Hits:
ORS Hair Mayonaisse- Love it more than my ORS pak .... so far.
Getting this "weave" in- I was manipulating my hair too much

Miss:
Silk Elements Mega-Silk- left my hair feeling hard and what not.
too much manipulation and heat. and I must have my protein/ moisture balance cuz my ends were just FALLING off.

I did not feel right with just one in the house.

Confirmed hit: Qhemet Amla & Olive Heavy Cream
My hair was still soft and moisturized when I woke up this morning! That's the first time that's happened in a long time. Although I probably wouldn't put this on my hair if I were wearing it down and straight because it's so heavy, since I'm protective styling most of the time I will definitely be using this on my hair for the majority of the winter. My hair needs hardcore moisture, and this gave it to me!

I love this product, too. But, I can use it on my hair while wearing down though.

But I can only use a tiny bit per section of hair. My hair still moves and everything.

I could not use a lot of it though.

Mixing ORS RP with an egg and Rheri Redding Natural Protein and DCing for 1hr, soft moisturized hair.

Letting Rollerset air-dry--hair was soft and boucy.

Rollersetting with end papers shaved off 30 minutes off my time, I was able to rollerset my hair within 25 minutes and I didn't notice any adverse effects like breakage or rough hair.

On the Fence

Lanza Healing Moisture Shampoo--it was nice, my hair felt really soft but it didn't provide much slip.

Lanza Kukui conditioner--Smells great and left my hair soft but I'm not sure if it really left my hair soft and so easy to detangle or if it was my ORS mixture mentioned above. I'll have to try these again to see if they are really effective. But I do love the smell, my hair still smells like coconuts a day later.

How does it decrease time?

How does it decrease time?

For me fumbling with those end papers take alot of time. It didn't decrease drying time under the dryer just the amount of time it takes me to get the roller in my hair.

Hit-Crane Clips for separating hair. This holds alot of hair! I used it on my clients with dredlocks and they held all that hair up! I used it while rollersetting and they stayed in place, no need for me to re-clip, and straighten my parts etc.

Revisited:
Dry hair DC'ing - Did this all the time back in high school but who really knew about healthy hair care then

Moisturizing & sealing - My hair doesn't like product, it weighs it down so I leave the daily moisturizing/sealing for my protective styling or once a week when my hair is out.
