Ok guys so this is the 4th time I've tried this, and got the same results, so I had to share.
So I was switching up my reggie. I'm on a serious growth/retention mission, and I felt it was time to make some changes. I've decided to completely switch over to sulfate free shampoos. After seeing the infomercial AGAIN and drooling, I decided that I needed to get my hands on some Wen. However, I'm not patient, and don't like waiting for orders to come in. So I went to the next best thing, Sally's Hair One (Olive Oil flavor). I've washed my hair with this SEVERAL times this week and it's fabulous. It has left my hair incredibly moist, and gives my scalp a nice tingle.
I've reintroduced mega tek to my reggie after taking a break (because I ran out, and remember I HATE ordering stuff). So I've been applying it to my scalp straight, and when I wash I let it set on my hair for 5 mins in the shower. I only started this though since the beginning of this week.
Now the good part.... I picked up some extra virgin coconut oil from Whole Foods. I applied my Silk Elements Mega Silk Olive Oil Intense Conditioner all over my hair (I saturate my hair with it). Afterwards, I coated my entire head with the coconut oil, put on a shower cap, and sat under the dryer for 20 mins. When I rinsed my hair out it was soft and smooth like butter!
I didn't even have to use much of a leave in because my hair was that smooth. My hair hasn't been this moisturized in ages. Today I put just a small amount of Hair One back in, mostly on the ends, and I really like it as a leave in too.
For me moisture is uber important since I heat style my hair (my preferred method is to air dry to 85% dry -> blow dry on a low setting -> flat iron on a low setting). This for me is now a major keeper. What's even more exciting is that my ends are sooo healthy and I'm still able to retain length.
Ok I Know, I know...
I think I may actually see APL finally by the end of the year. Particularly now that I'm strict about NOT TRIMMING.

Your hair looks so beautiful, healthy and has a gorgeous shine.
Go 'head with your bad self!
I think I intend to, but I'm too inept to do it, lol. So when I put my fingers on my scalp I feel the beginnings of little tiny spirals in some parts, lol.
