Post Wash & Detox Day

Morning Curlys! So last post I recently expressed me starting a new health week. Sunday started this week for me of course. Which was great since it's also my Wash Day. In the morning after drinking my morning tea, I drank two 16 oz bottles of water in my Mason Jar with sliced cucumbers, oranges, and lemons. The reason I used these fruits and vegetables are for the health benefits they give. 

• Cucumbers-Have a great deal of health benefits for hair, skin, and internal organs. They help reduce the risk of many cancers, help promote urination from your kidneys, and contain dietary fibers which help the elimination of toxins in your body.
• Lemons-Also a Power Fruit, helps boost your immune system. Helps with cleansing your body, and contains many nutrients like Vitamin C and Potassium. Also for is a great aid to losing weight and cutting out the consumption of caffeine. 
• Oranges-Have pretty much the same benefits as Lemons. They help promote weight lost, contains Vitamin C, and with the antioxidants in oranges they help keep the balance in your nutrition. This fruit also helps with the prevention of Cancer. And controls your heartbeat and blood sugar.

Sunday was the only day I drank this water with the cucumbers, but I am still only drinking water with orange and lemon slices. And so far I have not had anything else to drink but water! This is a big deal for me. I can drink water, but of course I prefer other drinks. I read that most people drink more calories than they eat. I definitely believe I am one of these people. So this is the start to a great week!

Now Sunday is also my Wash Day and boy what a Wash Day it was. I detangled with the coconut oil and honey mix that I used on Mackenzie's hair, I also added a bit of Olive Oil to help lock in some moisture. I then washed of course with my cleansing wash. After my regular wash and condition routine. I used Mixed Chicks Deep Conditioner and let it sit for 30 mins. After rinsing, I used my go to Carol's Daughter Leave-In and SheaMoisture's Enhancing Smoothie on my flat twist. I then sealed the ends with the oil mix I made. Needless to say, when I took my hair out in the morning, my hair was super moisturized. I didn't get to take a picture of my flat twist yesterday during my morning rush. But I refreshed this morning and today you can see how much moisture my hair kept.
