My Summer Regimen

This summer promises to be hot and sometimes stormy here in my neck of the woods. We've already had several thunderstorms and a tornado touched down just the other day. OK, so how does weather affect my styling plans? I plan to continue cleansing, conditioning, and moisturizing. That part hasn't changed at all. However, I have decided to go back to rotating my shampoo bars as my hair dictates whether it needs extra moisture or cleansing. Like other people in my profession (I am a teacher) I have a summer job working with students. This means that I don't have enormous amounts of time to do my hair.

My Summer Hair Regimen

• Henna Treatment--3-4 more times during the summer to get a deeper auburn hue
• Cleanse my hair every week with a Chagrin Valley shampoo bar.
• Condition with first a rinse out conditioner then a deep conditioner.
• Apply my leave-in to soaking wet hair and air dry. 
• Then, style my hair in two strand twists or braids. 
• Do pin updos, twists, and buns for protective styling. 
• Every day I will spritz with my homemade spritz to moisturize and every week I will oil my scalp with Jamaican Pimento oil.
