Coming back to report. Today was wash day. I wasn't sure how it was going to pan out because I had been using a sulfur mix and I wanted to co-wash instead of clarify.
1. I used the Coconut Lime Oil Conditioning Cleanser. The amount that I had to use equated to less than the amount I used of Wen. It spread easily, had a looser consistency, and felt nice. It didn't make me itch at all, which makes me a very happy camper. I was able to massage my scalp to try to get it clean and I worked it into my hair by sections. When I rinsed, my hair and scalp were clean, soft, and happy without being stripped.
2. I put on the Protein Free Honey Pineapple Hibiscus Repair Mask with a little castor oil, covered with a plastic cap then my turbie twist, and went on about my day. When I rinsed, I was NOT impressed. I guess I was expecting my hair to feel softer than it did. I added my leave-in, sealed, twisted into two buns to dry and when I didn't expect it...
My hair dried soooo stinking soft!!!!
This conditioner is a keeper. I expected it to be thick with loads slip but it wasn't. Then I thought my hair was going to feel like hot dry garbage.... it DIDN'T!! It's so soft that I can't stop touching it. The conditioner was lighter and smelled so good..... it did a really good job. I am definitely buying more of this. The smell is delicious without being overwhelming.
I am very happy. I found more staples. YAY!
