so a few weeks ago i finally got around
0:03
to recording a wash day i set up my
0:05
camera equipment had my lights
0:08
was you know all suited it's ready to
0:10
bring you guys
0:12
my wash day that i finally got down
0:14
packed after nine months of you know
0:18
kind of going through this third day
0:19
hair detox no brothers no oils challenge
0:22
but of course because the cameras were
0:24
rolling things didn't go as i had
0:26
initially planned
0:28
and
0:29
it was okay
0:31
so if you're nervous about you know
0:33
doing a wash day correctly
0:35
this video is for you because it just
0:36
takes some time some practice and once
0:39
you have a technique down you can even
0:41
work through
0:43
the unexpected i accidentally i didn't
0:48
there's a wash day secret in here that
0:50
i've seen on stylish channels that i
0:53
don't think i've ever seen on the
0:54
influencer channel and it's probably
0:56
fine for like 80 85 people out here but
0:59
i'm gonna make sure that when that part
1:01
comes up i'll put the disclaimer in
1:03
there
1:04
so that this is a beneficial hack if you
1:07
need it um but you stay away from it if
1:09
it could you know if it's not meant for
1:11
you all right so let's get started um so
1:14
i was trying to do a clarifying wash day
1:17
leading up to this i had
1:20
done like the hair paint color i had
1:23
done like a roller set so i had deviated
1:25
some from
1:26
my typical
1:28
botanical gels and you know wash and go
1:30
type stuff
1:32
so i was ready to clarify
1:34
and i got in the shower
1:36
and i grabbed
1:39
innocence hydrating cream hair bath
1:42
i haven't used that shampoo in months
1:45
number one it's not a clarifier
1:48
and number two i had just been using um
1:51
the pure o shampoo that my stylist had
1:54
recommended for me nine months ago
1:56
that's what i use most of the time but
1:57
to clarify i had been using a giovanni
2:01
giovanni direct tea tree
2:03
and i was using that just because that's
2:05
what i had in my house when i started
2:06
this whole challenge and i was like i'm
2:08
going to use that until i'm done and
2:09
then i might look into
2:11
you know something else
2:13
so that was my first mistake i was i was
2:15
intending to do a clarifying wash day
2:17
and did not bring a clarifying shampoo
2:19
in there
2:21
with me so i just rolled with the
2:23
punches went with that shampoo
2:25
but then i spotted something else and
2:27
this is the salon secret that i hadn't
2:29
used in a while this is um a hard water
2:32
treatment
2:33
and
2:34
what that does is remove mineral buildup
2:37
from your hair so it is a
2:39
type of clarifying treatment now for
2:41
most people
2:42
it's no big deal
2:44
and looking at some of the reviews of
2:46
this product
2:47
it can be tricky with color treated hair
2:50
some people said it improved their color
2:53
but other people said it dulled their
2:56
color so if you have color in your hair
2:59
it's best to talk to your colorist about
3:01
using
3:02
this hard-boiled treatment because there
3:04
is a mineral component component in some
3:07
colors and so if you removing mineral
3:09
buildup you might be removing your
3:10
colors so this was just something that
3:12
you should talk about
3:13
with your stylist
3:15
um or colorist and the other thing
3:17
that's a warning about not using it on
3:20
non-pigmented white hair
3:22
um
3:23
as you can see i don't know if it counts
3:24
as uh white hair but i definitely have
3:27
grays
3:28
and i've used this treatment several
3:30
times without any issue but it is a
3:33
warning on there that you shouldn't use
3:35
it on non-pigmented white hair i
3:37
wouldn't consider my hair non-pigmented
3:39
white hair but i definitely have grades
3:41
and i was good to go
3:42
and i guess the other disclaimer is i've
3:46
been using this
3:48
for about two years
3:50
and the way i would use it is only
3:52
like three or four times a year so much
3:55
every three to four months it's not
3:57
something that i use on a routine basis
3:59
it's not something
4:00
that i think anyone really needs well
4:02
i'm not gonna say that
4:03
unless your stylist tells you to or
4:05
somebody else you know unless you have
4:07
