My wash days are like spa days. They take effort, but I usually love them. Face mask while deep conditioning, listening to my fave RUclipsrs while setting my hair, Netflix movie while drying. You are right, once you have figured out the routine that works for you, and pre-arranging products and tools, it becomes much easier.
Love this for you! I’m going to try the Netflix while drying!
Yes! I love this!
I’m going to try doing this today…. It’s washday today and I’m reluctant to start.
@@StyleDomination how often do you wash your hair and flat iron?
Dominique is the type of person we all need in our lives...Shes so sweet 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
LOVE YOU! 💜💜💜💜
If you've been natural before relaxed hair washdays are bliss.
Ain’t that the truth. Lol
You have some cool glasses, and your hair looks amazing. I think some people do so many steps on wash day that it takes an entire day to wash their hair. I don’t believe we need so many steps in order to have healthy hair. Also, leaving the conditioner on for hours when that’s not necessary makes a long wash day. Shampoo, condition, and style should be enough.
I also encourage anyone to get the Dyson tools. I have the blow dryer and the straightener. Those have done wonders for my hair. By the way, I charge my straightener after every use so it can be ready for next time.
I totally agree. I alternate between the Dyson Corralle and ghd Styler. I love that Dyson straightener because it’s cordless!
I’m a natural. I love wash day. I have a simple routine with products my hair loves. I only detangle once (with deep conditioner in my hair in the shower). I also use wash day as a day I deep clean my house, do laundry etc. My hair loves Aussie products and they’re not expensive at all. I do notice the longer my hair gets the longer it takes. I also do my grooming routine -mani pedi and face mask. If your goal is clean healthy hair then wash day should be fun! Love your videos!
Yay! Another Dominique! Haha! I agree. I get a ton of housework done during my wash time too!
I love wash day. Friday nights when the kids are sleeping. I have my routine down - it’s fun.
Awww! I’m hearing a few moms say this is their escape! 👏🏾
@@StyleDomination yes it is 👍🏽
Omg look how long and healthy your hair is, Dom! All of your hard work is paying off.
Thank you!!!! That means so much!
Thanks for recommending Unite 7 second Detangler! My stylist was able to comb through my thick relaxed hair so easily!
Sweetheart you said it all,cos being in a good mood when handling your hair is a plus,l listen to my favourite songs whiles doing my hair and that has helped my wash days and healthy of my hair
That is amazing! That is one of my favourite things - listening to great beats is so fun! That's what I look forward to most! xo
I like videos like this because they remind me how simple my routine has become. Great video ❤️
Your hair is looking absolutely gorgeous 😍
Thank you, babe! I'm really happy with the progress!
It's growing so long and beautiful
You are so awesome and I always feel like I can relate to you. And since using your hair tips my hair was at my neck and now it’s at bra length. You are a beautiful soul. Blessings 🥰🙏🏾
Neko - you are a beautiful soul! This kind comment and your progress makes all this hard work worth it. 💜🥲
She truly has such a beautiful spirit😭her content makes me happy😄
@@StyleDomination aww thank you. 🥰
@@charlinda_is_her_2058 you are so right. ☺️
Hi Dominique,
Do you not still use your EXPENSIVE hair products (e.g. Oribe)? Because of your advice about using the most high end products that I can afford, my hair has thrived so much! I do love and enjoy your vids! Thanks for sharing!
no one else has talked about this. thank you, Dom!
You are so welcome!
I just went from natural to relaxed so I watch all your videos & a few other RUclipsr to help me care for my hair. I also plan to get professional trims every 3 months
Good for you, Crystal! Remember, always listen to your hair first! It will tell you when it doesn't like a certain product or way of styling! xo
Whether if you’re relaxed (like I am) or natural My tip on NOT Dreading wash day is to NOT make it a “wash day.” It should only take a few minutes to no more than an hour and a half for most hair types).
I get laundry day, leg workout day, etc…, but If my hair is dirtier than usual…sweated more from weather changing, used more hair products than usual from
a certain style, etc…then I just wash my hair…I never wait for “Wash Day”, because it’s not a certain day for me.
I think the term “Wash Day” makes it seem to serious…and can make some people stressed out. I ALWAYS say that if you DREAD ANYTHING in life then you shouldn’t do it. If you Dread washing your hair then maybe it’s time to shave it off and wear it very very short (No More Dread).
I love this! You’re absolutely right!
It may take you that amount of time to wash and style your hair; speaking for myself, it may take me that amount of time to finish the washing process. The styling process can take an additional 3 hours, sometimes more, depending on the style. You can also tack on drying time to that total.
The term “wash day”, in my opinion, can be whatever day you choose to wash your hair - not specifically the same day every week (or frequency with which it gets washed). The fact that it can literally take half the day, it’s tiring using your arms for so long, etc is why people may come to “dread” the process. Let’s not trivialize what some people may go through.
