Hello lovelies,

I am back with another curly hair blog for my natural hair sisters! This week I wanted to chat about maintaining your wash and go. Now, you did all this work but then don’t know how to maintain it throughout the week. I will share with you my tips and tricks on how I keep my curls fresh throughout the week without having to wash my hair again. The picture below is my 7 day curls!!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT??! 7 DAYS POST WASH AND GO! Using the right product and tools is so important!

1. The first thing you want to invest in is a satin bonnet! If you are a natural sister and you do not own one of these….SIS!!! WHAT IS YOU DOING??!! LOL!! These are sooooo vital to maintaining your curls. Without this my hair becomes very dry and brittle as your cotton sheets will strip all the moisture from your curls. Please don’t do it sisssss! Do not lay your precious curls on a cotton pillow case! Get you a satin bonnet or satin pillow case.

2. Now before I put on my satin bonnet, I will lift my hair up into a pineapple so my curls wont be all over the place. This helps preserve your curls. All you are doing is picking up all of your hair and doing a very high loose ponytail. I use hair ties that will not leave marks on my hair and I do not tighten the hair ties. I usually use new hair ties since they still have their form and are tight.

3.  Get a good ol’ handy dandy spray bottle. I will fill it up with water and refresh my curls every morning. Just a few spritz where ever I see very dry curls or curls that have lost their shape.

4 Lastly, I use the hair products that I mentioned on my blog post Updated Curly Natural Hair Tips and Tricks. Just a little bit though to add moisture to my curls. Remember you already have all the product from your wash and go so just a little bit is all you need. At this point you can also use your fingers to coil any curls that are a bit straight. I also add a bit of coconut oil if I notice my hair is really dry.

This is it y’all! The most important step it the satin bonnet or pillow case. This is what really preserves your curls. Make sure to do these steps daily and you will see how your curls will last you more days than usual.  Hope you enjoyed this blog! Please comment and don’t forget to subscribe!
