STEAM TOWEL WRAP

August 10, 2007


For deep conditioning, I love STEAM TOWEL WRAPS. I use whatever oils and conditioners I want to use and then I apply a plastic cap or saran wrap (I would never use a towel directly on my hair). I then apply a hot towel and then another plastic cap. I leave it on for 15 minutes and then if I feel like it, I re-heat the towel or I may even sit under the dryer. It’s a bad idea to use plastic caps with the elastic bands because they can break off your edges, but I do it anyway because I’m BAD. Actually I roll the edges of the elastic up as you can see from the photos. If not you can look for my “Baggy Method” post.

SECTIONING METHOD

August 2, 2007


Another reason I like to use my applicator brush is because I do everything in sections. It’s easier to detangle my hair this way and also I’m ensuring that I reach every inch of my head when using this method to apply product. I use it for everything. When I get ready for bed I part my hair in these four sections and apply moisturizer, I use the baggy method to baggy my entire head and then in the morning I co-wash in sections and then detangle in sections.
