This wash day I decided to give the Ojon gift pack I received for Xmas another go .  This was about the third time I’ve used it. First up was the Restorative Mask.  As directed I covered my hair with the restorative mask and combed through for even distribution.  Since I was busy, that stayed on for about 9-10 hours while I got some work done. I then shampooed with the Hydrating Shampoo about 3 times (my hair felt very coated) before using the Hydrating Conditioner.  The conditioner did a good job of softening some of the stripping I received from the shampoo.  Nothing like Kenra, but...

Last wash day I focused on eliminating the excessive shedding that had plagued me over the last few weeks.  After prepooing with coconut oil overnight and leaving it in until the evening time, I gave my hair a good wash.  First I lathered with some Head & Shoulders Smooth & Silky Dandruff Shampoo to help curb the itchies I was experiencing.  Let that sit on my hair for a few minutes then rinsed and lathered again with Kenra Moisturizing Shampoo.  Once all the shampoo was rinsed it was time for a little Kenra MC to detangle.  I usually try to detangle before any kind of protein condish...

Uggghhhh…moisturfuse ooh moisturfuse ooh moisturfuse; protein….ooh protein…ooh protein.  What’s with this tumultuous love affair??? Last wash day I incorporated some protein. Seems reasonable right? I normally do a light protein treatment weekly (for 3 mins or so) to avoid having to do heavy protein treatments (I hate how hard they leave my hair). I pre-pooed with my concoction from this post; shampooed with Giovanni 50:50 (I still think this shampoo is too stripping for me); and then applied the Aphogee 2-min. After rinsing the Aphogee, my hair felt ok, not super...
