Fall/Winter 2010 - Week 1

Week 1 went as follows:


Sunday
-Shampooed, deep conditioned, and styled in two strand twists
Monday
-Wore twist up in a pony with the ends tucked. At night moisturized the ends and sealed lightly with some shea butter
-The ponytail is released each night so that the hair will not become stressed and begin to break
Tuesday
-During the day wore twists up in another ponytail
-In the evening did a light scalp massage with some whipped shea butter, focusing special attention on the crown area because it was a little itchy
Wednesday
-Still wearing hair up in a ponytail with the ends tucked
-Applied shea butter to the ends just before wrapping up for the night
Thursday
-In the morning lightly moisturized the ends with leave-in conditioner, sealed, and styled into another ponytail with the ends tucked
Friday
-During the day wore hair pulled hair into a ponytail with the ends tucks
-In the evening removed two strand twists and let hair rest in huge plaits
Saturday
-Pre-poo for 30mins, Shampoo once(scalp only), deep condition for 30mins, and style while wet in cornrow/twist updo using only shea butter to seal in moisture.

Thoughts for the week:
This week actually involved more manipulation that I like when protective styling. When doing twists I need to try and put them in an updo that I will not have to touch all week but can spritz through out the week to provide moisture.
Also, I would like to move wash day to Saturdays so that I can start the week off with a fresh style.

Random: I wonder if I could stick to protectives styles consistently for one year. Hmmm...
