🧖🏾♀️ Sunday – Wash Day (Growth & Hydration Focus)
1. Pre-Poo Treatment (before shampoo)
Pre-poo protects your hair from moisture loss during washing.
Mix:
- Warm coconut oil + aloe vera gel + a few drops of rosemary or tea tree oil
Apply to: Hair and scalp, cover with plastic cap for 30 mins.
2. Gentle Shampoo (Sulfate-Free)
Use a hydrating or anti-dandruff natural shampoo (look for ingredients like tea tree oil, neem, or apple cider vinegar).
Focus on scalp cleansing without over-stripping natural oils.
3. Deep Conditioning Mask (Weekly Must!)
DIY Option:
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 ripe banana (blended)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 egg yolk (optional protein boost)
Leave on for 30–45 minutes with a shower cap. Rinse thoroughly.
4. Moisturize + Seal
- Use a water-based leave-in conditioner.
- Follow with a thick oil or cream like shea butter, castor oil, or a custom oil blend (castor + rosemary + jojoba).
This locks in moisture and keeps hair soft throughout the week.
💆🏾♀️ Wednesday – Scalp Stimulating Midweek Boost
1. Scalp Massage (5–10 min)
Use warm oil (castor + peppermint + tea tree oil).
Gently massage your scalp using your fingertips or a scalp brush.
This increases blood flow and stimulates hair follicles.
2. Hydration Refresh (LCO Method)
- Liquid: Spray hair with aloe vera juice or water.
- Cream: Use a lightweight cream or leave-in.
- Oil: Seal ends with oil.
This combats dryness and encourages length retention.
🌿 Friday – Moisture Top-Up + Scalp Refresh
- Light mist with aloe vera water or DIY herbal spray (green tea + peppermint + rosemary water).
- Apply light oil to scalp and ends.
- Finger-detangle gently if needed.
