00:00Hey nationally curly world, I'm Alexandra and today I'm going to share with y'all my wash day
00:04routine plus how I get defined poppin' curls. As you can see I am in need of a wash so I'm about
00:14to start with a shampoo. What this is is the Riojo Scalp Revival Shampoo. My scalp has been so dry
00:21and so flaky and I've been using a ton of products this week so my scalp really needs to be cleansed.
00:27Okay so I just wet my hair and I really want to tell y'all about this shampoo because it is the
00:32truth and what's really cool about this is that it's a scalp scrub. So as you can see the consistency
00:38is a little runny so be careful with that. You really don't need too much. Just grab some with
00:45your fingertips and then massage it through your scalp. So this is really good for exfoliating your
00:50scalp also helping with really dry and flaky scalp which I am definitely suffering from right now.
00:56So you'll just work this through your scalp and then really massage your scalp which feels so
01:02good. It has this really refreshing peppermint smell and it makes your scalp tingle and feel
01:08really good. I usually let this sit for about 10 minutes after I massage so I think my scalp is
01:15saturated so I will let this sit for 10 minutes and then I'll rinse it out. Okay y'all so I'm back
01:21and I have rinsed out the scalp conditioner feeling so fresh and so clean. I will say it does have my
01:29hair feel a little stripped so it's really important that I get that moisture back into my hair. So since
01:35my hair is still wet I'm going to go ahead and condition with the Innersense Hydrating Cream
01:39Conditioner and y'all this is everything. It is so creamy and so moisturizing. Definitely try it out if you
01:47haven't already. Oh it smells so good. So now that I've raked it through it is all throughout my hair
01:56I'm gonna let it sit and wash it out and I'll be back. Okay so I am back from rinsing out my conditioner
02:02and I am just drying off with this microfiber towel. I didn't really think that drying with a regular
02:12towel and a microfiber towel actually made a difference until recently and it changed my
02:17life y'all. Another fave of mine is the Briogeo Scalp Revival and this is charcoal and teachery scalp
02:23treatment and it's a little dropper and it's pretty easy to apply. I used to take about four drops
02:30and apply it throughout my scalp before I even apply anything else. Okay so once that is done
02:39I now detangle and y'all already know Kinky Curly Knot Today is like the holy grail of holy grails.
02:50This is definitely a staple in my routine
02:53and it's a great leave-in too. So also y'all I know everybody raves about denim and brushes
03:02but this brush right here from Curly Hair Solutions is everything I use it when I'm actually
03:08in the shower and I'm raking through my shampoo conditioner but also it's really important
03:14too for detangling afterwards. It's really soft on my hair not too rough and it really helps with
03:21detangling. Plus it gives me really good curl definition which is key. I'm growing my hair out
03:29from a pixie cut and y'all I am definitely in the awkward stage so all of y'all out there who just
03:39cut your hair growing out the TWA I feel you girl. For my styling I first use a mousse and then a gel
03:48and I do some finger coils and I'm out the dough like it's simple. Now that it's detangled I'm going to
03:54add my mousse and then rake it through. Oh this smells so good. It's the almond and avocado mousse
04:04from Design Essentials. For the longest I was applying way too much product in my hair and I
04:12have learned that less is more especially I don't have that much hair right now so obviously I don't
04:17need to use too much. So yeah now that it's all raked through I am going to apply some gel
04:23and this is the Camille Rose Curl Maker Gel y'all. This is everything like from the smell to the
04:32consistency to the hold like she did that. And I've noticed that finger detangling is cool but to get
04:40that real good curl definition this brush comes in handy. As I mentioned using that brush definitely
04:49gives me really defined curls but if I want to want them to look even more defined my go-to method is
04:56finger coils and I don't have to finger coil my entire head just a few here and there just to add
05:01some more definition.
05:08Okay so I will let my hair air dry and then I'll be back. Okay so my hair is dry and y'all I said I
05:19wasn't gonna finger curl my entire head and I got started I just couldn't stop. So one head and
05:25finger coiled my hair now I'm gonna undo them and then fluff. So right now my hair is really it looks
05:33really defined um but I really want some more volume up top so picking it out definitely gives
05:40me the look that I want and it really does wonders. I do not leave home without my pick like purse
05:48backpack and car this goes everywhere with me um and I really can tell the difference when I pick
05:55it out it just it gives me that little that I'm really looking for. So this is my final look
06:00curls are popping they are bouncy they're defined
06:05and they're moisturized. So I want to know what is your wash day routine be sure to let me know in