Wow I was actually now telling my sis I want a regime for flat ironing after a wash because I am usually a hair setting gal. Just wanted a new look and something a bit faster than rollers.( I do love my roller set not giving up on it). Its just I am gonna switch it up every now and then. So yeah thanks Dom. Gym wear looks grt too on you.
Thank you for this and I’m glad I can inspire a different routine!
Love you Dom, thank you for sharing all you tips. You're amazing!
Awww Jamila! Thank you! You’re amazing!
I am horrible at doing my own hair. Can barely operate a flat iron or curling iron so I'd dread it when I have to do it myself now that I don't go to the salon weekly. It just reminds me that I am too old to be this incompetent 🤣 You all make it look so easy. I was, however addicted to hair products and tools I can't use. Proud to say I no longer have excess
Omg. Thank you, B! I kinda hate doing my own hair too. My sisters are so good with hair and me? I don’t really care enough to experiment with products and hairstyles. I know what works for me and I stick with my tried and true methods!
@@StyleDomination Yes, the family teases me that I have had the same hair since grade school...and they have the pictures to prove it!
Started and continued washing my hair at home during COVID. Def going to pick up some of these products. Glad to read about others wash days. It's always a lot easier and less hassle post a fresh relaxer. How do you feel about the brush/hair dryer combos? Would love to see if you had a video on different types of drying styles x
I just finished part two of my wash day now. Lol! I’m a natural but I love watching your videos!! And, yes I dread wash day because it takes too much of my time.
I hear ya, girl. My sis is natural and she just dreads it. Sending you a hug!
@@StyleDomination thank you!! I’ve seen your sister’s natural hair. She’s got beautiful hair also.😄
Yesterday, I purchased the S-Curl Activator Moisturizing Spray after watching one of your “Tips to get healthy hair” videos. I’m so late trying this product lol but I’m loving it! Thank u for the recommendation! 💕
Ahhh! So glad! It’s a “love it or hate it” product. Hair definitely feels softer and more manageable the day after using though! And it makes new growth so wavy and pretty!
OMG, Alex is the best!! Thanks for sharing :)
I use to dread wash day because I’m busy and although I love the end result I hate the time spent. Now that my products are in order as I know what works for my hair I feel better about wash day. I use olaplex and my black is beautiful products. I find that wash day is easier now because I have it together these days with great tools and products. I am loving progress with my hair so that’s also encouraging me to take the time to do all of these steps in my routine.
You are doing EVERYTHING RIGHT! Love to see it!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I was first this morning and it was nice to listen while I was getting ready❤
Awesome!
Yes I know blue magic used to use it and also dax. Those are the days when my mum used to do my hair, happy days.
Awww Dax! I smell Dax and it makes me think of my Dad!
@@StyleDomination I forgot to mention good old afro sheen.
I don’t like Shea Moisture products but this leave-in is SO THE BOMB 😍 my hair game changed since I used this
Agree 100%. I feel it's their best product! xo
Yeah I tried to wash at the start of the panasonic and did not comb through after braiding and the hair matted and locked and took hours for me and my husband to detangle with copious amounts of conditioner. That was the first and last time in over a decade I attempted to wash. The loss of hair was traumatic. I happily pay someone else to deal with it but your directions are great so if I ever need to I think I can.
Oh my. I am SO SORRY. 😞
Sundays are the best days 😀
I agree now that I am my own boss and no longer work in a horrible office
Blue Magic (the blue one)! ‘79 😜…got it on my counter now. 👍🏽
For the products I know I use, I have one in use and one in my linen closet. When the one I'm using runs out, I start using the next one and I purchase a new one when I go shopping. I shop with a list so I don't forget.
Hi Dominique, thank you for the great video. I recently relaxed my hair after 12 years of being natural and I’ve really been struggling with breakage. I dread my wash days because of all the hair that’s left on the comb and in the shower. Its actually really starting to depress me and I have considered just cutting it all off. In this video I learnt that I probably wasn’t giving enough attention to detangling my hair so I will make an effort to do that from now on. Please share some more tips on how to avoid breakage. Xx
It's been a process for me. But this is what works: gently finger detangling 1st: extra wide tooth comb; go very, very slowly and gently (like a baby), use detangling shampoo and detangling conditioner. Leave in detanglers. The force with which we may apply our combs to natural hair does not work with relaxed hair. Easy, slowly, gently.
