Have you ever had one of those wash days where you rinse out your conditioner, touch your hair, and immediately think, Oh, this is going to be good?
Your strands feel soft.
They have some spring to them.
And before you've even reached for a styling product, your hair already feels like it's in a good place.
That's exactly what Lisa experienced.
And the best part is that she walked us through exactly what she did.
A Real Story From Our Community
Lisa M. left this 5 star verified review after using several Strands of Faith products in her wash day routine:
“I washed my hair with the hydrating shampoo and then deep conditioned with the intense deep treatment, letting it sit under a plastic bag for about 30mins. When I rinsed it out my hair was so soft and springy! I then finished up with adding the leave in conditioner spray. The next day I was able to do a wash and go with another product but I believe the condition Strands of Faith put my hair in set my hair up to come out so well! I truly love these products and I especially love that they promote a faith filled message. Will definitely continue to use!”
Can we talk about “so soft and springy” for a minute?
Because Lisa hadn't even gotten to her final style yet.
She was talking about how her hair felt after washing and conditioning it.
And that matters.
Your Wash Day Is the Foundation
Sometimes we put so much attention on our styling products that we forget about everything that happens before them.
But think about it.
If your hair already feels dry before you start styling, you're trying to create your finished look on strands that may be asking for something else first.
Lisa started her routine with Divine Hydrating Shampoo.
Then she followed with Restore Intense Deep Treatment and allowed it to sit for about 30 minutes.
When she rinsed?
Soft and springy.
That's the kind of foundation you want before you even start thinking about your finished style.
Step One: Start With Your Cleanse
Lisa began with Divine Hydrating Shampoo.
Cleansing is where wash day starts, but that doesn't mean you want your strands to feel stripped when you're finished.
Your shampoo has a job to do.
You want to remove buildup and give your hair and scalp a fresh start so you're ready for the rest of your routine.
And once your hair is clean, you can move into one of the most important parts of Lisa's routine.
Moisture.
Step Two: Give Your Hair Some Extra Love
Next came Restore Intense Deep Treatment.
Lisa let the treatment sit for about 30 minutes before rinsing.
And this is where she noticed the difference.
“When I rinsed it out my hair was so soft and springy!”
You know that feeling when you rinse your hair and can immediately tell your strands feel different?
That's the moment.
Before the styling.
Before the finished look.
Before anybody else even sees your hair.
You can feel the difference yourself.
Step Three: Don't Forget Your Leave In
After rinsing, Lisa finished her Strands of Faith routine with Enrich Leave in Conditioner.
This gave her another opportunity to add moisture before moving on to styling.
And this is where having a routine starts to make sense.
Each product doesn't have to do everything.
Your cleanser has its job.
Your deep treatment has its job.
Your leave in has its job.
Together, you're building a foundation for your hair before you ever create the finished style.
And Then Something Interesting Happened
The next day, Lisa did her wash and go using a styling product from another brand.
And you know what?
We love that she told us that.
Because she wasn't trying to give Strands of Faith credit for something our products didn't do.
Instead, she said:
“I believe the condition Strands of Faith put my hair in set my hair up to come out so well!”
That's exactly why your wash day matters.
Lisa felt like the care she gave her strands beforehand helped put her hair in a better place for whatever came next.
And if you're wondering what you could reach for next to keep your routine within the Strands of Faith family, this is where our Shape 4 in 1 Styling Cream can come in.
Want to Complete the Routine?
After cleansing with Divine Hydrating Shampoo, deep conditioning with Restore Intense Deep Treatment, and adding moisture with Enrich Leave in Conditioner, you can follow with our Shape 4 in 1 Styling Cream when you're ready to style.
Shape was designed to provide moisture, definition, and soft hold, making it a natural next step when you're creating a wash and go, twist out, braid out, or another defined style.
So your complete Strands of Faith routine can look like:
Cleanse. Deep condition. Add leave in moisture. Style.
That's the beauty of building a routine where every product has a purpose.
Then I would also update The Routine Behind This Story so we're crystal clear about what Lisa actually used versus what we recommend:
The Routine Behind This Story
Lisa's Faithimonial featured three Strands of Faith products: Divine Hydrating Shampoo, Restore Intense Deep Treatment, and Enrich Leave in Conditioner.
She used them in that same order.
Cleanse. Deep condition. Add leave in moisture.
And if you'd like to complete those steps with a Strands of Faith styler, follow with Shape 4 in 1 Styling Cream for moisture, definition, and soft hold.
Cleanse. Treat. Moisturize. Style.
Now you've got a complete routine from wash day through your finished look.
And Then There's the Faith Part
Lisa ended her review with something that goes beyond hair:
“I truly love these products and I especially love that they promote a faith filled message.”
And that means so much to us.
Strands of Faith has always been about more than what goes on your hair.
We want the products sitting in your bathroom, on your shelf, or in your hands on wash day to be a little reminder too.
Keep The Faith.
In your hair journey.
In yourself.
And in whatever you're walking through outside of wash day too.
Keep The Faith
The finished style gets all the pictures.
But don't overlook the work you did before you got there.
Sometimes progress looks like rinsing out your deep conditioner and realizing your hair feels softer than it did before.
Sometimes it's noticing a little more spring.
Sometimes it's finally figuring out the combination of steps your strands respond to.
Keep paying attention.
Keep learning your hair.
And keep building from a healthy foundation.
