[@HealthyAfroHair]

Happy Sunday! In this video I’m sharing my UPDATED Washday Routine 💦 There’s been a few changes since my last one, so I wanted to keep you guys posted. Let me know if you use these same method or if you’ll be giving this a try. I’d also be interested in hearing what other methods you use too. Please LIKE & SUBSCRIBE to see more videos! Enjoy the rest of your weekend x

@DiasporAfri, LLC Yes it works so well 👌🏾

[@Elsa-Pearl]

Thank you for the update 😊 Quick qn: Does the shampoo from one section not go into the already shampooed section and cause product build-up in that section? -x-

[@HealthyAfroHair]

@@Elsa-Pearl You’re welcome ☺️ Great question 👌🏾 So yes it can overlap, so I just make sure that I add some water to rinse any areas that were close to where I was shampooing. Also I feel my hair to see if I can hear the sound of shampoo in it and rinse it off.

[@Elsa-Pearl]

@@HealthyAfroHair Thank you!!

[@megn2003]

Thank you, this was really helpful!

Definitely gonna try this, having thick hair is both a blessing and a struggle. Thanks for the tips! 👏🏾

😆😆 You’re welcome! Hope it works well for you.

[@marilynaber7396]

I followed this routine to the dot and I didn’t hate washday for the first time. Thank you. 💗

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Amazing! So happy to hear that 🤗

[@britjj5126]

What a great idea to add bands at the ends of your hair. To simplify even further you could use small/butterfly clips! And if you're worried about where to place them when it's off wear a band around your wrist in the shower and place the clip there when you take it off.

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Yes it works great! Adding clips is another good one 👌🏾 Thanks for sharing.

[@CassandraNamuyiga]

I tried this...it was so easy! My hair is so thick and difficult to detangle...but this worked perfectly for me. This is definitely my new routine! Thanks

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Amazing! 🙌🏾 So glad it worked for you too! Thanks for letting me know 🤗

[@SuthenGirl]

I’ve made a change. I go ever 3 weeks to a stylist for wash day now. 😂 I get tired of doing hair and cleaning up hair. Your hair has grown so much since you cut off the relaxer years ago. Looking good and healthy.

[@HealthyAfroHair]

So no need to worry about washday for you then 🤣 Thank you and yeah, it’s definitely grown a lot.

[@tiajuanacutner367]

Thanks for sharing Julie. I definitely will try the bands at the end to stretch the hair. Btw your curl pattern is gorgeous and your hair has grown so much.

[@HealthyAfroHair]

You’re welcome hun. Ahh…thank you and yes, it’s grown a lot! Yes give it a try and keep me posted on how you find it!

Hot Thermal Cap for Heated Deep Conditioning. It gives about 20 to 30 minutes of heat. I waited so long to buy one but it’s so worth it.

[@ivymahinda473]

Wow, I love this video❤️❤️❤️especially the part on banding to prevent the twists from shrinking back

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Thank you! Happy to hear you enjoyed it 🤗❤️

[@wandabarnett7554]

Great video! I think washing in sections definitely help with keeping the hair organized. I’m going to try twisting it as you did in the video. Normally I just clip mine up in 4 sections. I’m hoping twisting will help it not tangle up as much.

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Thank you! Yes, try it because it might work out even better for you to keep your hair elongated rather than clipped up. But at least you can compare and see which works best for you. Keep me posted.

[@chellewright557]

Great detailed video. Your hair is flourishing 😍… absolutely beautiful. I enjoy watching your videos.

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Ahh…I’m so glad you enjoy them and thank you so much! 🥰🥰

[@ronkeabiodun6871]

Beautiful hair and great routine. Quick question - since the deep conditioner doesn’t go on the scalp, how does adding the peppermint oil to the conditioner help growth?

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Thank you! Good question and something I forgot to mention. I usually apply/massage the conditioner onto my scalp, so that way you can feel the tingling session. I actually showed this process in my last washday video. The links in the description box, if you’d like to check it out.

[@appiahmcbrown626]

Yes this is the method I always use, thanks for sharing, I now know am doing something right.🌹

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Good to hear and you’re welcome 🤗

[@tintamanengu]

Love this, it's a lot of work considering how much hair you have, I did a short wash day video too and I and my short hair are tired, but I plan to make it a weekly thing so, we keep going. Great video.

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Thank you! The process is slightly longer because I’m doing each section separately, but it doesn’t feel that long at the time. I mean my washdays have been taking under 3 hours these days, so it looks like I’m doing something right 😄

[@tonyawalker6874]

Thinking about doing less sections for both of my 12year old twin daughters…who want to shampoo their hair in the shower. I usually will do a comb through conditioner after a clarifying and moisturizing shampoo. I use the black owned/Inashi Naturals hair line and love all their products!! The gentle mint shampoo/Soothing Mint conditioner🔥I follow with a deep conditioner…that I need to do more of but will keep the twists in and rinse the dc out in twists. Lastly, follow up with a leave in and another sealant to air dry. Just trying to avoid all the twisting…untwisting and being in the shower so long. Thx, for the video!

