I didn't wash this weekend because I'd just used the Curlformers, but my scalp was having dandruff problems, so when the curls were gone today, I decided to shampoo. I was originally going to clarify, but decided that since I didn't have the time to DC, I wouldn't clarify.
I washed with ApHogee Shampoo for Damaged Hair for the first lather, and PM SS Shampoo for the second lather. Then, I used Hair One Olive Oil for the remainder of the wash, which was pretty much a steam treatment. I did all of this, of course, in four sections. I did it in clips, but I've heard braids are better, and my clips are breaking. When I got out, I put in coconut oil and then used John Frieda Anti-Frizz Extra Strength Serum as a sealant instead of Shea butter [still trying to get rid of products]. I think it was actually better, because it gave me a lot more slip, and I don't have frizz...yet. I de-tangled, then put in the Curlformers for the next few hours until it dried [took about 3 and a half hours]. Once again, they went in easily. I'm hoping they last longer because I did a wet set. Anyway, when it dried I took them out and had a lot of moisture still in my hair. I don't know if it's because I shampooed more thoroughly than usual [two lathers instead of one, and I made sure to really get my scalp clean], or the JF, but my hair feels awesome. I've been told dry hair should feel and behave like wet / damp hair, and that's how you know it's moisturized. I think I've gotten a step closer to that, finally. If it is the JF, I'm going to buy more PM SSS whenever I can buy more. That's probably bad--buying a different product because it worked--but PM SSS works better, and on dry hair [JF does not work on my dry hair] and my hair dries faster, plus, I had amazing slip and that made the Curlformers go in quickly.
Next time I wash, [probably this weekend], I'm going to use ORS Replenishing Conditioner [speaking of which, I went into the shop and the packaging is different and says formerly known as Organic Root Stimulator. That's odd. I wonder if they changed any formulas? It's making me wonder about buying their relaxer. Relaxers were the last thing I wanted to keep buying, since I'll be making all my own products in the future...hmm.]
Have a healthy hair day!