like really hard work in your area it's
4:08
probably not something that needs to get
4:09
done
4:10
on a
4:11
regular basis
4:13
okay
4:14
so what is this hardware treatment
4:16
it's a packet of like white powder and
4:20
when you put the white powder in your
4:21
hand
4:22
um it starts to foam up kind of similar
4:25
to a shampoo
4:26
and then you take that and you know
4:28
distribute it all through your hair i
4:30
don't put on my scalp because i don't
4:31
want to risk having any irritation so i
4:34
just try to do it from mids up to the
4:37
root but i don't
4:38
rub it into my scalp so i put it in
4:41
so i'll go ahead work it through and
4:43
then i go ahead and rinse it out
4:46
now
4:48
like i said i don't think i've ever seen
4:50
a wash day i don't watch that many wash
4:52
days on youtube but the ones i have seen
4:54
i don't think i've ever seen anybody use
4:56
this hardware treatment i have seen
4:58
stylists like try to do this low key
5:01
when they're doing um curly sets and
5:03
i've seen it on like tight curls and
5:05
loose curls so
5:07
it's definitely something that some is
5:09
without in the salon so it's a salon
5:11
secret
5:12
that you should use
5:14
so it's a salon secret that can be used
5:17
occasionally
5:18
to remove
5:19
mineral buildup
5:21
from your hair if you have hard water
5:25
and that's all i'm going to say about
5:26
that
5:27
so i did a
5:29
i ended up using the
5:31
anderson's hydrating cream hair bath to
5:33
do a moisturizing shampoo then i went
5:35
ahead and used the
5:37
hard water treatment
5:39
i followed directions on the back of the
5:41
hardware treatment which says shampoo
5:44
hard water treatment
5:45
conditioner
5:47
there's also a note on the back of there
5:49
that like if you're using a chemical
5:51
treatment in conjunction with this like
5:53
you should shampoo and condition again
5:55
i do that because i'm not using the
5:56
chemical treatment um so after i rinsed
5:58
out the hard water treatment
6:01
i went in with my conditioner i have
6:04
been using i ran out of my pure o
6:07
conditioner and i have been using the
6:10
oyen handmade conditioner and i like
6:12
this conditioner it doesn't like froth
6:15
up like that other conditioner that's
6:16
popular with some of the people that do
6:18
the 30 day hair detox but it's like it's
6:21
easier for me to detangle with this
6:23
shampoo without having to use half the
6:25
bottle um it's got some nice slip to it
6:28
and
6:30
that was the next step of my step of my
6:31
wash day was the conditioning process so
6:34
i applied the conditioner in sections
6:37
and worked through sections to detangle
6:39
my hair i made sure to add water and
6:42
conditioner as i went through
6:44
and detangled but by this point i was
6:48
like annoyed that my wash day wasn't
6:50
going how i expected to and i also
6:52
didn't want my uh i didn't want to get
6:54
this far and have like my camera or
6:55
light go out of me so i went ahead and
6:58
cut the camera but trust that i added
7:00
plenty of water and conditioner to my
7:02
hair
7:02
and as i went through and detangled
7:06
after i worked the conditioner through i
7:08
rinsed it out thoroughly
7:10
and i was ready for
7:13
applying my base gel
7:16
this didn't go as i planned because i
7:18
actually had switched it up for a while
7:20
trepadora
7:22
bamboo jensen glaze and papaya slip
7:25
have been a part of my routine since
7:28
june 2021
7:31
at the end of 2021
7:33
uh trapadora started going out of stock
7:35
on purpose because they were gonna do a
7:37
rebranding relabeling
7:40
i wanted to experiment with different
7:42
styling products because
7:44
i didn't know how long they were going
7:45
to be out of stock and i wanted to make
7:46
sure that i could get my technique down
7:48
with other products so i had actually
7:50
started using um kinky curly the
7:53
leave-in
7:54
and the
7:55
custard and the application process for
7:57
that is a little different
7:59
so in this wash day i actually had my
8:02
curly magic in the shower with me
8:04
and i hadn't used that in a few weeks so
8:06
i had to go back and i was getting used
8:08
to like how much i had to put in and how
8:10
much product how much water and
8:13
