Betonite Clay for Hair- Wash Day!

Hey!

My wash day was actually Saturday and I used the betonite clay in this weeks regimen.

I started off with a hot oil treatment that was left on my hair overnight (friday). On Saturday, I added the clay mix to my hair without rinsing the oil.

Clay Mix:

betonite clay
almond milk (just enough to make it pasty)
olive oil (tiny amount)

I left it on my hair for about 1/2 hour and I did my clay facial in the last ten minutes of the "hair time" (I'm not gonna show the face part lol).
 I rinsed it out, which I may add, was not an easy task. It felt like there was clay left back every time I assumed I was finished.  I continued anyway and applied conditioner, I figured that while rinsing the conditioner it would rinse out in the process. I used Mane 'N Tail Conditioner and followed that with the Roux porosity and ORS Replenishing Conditioner mix.  I rinsed that after 45 minutes and then added my leave-ins and oils and left it to air dry.

It was a simple addition to my weekly routine but It took way more time than I wanted. I'm not sure if my hair feels way better or not. I just know that it felt clean but not dry, which is always good. I will do it again though because I never totally write off anything I'm unsure of. One more use should determine if I continue using it.

This was a complete FAIL!

So last night broke my no heat rule...yup I flat ironed my hair. I did it because frankly I hate detangling my hair, especially when it is 11 weeks post. I figured flat ironing it would make it easier to style since I have a full class schedule and dealing with my hair isn't a big priority till I settle into my new routine.

But...that turned out to be a complete waste of time and energy :(

Here's why:

This was during the process

and the end ...

Then the next morning I decided to go to the cafeteria for breakfast and then it rained.

 I used to check the weather in previous semesters but then I went home and got used to the Caribbean thing of not checking weather updates.

 (I have clothes on)

and ended up looking like this on the way back to me room.

I even wore a dress to breakfast...Fail!

So I'm back at my dorm room waiting for my next class, and I guess my hair will be back in a bun. I just can't believe I put direct heat on my hair for no reason, at least I used heat protectant.
