We are leaving tomorrow on a 4-night trip to Bangkok. I only wash once a week, so it can be easily assumed that the 4 nights and 5 days will fall somewhere in between my wash schedule. BUT our last night there is a wash night, and I don't compromise my wash nights for anything
. LOL! It's a herbal wash, so I got out a Ziplock bag, stuffed it with 6 tablespoons of my herbal mixture, and put it in my suitcase! Once the mixture is mixed up (which doesn't take more than a minute), it only takes 2-3 more minutes to put it on my hair! Really, my routine is so simple and easy. Less than 5 minutes mixing everything up and putting it on my hair at night, and in the morning all I have to do is rinse out and shampoo my scalp. While I'm there, I'll just shampoo with hotel shampoo - my scalp isn't too fussy, thankfully!
Anyway, the reason I went through the trouble to get a mixture for over there when it's our LAST night in Bangkok that I'll have to wash is because we arrive back the day before school starts. That means I'll have greasy hair ready to wash, but will have to wash that night and have it wet in the morning to school. It'll stay wet all day, and I definitely don't want wet hair in my face all day long when I'm trying to study. Plus it doesn't look very nice while wet because I don't comb it through, and while I never dress UP for school, I don't like to look untidy or unkempt.
So, there we have it. My hair is officially too important for me to skip a wash day. LOL! Oh - that reminds me. I had better pack some shea butter for my face that I can just use on my ends in case they get dry (although they
really aren't even STARTING to get dry after that intense deep conditioning I had!)
Anyway, I'm off to finish packing. It's so exciting going on a trip with the "whole" family (okay, so my brothers won't be there and it'll only be a few extended members of the family on my father's side who I happen to live with anyway...) for once! Whenever I travel it is usually with school or just with my mother. I hope this is going to be fun, and I hope I don't forget my camera!
See you all when I get back!
Love,