Keep your hair moisturize , with leaving conditioner and natural oils. Limit manipulations, put hair in bun and moisturize it if you do take it down to moisturize it or to give it a little break for the day don't comb your hair one every day only two times a week with wide teeth comb . Be careful of too much proteins, buy Aussie conditioner and shampoos use that weekly or every other week. Buy strong protein conditioner and light one to use once a month limit it , use the the heavy protine one every one and half months would recommend after long protectivestyle , the light conditioner protein once a month. Give the hair a break by doing sewing or Knowles braids or a wig, try to keep them in for 2 months or 3 ( would do that with braids up to the 3 months) this will help . You will get breakage its normal just limit it to retain length. Give your hair a break every 2 months from being out by doing the protective styles. Remember less protein more moisturize and less combin of hair. Keep ends tuck in, if in pony tail most times . Use silk or satin to cover hair at night dont have to take down the pony tail just cover it before bed . No small hair ties to catch hair up ,use satin tie bans to catch hair up. Do make sure you protect your ends from gettings relaxers on the ends it will bresk hair too always use heavy oils to oil them before relaxer days. Hope these help also detangle hair with conditioner then put it in 4 twist or plots before you shampoo it and conditioner it. This helps the hair from tangling up when being rub in shower be gentle with hair, when washing or combing use leaving conditioner to moisturize hair too , read the lables becsuse even those have proteins in them be careful of those types . Good luck.
@@allisond4916exactly. The bonds have been broken with a relaxer, therefore it's important that we are extra gentle on our hair. It no longer has the bonds that kept it strong.
Lately I’ve been loving clip-is to add fullness to my relaxed hair. Do you recommend clip-ins? If so how often a week should I wear them? I feel like they are more safe than wearing wigs which are always too thick and uncomfortable for me.
I normally wash my hair on Sunday night n sleep with deep conditioning and next day I rinse off and dry my hair , I don’t complicate too much even though is tough wash day I hate it. By the way your hair looks amazing flourishing n the volume 👏🏼 well done
Absolutely gorgeous Sis 👍🏽 I Love my wash days!
I love washing my hair trying products that work.
Because of your recommendations I have been using the Unite detangler. I have 2 bottles as well! 🤭 Great product!
Oooh! That's awesome! It's probably my fave haircare discovery from the last year!
You have help me so much with my not shedding!
I am the first to comment 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
😍Getting my first relaxer tommorow after being natural for 1 year. I am nervous
You got this! I hope it goes well! And congrats on being first! 🥇🥇🥇
I love your hair videos, your so funny. Thanks 😊
Hehehe thank you!
You are glowing! Thanks for sharing :)
I loved this video! I do the products and tools on the counter and ready to go as well. It helps me mentally. Lol
Hey beauty love the vid! Thought you fainted because you ran out of product when you bent down to get it 🥴🥴😆😆😆. Love you! ♥️⚘
That's some dramatic thinking! lol
Thank you!💕
I'm on wash day as we speak, I think I more hate drying cause I air dry and it takes so long😄, the heat from the dryer is brutal
I agree. I find the heat especially from hooded dryers feels like I’m being baked alive. I just can’t. I love air drying while sitting in the backyard under the sun with a glass of wine. Hahahah
@@StyleDomination only thing it's freezing today, oh Canada, got to love it😄
Can you do a video reviewing the Dyson Supersonic? I've heard you talk about it before and you've got me wanting to buy one now.
Yesss! That video is on the list!
My problem with wash day if I expose myself too much to water, I have weird allergies all through the night especially if I wash my hair the evening. Thanks for making this video
Awesome 👏🏾 I just blow dry and not flatiron
I have to ask, does your hair break while blow drying? Sorry - so you blow out with a brush or just the dryer?
@@StyleDomination I blow dry with the comb on the blow drier and leave my hair like that. I wear my hair in a bun most times if there’s any occasion all run the flat iron over out. Being relaxed don’t think I need the flat iron to be honest I prefer roller set 😂
Gorgeous as always. How often do you flat iron your hair in between your relaxers at 8 weeks?
I never thought to ride my peloton with a deep conditioner in, game changer! I use a plastic shower cap to deep conditioner, is a plastic bag different?
Hi there! No - they are essentially the same! And good for you! I use plastic bags because my head is big and all of my hair rarely fits in shower caps. Lol
Sooo Beautiful!! 😍😍 Do you straighten every wash day? What heat protectant do you use?
Hi Dom, have you considered buying plastic shower caps instead of using a plastic bag for conditioning? Amazon sells them
I dread it 😫
I dread wash day at 8-10 weeks after relaxer....
Looks good. When and how often do you use the blue magic?
🔥🔥🔥
Hi Dom! Your hair is beautiful. What kind of heat protection do you use?
Thank you, India! I use indigo Lustre glo!
Thanks for sharing your routine! I love the fact that you can shower with that necklace on, do mind sharing the brand??? I am looking for gold waterproof jewelry. Thanks in advance!
I really enjoyed the video. Can you tell me the name of the leave in conditioner you used?