it's not like relearning it all the way
8:15
from the beginning but because i had
8:16
gotten used to using like the kinky
8:18
curly leave-in and the kinky cup curly
8:20
custard
8:21
i just i kept adding product and water
8:23
and it wasn't feeling quite right quote
8:25
unquote right but they feel it the curly
8:27
magic application just feels different
8:29
than the kinky curly application
8:31
so again like
8:33
i recorded most of it but at the same
8:35
time my kids you might be able to see
8:37
the frustration on my face in the video
8:39
i'm overdue for cut so my back the back
8:42
of my hair is doing weird things and not
8:44
really connecting and
8:47
i'm definitely going to film a wash day
8:48
again where i do everything properly
8:52
whoa do everything how i'm going to say
8:54
not right or wrong but do everything how
8:56
i typically do it from start to finish
9:00
or at least to applying the base gel but
9:02
i thought it was still important because
9:04
even though this watch they didn't go
9:05
exactly how i planned and even though i
9:07
didn't use the exact same products that
9:09
i normally use i still had a productive
9:11
wash day
9:12
my hair wasn't you know ruined or
9:14
anything i went along with my week and
9:16
everything was fine if you use too
9:19
strong of a shampoo you can over cleanse
9:21
if you use too weak of a shampoo you can
9:24
end up with product build up
9:25
and all those things like if they happen
9:28
i would just adjust the next wash day so
9:30
if i felt like
9:31
i over cleansed my hair then that
9:33
shampoo is too strong to use the regular
9:34
and i would just use a different shampoo
9:36
so it's about learning
9:38
and adjusting your routine based on what
9:40
you got at the time and what you what
9:43
you feel your hair is telling you it
9:44
needs
9:46
so
9:46
that was my wash day that was a little
9:48
bit different
9:49
and that hard boiler treatment is the
9:51
little secret
9:52
that i use sometimes um well i used to
9:55
use it before the third day here detox
9:56
because i knew i had hard water but i
9:58
didn't want to get a filter
10:00
and even now that i have the filter it
10:02
has a cartridge in it that don't change
10:03
like i should so just a handful of times
10:05
a year sometimes i reach for that that
10:07
uh hardwood treatment
10:09
and even though i didn't plan to do it
10:11
on this wash day it was fine
10:14
and i guess the other announcement i
10:16
have is
10:17
uh the other day in my community tab i
10:19
had asked if people would be interested
10:20
in having another source to purchase
10:23
tropadora products and i have i have
10:25
actually started getting the ball
10:26
rolling on that so i got the shipment of
10:29
triple door products in and i'm going to
10:32
i'm in the process of setting up the
10:33
website and payment portals and if this
10:36
first batch goes well i'll go ahead and
10:38
keep doing it i don't mind i i love
10:40
natural hair i love
10:42
connecting with you guys
10:44
and i don't mind being another source
10:47
for trapadora in the u.s because
10:50
the process of importing it they get it
10:52
here quickly but it's just the flow of
10:54
money is slow
10:56
and that's why a lot of people sell out
10:58
and they're out of it for a while before
10:59
they can get it back in
11:00
so i'm happy to
11:03
step up and try this out so i got the
11:06
uh papaya slip and bamboo jensen glaze i
11:10
received uh a couple of cases of those
11:13
i'm setting up the website setting up
11:15
the payment portals and as soon as that
11:17
goes live i will let you know
11:19
i'm going to leave a link to sign up for
11:20
the email list because i do have limited
11:22
quantity because so i have a limited
11:24
quantity just to test things out make
11:26
sure the website works the shipment
11:28
works and all that so as soon as that
11:31
goes live if you're on my email list you
11:33
will be one of the first ones to know
11:36
so again
11:37
thanks for watching
11:39
and
11:40
i think my next video is going to be me
11:42
actually
11:43
where this one left off so this one left
11:45
off at me applying the base gel
11:48
i will go ahead and do another styling
11:50
video as my next video
