People always want to know how I get my hair so "perfect", whether it's in person or on one of my social media platforms. As some of you know by now, I have decided to go on an amazing YouTube journey to talk about my hair, skin, travel and whatever else that my crazy mind comes up with. Currently, I have a "Welcome to my channel" video up, but the first official video I will be posting next Monday is a wash and go routine with my favourite hair care products - Up North Naturals. Don't forget to go enter the giveaway on Instagram!

I have high porosity hair, which means it absorbs moisture but doesn't retain it. With that being said, when styling my hair I need to make sure that it's soaking wet, in order for the products to work. Once my hair is drenched, I separate it into four section to ease the process. With each section, I spray more water to make sure they haven't dried and then put the product in each section. I apply 3 pumps of the Go-2 Hydrating Hair Milk and then 3 pumps of the Curl Ease Styling Lotion. The hair milk is the perfect leave-in conditioner that provides lots of moisture. The styling lotion has hold like gel, but slip like a conditioner. I love it!


Once all four sections have the first 2 products in, I take a loonie size amount of the Twist & Curl Butter and rub throughout my hair to seal in all of the moisture. I top of everything with a bit of 8-Oil Blend because all of the ingredients have amazing benefits!


You want to know those amazing benefits, don't you? Well... here they are:


The last step is drying...the most tedious, longwinded, monotonous step there is! Air drying alone takes minutes, no hours, actually more like days. So, I use a diffuser to speed up the process. Settings are cool and high. The amount of volume you achieve will depend on how you diffuse. I don't like a ton of volume on the first day because my hair gets bigger, and bigger, and bigger over the days.

Well, there you have it! That is how I achieve my perfect wash and go using Up North Naturals products. The natural ingredients and essential oils make it the finest products to touch my hair in a long time. The best part about the Up North Naturals brand is that it is a female black-owned business!