[@mzondwasejane7911]

I like your technique, I try to keep my hair in a twist at al times if it’s not styled to wear. I use the Tyce Pro Conditioner Heat Cap by Red when deep conditioning my hair. Thanks for sharing 💕 God Bless!

[@HealthyAfroHair]

You’re welcome! Yeah twists keeps my hair stretched and easier to manage when I’m ready to style 👌🏾 Is your conditioning cap any good? I’ve not heard of this one before, but will check it out. Thanks for sharing 💛

@@HealthyAfroHair yes it’s excellent, I use to sit under a dryer but I prefer the cap more.

I have also started washing my hair in section since my hair past neck length. But I always have a special section for my crown as it used to tend to break a lot. Not anymore. I put my hair in sections but not twists bantu knots instead.

Ahh…ok, that’s another interesting way to wash your hair and it’s good that you managed to find a solution to the breakage around your crown. Thanks for sharing!

Loving this routine, might give it a go, just one question, is any reason you don't use a leave in conditioner?. I use a hot head conditioning cap, gives me loads of flexibility and the end result is good 👍🏾

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Great! 👌🏾 Hope my routine works well for you. There’s no particularly reason and I’ve used some good leave-ins in the past, but prefer to use the Aunt Jackie’s product because it’s very moisturising and my hair loves it. Also it cuts down on the amount of different products used as well. Thanks for sharing deets on your conditioning cap too 🙏🏾

[@jamirishmama]

Hi Julie, been following you for years and I've used many of your tips and products. For sure you've been using the Ors conditioner for years 😅, I have too but for a while I couldn't find it on the market. I recently move to Europe from the Caribbean and already I've bought it and the bands from your Amazon store 😊. My questions are: 1. Do you detangle before you wash? I often have my hair in corn rows and when I pull out before I wash it's in crimples. 2. I have lots of gray hair, I know you don't but at what stage would you dye hair? 3. What headbands do you pull on if you are going out with hair twisted? Please add link?

[@craigw.2471]

Great video. How many times do you wash your hair in a session?

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Thank you! I only shampoo once, unless there’s lots of product build up.

[@kenyajanelle4225]

Wow your hair is so beautiful. I am currently on yt looking for ways to properly protect my natural hair after continuin to blow dry my hair for the past 4 years after washing it, I'm starting to feel like my hair is damaged my ends have no curl or definition to them at all and my roots are so frizzy idk what to do. I originally have/had a 4b high porosity hair type which is also as soft as cotton (hence where I went wrong blow drying my hair all that time) and I don't want to cut my hair off I just want it to go back to it original state so I can grow it the right way.

[@kenyajanelle4225]

And if anyone has any solutions please let me know 🙏🙂

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Thank you! Unfortunately, you can’t repair heat damage, so the only option is to cut it. But if you don’t want to cut it right now, then you can always continue to grow it out until you’ve reached a length your happy with. But in the meantime, just ensure you carry out regular moisturising & protein conditioning treatments to ensure you keep the new growth nice and healthy. Alternatively, you can also wear protective styles from time to time to help you through the process.

[@vl4986]

Hi I Wonder if you put conditioner after deep conditioning? Alot of hairdresser says so but I dont know if it mostly for white hair?

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Hey, I wouldn’t really see the point of adding it after when the hair has already been deep conditioned. Unless you meant a leave-in conditioner?!

[@zikaninyangulu625]

Hie julie I noticed on the moisturizing part you just detangled and you did not do any lco method is that how you moisturize by just detangling and air dry? Or you apply oils after air drying? Please answer me as I am to wash my hair today,I could grab a tip,thanks!

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Hey! Yes, sometimes I’ll just moisturise and go. But if my hair feels like it needs an added layer to help lock in the moisture, then I’ll add oils. So just do what you feel your hair needs at the time! Enjoy washday 🤗🤗

Great Video Julie 👍🏽 I also wash in sections-5 of them. I’m going to try using hair bands so my twist don’t unravel. Instead of using plastic wrap-so expensive, I purchase cheap disposable shower caps from China (100 for $2) and use them during deep conditioning. Thanks for the wonderful wash day. Do you ever use a detangle brush? I’ve been thinking about buying the tangle teaser for thick & curly hair???

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Thanks so much. I’m glad you enjoyed it! 🤗 Yes, if you try the bands let me know how you find it. I’ve been loving it. I’ve tried the smaller tangle teezer brushes that fit into the palm of the hand, but that only works when I’ve fully detangled beforehand with another comb. Other than that, my hair just doesn’t glide through it 😩 I guess it’s just not for me or I’m doing something wrong 🤷🏾‍♀️
