Low Porosity Wash Day | Updated Curly Girl Method Routine | Summer |

This *updated* LOW POROSITY wash day routine includes some tweaks made for humid summertime weather. I have added a few tools to my bag including a mixing bowl and the use of the Bonnet Hair Dryer to save some backbreaking while diffusing! While this is arriving late for our northern hemispheric curlies, it's right on time for our southern hemispheric friends.

Wash Day Routine for my Low Porosity Hair
Here are all the steps:

Pre-poo with oils of your choice. I used a mix of Jojoba, Sweet Almond, and Avocado that I mixed myself. Apply heat or leave on overnight (or both!) ***This is new/different!***

Wash or Co-wash, scrubbing well (I used DevaCurl Buildup Buster and No Poo Original)
Rinse and wring out excess water

Apply Olaplex 3 to damp hair and comb through. Cover for 10 minutes to several hours.
Rinse if desired, or skip straight to deep condition if still wet. ***This is different!***

Apply deep conditioner with heat (I used a random Shea Moisture in a packet)

Apply heat with a heat cap like Hot Head (www.thermalhaircare.com/ - mine is XL)

Rinse - leaving a little slip

Apply a light leave in such as Curls Blueberry Bliss leave in (contains protein) or Kinky Curly Knot Today (no protein). Comb through with fingers to distribute or use a wide tooth comb or Denman brush. Squeeze over the BOWL to catch water and dip ends in to even the product distribution and help with clumps.
***This is new/different!***

Plop for 5-10 min to remove excess water and support your curl formation

Apply Uncle Funky's Curly Magic* w/ Praying hands (www.unclefunkysdaughter.com)
*I use 4 pumps per section and added Neutral Protein Filler in the palm of my hand*

Distribute products and smooth hair with a Denman Brush. Squeeze over the BOWL to catch water and dip ends in to even the product distribution and help with clumps.
Add a bit of water to the bowl and swish if you need more that what is coming out of your hair.

Plop again - WITH HEAT (10-15 min or until cap is mostly cool)

Apply gel with praying hands (I used Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat Humidity Gel which is similar to the Alcohol Free Defining Gel by Bioterra, available at Sally's).

Scrunch scruch scrunch - all the way up to the roots. Keep your hands wet/slippery.
Squeeze over the BOWL to catch water and dip ends in to even the product distribution and help with clumps.

Remove excess water with a tee shirt, smooth microfiber towel, or a baby receiving blanket

Plop into a triangle mesh net or stick your head directly into the bonnet dryer upside down. ***This is different!*** Note: If you are not using the mesh net, turn on your dryer before returning to an upright position.

Diffuse as long as you can stand it ;)

Apply GVP volumizing root lifter, if desired

Clip Roots

Diffuse or air dry until absolutely fully dry at the roots

Clap out the crunch

Tame frizzies or wild hairs with lube (I used LuLu) or a light oil (like Argan)

Enjoy your beautiful hair!
