what texlax is? Well you are late to the club but not to worry i've got you. Read this post to find about how i texlax my hair.
Hot Oil treatment.
I mixed coconut oil and grape seed oil together in my Doo-gro applicator bottle and placed it inside boiled water to heat it up. I then parted my hair into sections and applied the warm oil to my scalp as well as along the entire length of my hair. I wrapped with a stretch tite plastic food wrap, then wrap with a silk scarf and went about my house cleaning. It was a very busy day for me as Easter celebration was on full swing so i let in it the entire day.

Protein/Moisture Treatment
I needed to reinforce my hair with some protein as my hair will be loosing some protein due to the relaxer process so i did a protein treatment. I washed the oil outta my hair with Mane-n-tail shampoo, then applied Mane-n-tail conditioner which i left in for 3 minutes, then washed the conditioner.

Moringa Rinse
I firstly wonna hail Nigerians and their craze for things, at one point in Naija, Moringa was the bible, every where/one was all about Moringa, it was Moringa this, Moringa that. Moringa leaves were sold raw, converted to powder, u name it, people were rushing to buy because apparently it has so much health benefit. Lately i discovered that the all mighty Moringa was very beneficial to the hair. So i decided to try it.

I partly dried my hair, detangled it thoroughly, applied moisturizer ,sealed with oil and styled in a side parting.
During my next hair wash, after the relaxer process that is, i will try the Moringa rinse again, so i will give proper update on how my hair turned out using it.
I will be posting my relaxer/texlax update as well and a length check (excited about this). So keep an eye on this blog.

I have used moringa leaves on my hair for a rinse out. I brew the fresh leaves in hot water for about 8 minutes. I diluted it a bit to take the temperature down and used immediately on my hair as a final rinse.
