Good afternoon all! This morning my braids weren't completely dry, still I noticed that the curl activator (Lustrasilk Curl Max) provided great curl-definition and hydration as I unbraded my hair. I.DO.NOT.LIKE.A.LOT.OF.PRODUCT.ON.MY.HAIR. but.......
I sparingly applied the (Lustrasilk) Curl Pudding 1st to my ends then to my roots, as I began to unbraid each one, then I added more to shingle the sections.
I wasn't thrilled with the look so I added regular gel (LA Looks Extreme) and put my hair into two low and loosely banded pigtails and baggied my whole head for about an hour. The 1st pic was taken this evening, and my hair is fully dry; I streteched a section to show my true length; the latter two were taken this morning when my hair was fresh out of the banded pigtails. I feel the extra step allowed the products to soak in my hair, and provided a bit of stretching; though my hair was still damp. ETA: Overall my hair is not nearly as "crunchy" as I thougt it would be.
