Hey there eila love. Welcome back to yet another post in my blog. Just as the title suggests, guys am about to celebrate my 2nd year anniversary of having natural hair, which will be on the 5/29. In this post am going to share with you my washday routine after I unraveled the 3month old Nyasuba locs. If you haven’t read about that then stop reading this first and go read that here.
Anyway guys in this particular wash day routine I am switching up the products abit. I got my hands on Design essentials products about 3months ago and I have been using some of them except the shampoo which I wanted to try out so bad.
Design essential products.
I got my hands on:
5 shampoo testers that come in sachets.(The natural almond and avocado moisturizing and detangling sulfate free shampoo.)
A leave-in conditioner.(The New and improved kukui et coconut hydrating leave-in conditioner)
Herbal complex 4 hair et scalp treatment
Diamonds oil sheen spray.
The wash routine.
Pre-poo.
For the first step of my wash day, I used coconut oil to pre-poo my hair. I have written a post on pre-poo explaining its purpose and benefits here.
The shampoo process.
This part is pretty much basic. You just use your shampoo to cleanse off dirt and excess oils from your hair. I used two sachets of the design essentials shampoo. Honestly you guys… my mikalla cleansing and conditioning shampoo is unbeatable.
The conditioning process.
On freshly washed hair that is still wet, I applied my mikalla honey and butter conditioner to the strands of my hair. The defined curl pattern you get with this conditioner is perfect. It also smells good. I usually detangle my hair with a comb while I have on the conditioner because it just makes it easier to detangle.

Deep conditioning process.
Just like the conditioning process I applied my deep conditioner to wet hair. I used my mosara deep treatment masque which has coconut oil, castor oil, avocado oil and shea butter. This product nourishes the hair strands making it easy to manage, it also increases the strand elasticity as well. I wore a black shower cap and let it sit for about 30minutes before rinsing out just to let the magic happen.

The deep conditioner needs to be repurchased before my next wash day.
Moisturizing.
I used the design essentials leave-in treatment to add moisture to my hair and I worked it to the strands of my hair then sealed in the moisture with my mixture of oils. My hydrating butter by mosara got finished and I haven’t repurchased it yet but I will. That product also stole my heart. I always moisturize my hair with the LOC method.I.e liquid, oil, cream.
All this was done in preparation for my Nyasuba locs to be redone. I fell in love with this hairstyle earlier this year.
After my first hair anniversary, I did trim my hair about four times between the months of September and December. I will do an in depth post on the importance of trimming your hair.
Am not planning to trim my hair anytime soon because the rate of my hair splitting reduced and am currently in love with the way my hair is thriving.
That’s it my loves. Hope this post is informative.
😊💞
Love Eila.
