I haven't made a hair thread in so long.....missed you guys! *waves*
I get asked a lot how I get my wng's to last a week. Well here's how and some pics of the last day.
These are the key things to getting curls to last.....
-Set the curls really well with a product that has some good hold. I use Lustrasilk Olive Oil Cholesterol (better than the Lustrasilk Mango Cholesterol that I raved about years ago) and scrunch KCCC over that. If I were to wear my curls softer w/o much product they would not last so you need some hold and it will soften up and get bigger as the days go by.
-I apply the Lustrasilk in 4 sections and brush it through with my denman. I use quite a lot....it foams up when I brush it through lol. After I brush it through I rake and smooth with my fingers to separate and lengthen the curls then I do the tightly curly method to separate the curls even more and encourage definition. After I've finished my whole head I scrunch in the KCCC and shake my head all around to help form the curls. I don't use a lot of KCCC because it has a strong hold. Now I sit under the dryer with my head flipped upside down which really helps get volume!
-After my hair is dry I use the blow dryer to get the scrunch the crunch out and that's it. Now to maintain I use a locsoc at night and pin the tail of it up on top of my head so my curls are sitting on top. I meant to take a pic of this....i'm so sorry because this is really important....i'm hoping I can explain how I do it properly until I can take the picture. The locsoc has really been my savior for lasting curls.
-I don't re-wet or dampen my hair in anyway in-between washing....this would destroy my curls and make them frizzy. I don't do anything to my hair but maybe scrunch a little moisturizer and oil in mid-week.
It's a little fuzzy but I think it held up well. I washed it after these pics even though I think I could've gotten away with one more day. I needed to get the shed hairs out before my tangles got out of control though. Surprisingly detangling was actually a breeze thanks to this conditioner
...It can be found in Sally's. I dare say it's just as good, maybe better than my Yes To Carrots
. Cheaper too.
Any questions about this process I'd be glad to answer....hope this helps someone!
