I tested Silicone Mix for the first time on my natural hair because I’m prepping for a press and I wanted that smooth, detangled finish. I did my research first because low porosity hair can struggle if silicone blocks moisture, so I’m being intentional with it and I’ll clarify properly on the next wash.

“every secondears [Music] Hello guys welcome to my channel Today I'm going to be doing my wash day routine I literally just finished taking my braids out It's about after 7 minutes to 8 now in the night and I'm about to wash my hair You guys know it's about to be long but I really need to wash my hair I It just need a good wash Okay so I decided why not just show you guys my full wash day routine because I had braids in for a while I feel like my hair kind of need like a reset It really need a good cleanse So I'm going to go in and I'm going to use the Alec clay mask I don't know if you guys know about this but I've used this before in my hair and the way it made the curls look so good after I was in awe and I haven't used it in ages So we're going back to basic We're going to like just detox the hair just so it can come back because I feel like I've been using a lot of products in there I've had braids in So it really need a good reset And I'm going to be mixing it with the apple cider vinegar So you kind of need like a wooden spoon to do this So I'm going to use this one that I have I have some mini containers that I put my oven oats in So I'm going to use one of the spoon that comes with it And I'm just going to use my little bowl that I made when I went to pottery Um absolutely make the best use out of this bowl So I'm gonna put some of the Azel clay mask into this and mix it together I'm just going to kind of like eyeball it as well I do have very thick hair so I'm going to eyeball it based off how much I need I'm making a mess guys Oh my gosh Okay I think this should be enough This is what I have in here so far I'm also going to go ahead and eyeball the apple cider vinegar as well So once you put the apple cider vinegar in this if you guys use it before you know it kind of like fra up just a little bit because it's a little bit acidic I think that should be that's that's not enough We're going to just do it as we go And I'm going to use like a a wooden spoon and just mix everything in kind of like a paste consistency I'm definitely going to need more than this I used to use this on my face as well I haven't done it in a while And honestly it makes such a good face mask Literally like cleanse your pores so so well Like you can feel it working as well So if you guys want like a good face mask and you already have this why not just use it for your face and your hair just to kind of like detox things I feel it works so so well This is what we've got going on here And I'm going to just apply it to my hair I haven't washed my hair or anything yet guys I'm just going to apply to my dirty hair and then I'm just going to wash everything out in the shower Going to part my hair into sections I probably should take this top off or grab like a old t-shirt Not an old t-shirt but it's one that I really don't mind getting a little bit of mess on So I've kind of like sectioned the back of my hair Just part I don't You don't really have to worry about how this is parted Just take your finger and part it I'm going to take a little bit of clay I'm just going to use my hands and kind of like just rub this through my hair Make sure I'm getting everywhere Oh I should have probably damp my hair a little bit Yes I need to damp my hair guys So the water is basically um going to just give my give the product something to stick to rather than just sticking to dry hair At least it can get to work a little bit better as well Also this is a very messy job It's already Oh my gosh this is already getting Maybe I should go to the bathroom guys Let's go to the bathroom because this is definitely not working It's messing up my carpet and everything So we should probably stick to the bathroom I'm in my bathroom now So we can make as much mess in a controlled area as we'd like Um I'm just going to apply the products like I said to each section of my hair And I'm just going to work it through [Music] said you needed space Said you needed more time to think so you went away but you still would stay in my dream Now you're back for more All right so I'm done applying the mask to my hair Very messy so I'm going to clean up I'm going to leave this in for a good 30 minutes 20 to 30 minutes and I'm going to hop into the shower wash it out and then complete the rest of the wash day routine My curls you can already see them coming together nicely Like my hair feel like it does feel like it's doing its thing Um can you see that see like they're coming together really really nicely The mask is doing what it's meant to do which is just really good I just absolutely love this mask [Music] Even though my heart just won't leave hurt so badly This is how my curls are looking like I haven't shampooled my hair or anything yet And honestly my curls are looking good and my hair is feeling like I've already conditioned it because of how soft it's feeling My scalp is also feeling really good as well So for my shampoo I'm going to go in with this one from OS It's their creamy aloe deep cleansing shampoo I know I've just cleansed my hair and I probably should use like a moisturizing shampoo at the moment but I want to make sure that I'm getting all the products out So I'm going to use some cleansing shampoo just to kind of like cleanse again [Music] You've been going away You've been going away so long Since you been gone away you've been going away so long I forgot your middle name I forgot your birthday Used to wear col like it in the worst way So for my next shampoo I'm going to go in with this one from Mali and it's their pomegranate and honey moisturizing and detangling shampoo So I'm going to use this one as my second shampoo Whenever I have like braids or any form of protective styling I like to make sure that I cleanse my hair properly Basically just go off how my hair actually is on the day that I'm washing it or what I or the type of style that I had in before um based off how many shampoos or what type of products that I tend to use So I'll definitely say when you're washing your hair just assess it each time And if it's dry or if you have protective styling maybe you want to do like a cleansing shampoo If it's dry maybe you want to do like a moisturizing shampoo I don't think that's not going to really strip your hair as well I love the way this shampoo lathers like so quickly I feel like I don't have to use a lot of it to really get the product in my hair I'm basically raking my finger through the hair And I'm also going to use the product to kind of like massage my scalp And when I'm massaging my scalp using the tip of my finger here I'm not using my nails Just so I'm not like scraping my [Music] scalp 51 days 51 I lost count of all of the weeks I'm about to do like my conditioner and I'm going to show you guys what I'm going to do I haven't used this product before However I am going to be pressing my hair after this which honestly I don't think it's a good idea because I'm going to be going to the gym And as of late since I've changed my gym I tend to do a little bit of swim after my session And I also do steam room and sona So I'm not too sure why I'm going to press out my hair but we're going to do it Um so anyways the product I'm going to be using a silicone mix on my hair This product basically you need to do your research on this I've done some research on this It is my first time using it on my natural hair I've used it on like wigs before and it came out phenomenal It looks so good Um however when I was doing my research on this um when it comes on to low paracity hair like mine that doesn't really hold moisture this product kind of like block moisture from coming into your hair So you have to make sure that you use a lot of moisturizing products before However it also is really good when it comes on to detangling your hair Um letting your hair look like super smooth and it's just really good when you're going to be pressing your hair out That's based off what I've heard I am going to be putting it to the test today So I'll see how it is My hair does feel really soft really hydrated really moisturized at the moment So I'm hoping that this is not going to do any harm to my hair Also it also recommend that whenever you use this whenever you're washing your hair again to make sure that you use a clarifying shampoo so you can really rinse off the silicone So I'm going to follow those steps and I can report back if you guys want me to I can tell you how I like this I also want to show you my products that I use to detangle my hair I love using this combo hair I feel like it just detangled my hair so so well I feel like today is going to be a very easy day though because my hair is pretty much feeling really really good so far So fingers crossed it's a quick one because the detangling part of my wash day routine says so long So hopefully this will kind of like slow things down a little bit But I like using this Y2 comb and I basically just use this side This one is from Tangle Teaser and this is also from Tangle Teaser as well and also interchange with both And I love them Oh yeah this is beautiful Wow this is good Guys you see that my hair never really beats on this good Normally I'm fighting through it but this is good I need to put my sections up similar way Clips are elsewhere I'm just going to pour and then I'm going to apply product and basically just work my way here Now you're back for more Did you find the real may or may not have gone to bed last night with my hair wet Literally I finished so late last night I was like "Yeah I'm going straight to bed I'm not even going to finish my hair”
