I've been really into fitness and hair styling + fitness = reversion. As a result, I haven't really done much because it's been like 'Well, I'm just going to sweat it out in a few hours and I could use this time to actually work out.'
Before my most recent thing, I wanted to say that I tried to start using cones to see if I could reap the benefits a few people have received. Nope. I clarified and went back to my routine.
Now, my hair's happiness has been suffering because I tried washing it then using ridiculous amounts of gel to get it to stay. Spoiler alert: that doesn't work. The hair near my crown reverted and the rest of it was stiff and hard. I ended up bunning it forever until last night when I finally realized I couldn't keep it like this. [I'm sure my friends were unamused as well...]
Last night, I cowashed my hair with VO5 then deep conditioned with ORS Hair Mayo [I know, I know, but I hadn't made any gelatin and I was literally just getting out of the shower and didn't have much of a choice. :( I ran out / have VERY little left anyway, so it won't happen again.] I left that in for a few hours while working out to get a DEEP protein treatment, and then I rinsed it, semi-dried my hair under a turbie twist, then finally applied coconut milk which I left in overnight under a shower cap.
I woke up the next morning and my hair was only mildly wet, as I'd hoped. I set it with Curlformers while applying my oil mix, and went to one of my awesome jobs where no one would see me, MUAHAHAHA.
After work [only two hours], I got back, made a ton of pastries [none of which came out well] and then took out the now dry set. I flat ironed on about 270°.
Out of the set, my hair was already much better looking than it had previously been. Almost every piece was very smooth, it was moisturized...I could have just left it like that if I weren't trying to test this out.
Anyway, here are the results:
