I'm finding that I tend to get very lazy on wash day because I know how long it will take me (5-6 hours) to wash my hair. I typically wash on Saturday because I can't wash Sunday because of church.
I prepoo w/ Dabur Alma Oil Gold and Conditioner or w/ EVOO and conditioner - 1 hour
Wash with Keracare Moisturizing Shampoo while I shower - 20 min
Deep condition with Keracare Humecto, EVOO and Vatika Oil - under dryer - 30 min
Cold Rinse and Rollerset hair (lacio-lacio, chi, silk infusion and a lil vatika oil) - 45 min - 1 hour to rollerset (I TOTALLY SUCK AT THIS - It takes me FOREVER).
Sit under hood dryer - 1.5 hours
Flat iron hair with Sedu ( My hair never comes out flat I always have some poof - Again, I'm just a mess at rollersetting). - 45 min.
These are approximate times but you get the point. It just takes too long and I get lazy and try to cut corners. To make matters worse on days in which I do a protein treatment in before the deep conditioner add another 30 min. This causes me to be lazy and wait longer between washes or I'm skipping the protein treatment altogether.
I don't like airdrying because my hair simply hates it. It never comes out right and by midweek my airdried ponytail or bun is bone dry. Not to mention my SO is growing to hate wash days. Last week it was so bad he woke me up at 7am on wash day so that "I wouldn't take all day with all the washing ish."
So what do you ladies do to shorten your wash days?
