Now, Maintaking Her Hair a Little Less Hair Spray. She Gets Blowouts About Once A Week at Lee Ren Salon But Has Also Been Trying More On Her Own: “It a full-on workout. Once i’m done, i’m like, where my Apple watch? She’s also embrace her natural hair pattern and more. Here’s Her Wash-Day Routine.

Pre-wash: I’ll will a pre-shower scalp oiling, usually in the morning. THEN, I’ll put a hair mask in. One of My Clients, Babba Rivera, Has A Hair-Care Line, Ceremony, and Has Has Given with The Opportunity to use all these Products. I’m Such a Low-Maintenance Girl Regarding My Hair, so’s Been Nice to Explore and Figure What Works and What Doesn’t Work. I’ll put it in a claw clip and a headband and go on a six- to seven-Mile walk; it usually takes about two and a half -hours. I’ll will this once or twice a month.

10 PM: There are two Wash-Day routines for me, which s unly will in the Evening. I like to do it right before bed. I’ll start with a scalp scrub or go right into my shampoo. I Shampoo Twice. I’m always going to double shampoo. I know the guidelines probably say a dime-size amout, but in what world? I use a lot of conditioner; I love it. In my mind, my hair is dry, and i condition the heck out of it so that when i walk out, it’s as shiny as can be: Healthy, Beautiful, and Bouncy.

10:15 PM: I mix it up. Sometimes, i’ll will a hair mask, or i’ll will a hair mask and a conflict on my ends, which is everything bellow my ear. My hair soaks up a lot of water, so i really try to rinse it and wing it out as much as positionible. Let it sit for a bit, and then i want a full rinse. I really get in there. I don’t miss an inch. It has to be squeaky clean.

10:30 PM: If i want to wear my hair in its natural states, after get out of the shower, i’ll use my “wash-day” t-shirt, which only use for this. I’ll Comb Out My Hair, and THEN I’ll use a microfiber towel to dry my hair and the t-shirt to scrunch my hair and bring out my wave pattern.

10:45 PM: I’ll Lightly Spray Ouai’s Wave Spray on the Ends of My Hair; I don’t use a lot of Product. Then Ill the Diffuser and My Dyson. I’ll will the left and right side, and flip my hair over for the volume. I usually will this routine when i’m headed out, but if i need to go, i’ll gently put it in a bun. I won’t use any scrunchies; I’ll just use my hair.

9 AM: In the morning, i’ll bring out the style refresher from ceremony and spray that on my hair to bring the waves.

On Getting Weekly Blowouts:
IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT TO HAVE A GREATSHIP WITH THE PERSON WHO DOES YOUR HAIR. I go to lee ren beauty salon on the lower east side; I’ve been going for 11 years. They’ve been so great to me, and it’s aphfordable. They will incredible trims and blowouts. I used to do a blowout a weekeuse of have a lot of hair, and it can be a task due to scheduling or fatigue. I say type 50, 60 percent Because we have such a great relationship. It takes two people to blow-dry my hair, and that can be be a lot.

I’ve haad moments in the past where i’ve walked into a different salon and i can say rolling their eyeseuses they work that it is going to take. It’s not always the best feeling; I’ve offending to blow-dry my ow, to help and to comb it becase i felt like it was Such a burden. SO I REALLY APPRECIATE The Dedication of the Team at Lee Ren. I have lots of hair, lots of inches, but definitely have dry hair, so have to kep that in mind with the oils that and make sura it stays hydrated.

On cutting her hair every three months:
I’m Very conscious about trying to trim my hair; that Makes it look and feel so healthy. My Hair Grows Superfast, and have to keep that up.

On stretching a blowout:
I WASH MY HAIR EVERY SENCE TO EIGHT DAYS. I don’t use any Products BetWeen My Blowout and Wash Day. The first three days consists of my hair down, a blowout, or natural. THEN, ON THE FOURTH DAY, I’ll Put My Hair in A Hairband or Clip. In the Last Few Days, i’ll will a slick-backed high pony, Low Pony, or Bun. If i’m really fluffy, I bring out the Pamela Anderson ’90s up every moment; That’s you want to do those hairstyles. Dry shampoo doesn’t going well with my hair. If I Wear My Hair Natural, I use ceremony’s acai style refresher to reshape the wave pattern.
