New year, new you! That’s a common theme whenever we embark upon a new year. Yet, while it’s novel, a theme without a plan is useless. My new year, new your is being kicked off with a January monthly hair plan.
Each month this year, I’ll be following a consistent hair care routine using the same products and styling my hair in the same manner throughout each month.
Kicking off the the start of this new year, below you’ll find my January monthly hair plan for my fine natural hair. Feel free to follow along on this journey to healthier, stronger and longer hair.
You can opt to use the same hair products I mention below or you can use your own hair products and just follow along with the method: C-O-N-S-I-S-T-E-N-C-Y.
Consistency with a particular brand of hair products, hair regimen (or routine) you follow will bless you in a couple of ways:
- You’ll discover the products your hair likes (and even loves)
- You’ll be able to see how manufacturers create their products to work in tandem with each other
For January, while I’ll be using products from a few brands, most are pretty generic in nature. So, they will work well together. Therefore, January’s theme is more about the consistency of use. I changed a few products from what I initially planned.
Without further ado, below is January’s monthly hair plan.
January Monthly Hair Plan Routine
Starting with the routine I’ll be following:
- Pre-poo with an oil before each cleanse
- Bi-weekly cleansing (twice this month)
- Deep Conditioning each wash day using my heating cap
- Scalp treatment after washing
- Weekly scalp treatment
- Moisturizing 3x a week
January Hair Products
The products I’ll be using this month to complete my routine:
- Hempseed oil
- Bentonite clay wash
- Paige Marie LLC Deep Conditioner
- Pureauty Advanced Formula Biotin Hair Growth Serum (Citrus Orange)
- Henna Sooq Sweet Mimosa Hair Butter
- Camille Rose Naturals Lavender Crush Defining Gel
The products are listed in the order I’ll use them in the routine. I didn’t pre-poo my first wash of the month but will do so going forward.
I will be using the hempseed oil to pre-poo but also to seal moisture into my hair after rinsing out my deep conditioner AND after spritzing my hair with rose water on the days I moisturize.
Pureauty’s hair growth serum will be used on wash day but also weekly. Biotin is very beneficial for hair growth. It helps to stimulate the production of keratin (a beneficial protein for healthy hair, nails and skin). It can also increase the rate of growth in your follicles.
January Hairstyle
The single hairstyle that I’ll be doing throughout the entire month is a braided bun. I’m going to share the tutorial for this hairstyle over on The Serial Bunner.
