I have been faithfully using the crown and glory method. I braid for 7 weeks and leave my hair 'out' until I get bored of it.
In between braidings I go through a rather lengthy 'wash day' process lol. But the rest of the week is no hassle:
- Pre poo with:
2 bananas
1 avocado
2 tbsps olive oil
1 egg yolk
- Shampoo with Swastk Shikakai bar
- Steam with conconction:
Half bottle of AOHSR
Half tub Greek yogurt
1 tspn SAA powder
2 tbspns oil
2 tbspns honey
- If I feel I need it I then use Roux porosity control for 5 minutes and rinse.
- I moisturise and seal with glycerin and coconut oil
- I put my hair in a donut bun and lay down the edges with IC fantasia gel and a scarf
- I put in some conditioner on my ends, put in the donut, then baggy with cling film
I just sort out my edges every day and leave my hair in a bun. I cowash once or twice in between with naked shine conditioner and put it back in a bun.
When straightening I do the same wash and conditioner method but after, I make 4 sections and I spray with CHI keratin mist and apply a small amount of Keracare silken seal to each section. (Applying a 'dime size' to the whole head just seems silly to me
)
I blow dry each section on warm until totally dry then blast it on cold. After that I just use the comb chase method with my Corioliss flat iron on small sections. I flick outwards.
I keep my hair straight for 2-3 weeks.
HTH
GREAT, AWESOME PROGRESS!
