Hair Rambles: Learning and Curlformers

I washed my hair Thursday night [been really stressed out and washing my hair / taking hot showers relaxes me]. I cowashed with VO5 Moisture Milks Strawberries and Cream, then steamed [the shower here gets extremely hot, so much that the shower was full of steam in about 20 seconds.] with PM SS DT and Hair One Olive Oil lightly covering my hair. Then, I mosturised / sealed with aloe vera [from the fridge, so cold! It probably sealed my cuticles, so that's good.] coconut and grapeseed oil mixed, and then shea butter. I'm airdrying in twists. I didn't detangle / comb my hair.
I noticed something: when my hair has the correct amount of protein, it noticeably clumps together when wet, and gets less puffy when I comb it out. It stays straight, but clumps into these great, easy to manage pieces. I had forgotten that, but I have offically made the connection!

Saturday, I exchanged my curlformers [extra long and wide] for long and extra wide [even though my hair is a little to long] so I de-tangled my hair and it was more difficult than I would have liked. In the future, I will at least detangle with a wide tooth comb. I did the three comb method and put the curlformers in, then took them out this morning.
Firstly:
They went in so easily, even though I have the same amout [I bought one more pack, so I had 12 extra long and wide, and now 12 extra wide and long], and there was only one section that got caught, and I redid it easily and with no suffering or lost hair. It was so much easier, that now I can say with utmost  confidence, if your hair gets tangled, it's because your piece is too big and you either need more curlformers, or bigger curlformers depending on the style you want. I still want more than twelve of these, maybe another pack or two, but it's more of a style option and less of a 'this will pull out my hair if I don't do something' option! Anyway, it looked awesome, but the top was a bit puffy so I put a scarf on it until work. I haven't had work yet, but here are pictures. The light is accenting my tired!face.

I'm going out with friends tonight, so hopefully it'll hold up to Chicago winter! Talk to you all soon and hope you have  a nice weekend!
