The Ultimate Wash Day with Mielle: Sea Moss, Pomegranate & Honey for Natural Hair
When it comes to natural hair, wash day can make or break your hair week. This week, I finally committed to a full wash day with Mielle Organics products, and y’all…it delivered! I tested the Sea Moss Anti-Shedding line along with a tried-and-true favorite from the Pomegranate & Honey collection.
Whether you’re trying to figure out how to use Mielle mousse, or you’re torn between Mielle Sea Moss vs Pomegranate & Honey, this guide will break it down from a detox to the styling. Oh, and yes! It’s been gym-tested and curl-approved.
Step 1: Detox with Aztec Clay Mask
Before jumping into the Mielle products, I started with an Aztec Clay Mask. This is my go to detox to remove product buildup and clarify my scalp! It also activates the curls giving that juicy, defined look. Rinse the mask out with warm-to-hot water to ensure you get all of it out your hair.
Step 2: Pre-Poo with Conditioner
Instead of going straight to shampoo, I typically do conditioner as a pre-poo. This method protects my curls from drying out and helps with detangling thus giving me the first steps to a great wash and go. Even though the clay mask already softened my hair (so you could have skipped this step and went to shampoo), this step made my curls feel extra buttery. Add a little oil (a few oils to help guide you) if you need to stretch your conditioner or just jazz up your pre-poo..
Step 3: Cleanse with Mielle Sea Moss Anti-Shedding Shampoo
Now for the cleanse! I used the Mielle Sea Moss Anti-Shedding Shampoo. It’s gentle but gets the job done. I unraveled my twists under running water, then applied shampoo with my fingertips before following up with a shampoo brush.
If you’re wondering is Mielle Sea Moss good for natural hair, the answer is yes! It cleanses without stripping, perfect for curlies who work out or use a lot of product. It dosent become overpowering.
Step 4: Moisturize with Mielle Leave-In Conditioner
Next, I applied the Mielle Leave-In Conditioner while my hair was still soaking wet. This helps trap in moisture before styling. Just be careful with the bottle, it’s a little slippery when wet! So it makes it a bit difficult to pump out the product. I tend to screw off the head and squeeze)
Step 5: Define with Mielle Mousse and Wet Line Gel
Time to style! I reached for the Mielle Pomegranate & Honey Curl Mousse and topped it with Wet Line Extreme Gel for a long lasting hold.
I styled in four sections using a Tangle Teezer, focusing on curl definition from root to tip. This combo gave me shine and bounce with minimal frizz! When it got a put old it made for the perfect pineapple style for quick outings and gym sessions.
