Maintaining hairstyles

A. Fully hair out styles or partially hair out styles (3/4, 1/2) - short lasting styles (1 to 2 weeks)

1. Night time routine

Sleep on a satin/silk pillow case and/or wear a satin/silk bonnet/scarf. 

Use the pineapple/high ponytail method or the banding method to stretch your hair if needed.

2. Re-moisturization routine

Use LO, LCO or LOC methods accordingly.

LO method is recommended if you are not re-styling but only re-moisturizing.

B. Hair fully plaited/braided styles - longer lasting styles (2 to 4 or 8 weeks)

1. Night time routine

Sleep on a satin/silk pillow case and/or wear a satin/silk bonnet/scarf. 

Use the pineapple/high ponytail method if needed.

2. Re-moisturization routine

LO method is recommended. In fact, your hair is already styled so you don't need any cream/stylers.

3. Wash day on plaited/braided hair

If your hair style is going to last more than your regular wash day schedule, proceed to wash day on your plaited/braided hair.

You can skip the pre-poo step or proceed to a very light pre-poo since you are not going to detangle your hair.

You can also skip the deep conditioning step if you are wearing extensions but then you have to at least condition your hair with a regular conditioner instead. 

Note that in a regular wash day, you either condition and deep condition your hair or you skip the regular conditioner step and go straight to deep conditioning. 

To summarize, when your hair is plaited/braided, you can condition and deep condition, you can only deep condition or you can only condition if you have a protective style in with extensions because ain't nobody gonna deep condition fake hair. I mean you still can but... why? Them extensions are protecting your hair from drying out as well so...

Moisturize your hair using the LO method since your hair is already styled.

Novembre 2023 - Planning Journée, Activités, Suivi Scolaire, Choix Métier, Cycle de la Vie

Planning Journée, Activités, Suivi Scolaire, Choix Métier, Cycle de la Vie FR (French) Planning Journée Une journée c'est 24 heures pour tout le monde. Qu'est-ce qui fait donc la différence? L'organisation, l'environnement, les méthodes de travail, les capacités de chacun, ce que l'on fait (ou ce que l'on est capable de faire) . Ainsi, planifier notre journée est très importante. Bien sûr, tous les jours ne seront pas identiques mais doivent avoir un "modèle" plutôt similaire. En effet, chaque jour, tout le monde a besoin de dormir (suffisamment), de manger (aussi sainement que possible) et aussi d'être actif (manuellement et intellectuellement). Dormir (8h à 10h), Manger (2h) et Bouger (2h) ou se Déplacer un minimum prennent environ déjà la moitié de la journée. Il ne nous reste donc en réalité qu'environ 12 heures à exploiter réellement.    Matin : 4h (8:00-12:00)  Midi : 2h (12:00-14:00) Après-midi : 2h à 4h (14:00-16:00) (16:0...

Novembre 2023 - Day Planning, Activities, School Follow Up, Profession Choice, Life Cycle

Day Planning, Activities, School Follow Up, Profession Choice, Life Cycle     EN (English) Day Planning A day has 24 hours for everyone. So what makes the difference? The organisation or schedule, the environment, the working methods, our own capacities, what we do (or are able to do). So, planning our day is very important. Of course, all of our days are not going to be identical but they should have a pretty similar "model". Indeed, every day, everyone need to sleep (enough), to eat (as healthy as possible) and also to be active (manually and intellectually). Sleeping (8h to 10h), eating (2h) and moving (2h) a little take already almost half of the day. It remains then around 12 hours at our disposal to really capitalize. Morning : 4h (8:00-12:00)  Noon : 2h (12:00-14:00) Afternoon : 2h to 4h (14:00-16:00) (16:00-18:00) Evening : 2h to 4h (18:00-20:00) (20:00-22:00)   Moreover, week-ends are different from regular days, holidays are different ...