Unite 7Seconds Detangler. And products are in the description box. 😀
Thanks for replying back but, I asked for the wrong product. I should have asked for the name of the heat protectant you used.
Any advice for when a stylist refuses to relax your hair? I'm natural and have been wanting to go back to relaxed for a while now, but have gone to 3 different stylist and they all said I "don't need one." I feel that a relaxer fits into my time/lifestyle better as I prefer to wear my hair straight and I am able to take care of it better at home. Even after explaining this, they say no. I'm at a loss!
No one “needs” a relaxer. It’s either a service the stylist offers or it’s not. Are you going to natural hair stylists or something? Because they don’t always offer relaxer services. I would go to Style Seat and find exactly what you want.
@@denyshadials5702 they do offer the service. I even had emails going with one about my preferred type to use and they said they were okay with using that brand. After going in to get a blowout and speaking with her in person the conversation happened about me not needing one and the stylist trying to talk me out of it. Thank you for the suggestion of Style Seat, I'll give it a try.
@@NS-gg8om
Interesting. The only time I’ve heard of stylist refusing to offer their services is for health and safety reasons. Do you mind my asking what’s the reason they refuse to give you a relaxer? Especially if they’re willing to give it to someone else?..
@@denyshadials5702 the reply that I've been getting is that my hair straightens easily without one, and natural hair is healthier so I "shouldn't give up on it." For me it's not a matter of giving up, but rather that I know my schedule and lifestyle, and after years of being natural I know I don't have the time for it or even get to enjoy it. This seems to fall on deaf ears and then they try to talk my into protective styles and waiting to see if I feel the same.
@@NS-gg8om
Ohh..when you put it that way, it almost sounds like relaxing plus using heat would be too much for your hair to handle.
If you do find someone willing to give you one, then I suggest rollersets and no blow drying/flat ironing.
I love your frames where did you shop for them at? I’m in search of some new frames.
These ones are from a great boutique in Montreal called Georges Laoun Opticien. The frames are a brand called Plein Les Mirettes. They are so cool! Thank you!
How often do you straighten your hair?
Maybe twice a month if that?
Thank you so much for this! What heat protectant are you using?
How often do you flat iron and use a blowdryer. I am new to relaxer and I've heard that you have to wash your hair every week however, I want it to look nice after a wash day.
Thanks 😊
Could you please tell me what is the name of the Detangler you use right before you blow dryer your hair it is not listed only Unite is listed.
That robe is cute though :)
I do badly the older I have gotten I do! Before I used to do so much better when I was young lol
Hi love, not sure if you mentioned but do you still use Olaplex?
I really hope you’re getting paid by these brands Becuase I buy most of the products you feature in your videos when you say so!!! My bank account cries but my hair thrives!
Lmao!!! I really appreciate the support! xo
I don't anymore!!
I got a question really need help …I cut a good length of my hair because the ends was soo light and brittle wasn’t like it was damaged or I was losing hair … but what could I use too get thicker less brittle hair ?
😥
Hi Mirjam. I’ll need to know a little more about your hair like what your haircare routine is, what products you use and when the last time you got a hair cut. 😀
@@StyleDomination thank you so much for your replay … I use aphogee keratin &green tea shampoo and there balance conditioner… hair mayonnaise and some mixed oil. And Cantu hydration leave in. I relaxed the hair with ORS cream relaxer
it was over my shoulder and cut it too length of my hair (that was yesterday). My hair growths pretty quick . And I’m not on any type of medication.
😢
Where did you get your robe from?
Hi there! I added the robe deets in the description - it's from Pokoloko. Here you go and if you deside to treat yourself, use code DOMINIQUE, you'll get 20% off (that is site wide, actually!): bit.ly/3LN1A4C
How often do you wash your hair???
Which relaxer do you use?
I don’t call mines wash day I call it self care day. Sunday is the day I wash my hair and it’s all about me not the husband not the boys’ but me.
Way to go! Good girl!
Do you put any product in your hair while it air dries?
Did you watch the video? 😉
@@StyleDomination ohhh the UNITE is a leave in. I thought it was just a detangler
@@gloriaekeh3873 It’s both. It’s pretty good. Tap its link in the description box to learn more about it. It’s fantastic.
Pick a podcast, make some tea, light a candle and end with your favorite meal. Don’t fight your hair, work with it
Девочка просто огонь красотка шикарная фигура
I used to but now i don't.
😂If it wasn’t for the title I would have thought this was another kind of video. 🤔Why are you half dressed for a video about achieving healthy hair? Your tips are great. Your hair looks fabulous. Don’t need a click and bait pic that’s for sure.
You'll be pretty Hot with Dread locs
You’re absolutely stunning and so is your hair 😍 ur videos are a god send
