Moma's Healthy Hair Journey: Wash Day ; Length Check

Hi Ladies. Welcome to 2015!!! This is our year of unlimited Favor and Grace. God is taking us to greater heights this year in Jesus Name. Amen.

This is my first wash day post of the year and I also did a length check. My wash day this past weekend went smoothly and my hair responded well even with all the new growth I have. Here's how it went;

I took down my crotchet braids because I was tired of them and missed my hair. Also, accidentally chopped my hair with a scissors but I'm not worried. It'll grow back this year!
Pre-pooed the night before with a heated mix of coconut oil, olive oil and peppermint oil. The next morning my hair began itching like crazy probably because of the peppermint oil.
Detangled my hair using olive oil and made it into calabar braids for my wash day.
Clarified once with V05 moisturizing shampoo and also used Giovanni Smooth as silk sulfate-free shampoo too.
Did a tea rinse with 2 bags of Lipton green tea steeped in hot water for 30 minutes. I tried the pour and catch method by Jen of Just Grow already but with my head bent forward.
Deep conditioned with Motions moisture plus on my roots and Ors Hair Mayo on my ends for 2 hrs using my heat cap. Did this without rinsing the tea out. .
Rinsed and air-dried.
Applied my leave-ins when 70% dry. Took my time this wash day to apply my leave-ins and use products I dont use often. I undid each braid and first applied Emily Millionaire coconut oil and herbs, ( i dont use this product often because it weighs my hair down and also because of the smell) then Elasta Qp olive oil and mango butter and Mega profective leave-in strengthener. I then sealed with coconut oil.
Though this process took a while, my hair loved me for it because it kept my hair moisturized for at least 2 full days before I moisturized and sealed again.

I was supposed to put up this post about 3 days ago but wanted to do a length check first. Finally did it yesterday with my Ottimo hair straightener.
