number one thing which I stopped doing to my natural hair is I stopped washing our hair on a weekly basis now that is something which is so so big for us in 2016 I was diagnosed with traction alopecia and alopecia area so I decided to stop using chemicals stop using heat and I went natural and using natural organic ingredients I was able to grow my hair back out and I was also able to grow Sonia hair out now this is the routine that I created and I used that routine Faithfully for five years I will wash our hair every week I mean every week now for me to be able to stop doing that it wasn't easy at the beginning at the beginning when I decided to adjust that just after one week my hair will itch a lot because my hair got so used to it it knows that after seven days after six days late into seven days it's gonna get all that natural nutrients environments into my scalp into my hair follicles now for me to adjust it not washing my hair on a weekly basis my hair couldn't stand it the first time I started incorporating that into our routine my hair will itch like crazy I will have to go back and watch my hair but little by little mouse cap started to adjust to it it started to become a little bit bearable so nowadays I wash our hair every two weeks our scalp have adjusted to it it is fine now washing my hair twice a month is now working very great for my lifestyle and my schedule around work because back then it was only Sonia and I now Aurora also added to a wishes you two dollars is fun Aurora also added to it so it's not three heads of hair that I have to wash and doing that on a weekly basis it just became too too much and too stressful for me the day we get to wash our hair I make sure that I'm doing everything that is needed to be done because I know that we wouldn't be washing our hair again after two weeks so I make sure I don't skip deep condition at all that's one thing which is very very important because if we are not washing our hair on a weekly basis we need our hair to stay moisturized so that it doesn't break off and skipping deep condition is not it's not part of our routine I have to make sure that we deep condition our hair very properly now if washing your hair once a week it works great for you then I would recommend that you stay with it it is amazing it worked great for us for five years but five years fast forward it just became too much for me so I had to do things still work around our lifestyle I know more take three days or plus to plan arrange make and watch out here yes it was a whole text being that I love to create our DIY ingredients and I make sure that when I create that ingredient I love it to be fresh and then just use it right there I don't like to keep it in the freezer that's something that I never did during our whole five years of doing that routine so coming on to our wash day I'm already washing our hair once a week now taking three days to plan gather those ingredients together and make it it just became a whole text washing our hair and preparing these ingredients became a whole text just imagine it's only seven days so if I'm taking three days to plant gather all of these ingredients by the time I'm done washing our hair I'm getting ready again to start preparing and planning things to get another wash day so touch is speaking way too much and I used to create my own shampoo my own conditioner my own purple treatment my own deep condition my own living my own spirit and looking back at that I'm like wow I have a lot of patience and I'm ready to tell me when I put my mind to doing something and I did it so luckily I have my own products learn now I know all the ingredients are clean and natural so because of that it just cut our wash day into nothing I got our shampoo right on hand I got our conditioner I got our treatment mask I got our leave-in conditioner I don't have to go through all of that struggle again nowadays I just make one DIY ingredients like a purple treatment or if I want to use something like an ayurvedic herbs I also just do one DIY or if I want to create a hebrity that we will use in between the week when we are not washing our hair because I still keep our hair moisturized well for daily sprays or I spray our hair every two or three days so I only create one or two in DIY ingredients now and I just make my life so so easy and I'm not able to enjoy my hair more the third thing I started doing to my hair I don't do it to the girls hair I started doing the greenhouse effect for those of you who don't know what the greenhouse effect is it's just covering your hair with a shower cap at night and then putting your Bonnet over it with that you are trapping in a lot of heat which will keep your hair moisturized now doing this greenhouse effect I make sure I don't do it on the first week because the first week my hair is already moisturized I don't have to do anything to my hair but I noticed that the second week my hair is starting to get dry now for me to be able to put that moisture back into my hair I don't want to take my hair down to play with it so because of that I cover my hair with a shower cap in the night in the morning when I take it out my hair is soft and moisturized now there's a good and bad to using this greenhouse effect I would recommend don't overdo it try doing it like a week before you know you are coming to wash your hair because trapping in that heat you're giving your hair a lot lot of moisture if you overdo it your hair will get moisture overload if you have low porosity then I recommend you only do this even three days or four days before you wash the routine yeah so this is something new that I incorporated into my hair routine and it is just saving my hair like my hair doesn't get dry my hair doesn't feel better and just hard so my hair is moisturized for two weeks and then I know that I'm going to wash my hair about with three and just just works so so great if you don't know what the greenhouse effect is you can Google it for you to learn more about it but I'm loving it and if you give it a try let me know what you think about it nowadays I leave my hair alone and give my hair a break personally I am having unprotected style my hair is very down on all of this week after my wash day I make sure I moisturize my hair properly and I put my hair in protective style and I leave my hair in between my wash there I got my daily sprays I make up daily sprays and all I have to do is just spray my hair and walk out the door I don't have to take my hair down that costs a lot of manipulation and constant manipulation to our hair is very very bad for our hair so this matter I noticed that it works so great for me I'm able to retain length if you are familiar with my channel you know that when I did my first silk purse after five years we caught up a lot of hair because my Ants needed to go that's something which I know it needed to go so I lost a lot of length and now for me to be able to get back to where I am in less than a year I can say I've already grown about four inches five inches already in a year it's not even gone yet that means I am retaining a lot of length and all thanks to protective style and just leaving my hair alone okay family so this is my new hair routine and this is my new length retention secret if you guys are interested in me just
