Also, I'm confused because on the MHM site, she recommends Crece Pelo, which I've been using. But, I just looked at my tub and it has PEG-12 dimethicone and panthenol....

Maybe it's another version or they may have recently changed the ingredients ... I had this conditioner in my stash a while ago but I didn't like the strong scent so I threw it out before finding out about MHM ...These are the ingredients that I've found and that I remember were on my jar:
BOE Crece Pelo Natural Phitotherapeutic Treatment for Capillar Growth
Water, Cetearyl Alcohol, Gliceryl Monoestearate, Behentrimoinium Chloride, Fragrance, Methyl Paraben, Propyl Paraben; Extract & Natural Active: Laurel, Nettle, Arnica, Bardana, Watercress, Calendula, Ivy, Manzanilla, Lemon, Pine, Rosemary, Capuchina, Sage, Tioxolona, Milk Of Cotton And Fribo Active

haven't read the entire thread but can you do/has anyone done this method with with twist or braids in their hair?
I tried Hello Curly as my gel for my last wash and go. It lasted 3 days. It definitely gives me a bit more elongation when compared to KCCC. Unfortunately I used it full strength instead of diluting. I had crunch for all 3 days. I also didn't get the day 2 and day 3 bigger hair I get with KCCC and Afroveda Pur Whipped Gelly. I do like that it is in a pump and easier to use without wasting product like I do with KCCC. My nape hair responded better also.
I'm going to give it another go and dilute it. I think I can get similar results once I get the dilution correct.
I wonder if some type 4 naturals who relaxed their hair feel remorseful now because of this method.
I really want to try this, but I'm afraid of having loose hair while wet. I'm so used to washing my hair twisted up. I'm afraid this would cause so many more tangles and ssks. I have pen spring sized coils that love to wrap around each other in a bad way. I don't think they are big enough to really clump together.
Also, I feel like I have done everything in this regimen but the clay rinse. Is it the clay that is providing so much moisture? Or is it the fact that the steps are repeated so often?
My hair stays dry like a desert. I try new products with sucess the first couple of times, but then my hair goes back to being hard and dry.
Why not wash in small sections?
fluffyforever I think the clay helps with clumping.
fluffyforeverIt just isn't the wash, but styling afterward. It would take forever to put in twists small enough that would look decent for work. I wash my hair in twists - small to medium size twists that I can pull back to a bun for work. So my hair is never loose unless I am refreshing twists.
Having loose wet hair would be so bulky I don't think I could get it into a bun and not look crazy after shrinkage. And the headaches I got from the hair trying to shrink while in a bun was awful. The few times I wet bunned loose hair years ago caused so many tangles that I swore never again.
I'm going to try it this weekend when I don't have to go to work. My hair is longer now, so maybe wet bunning would be easier and painless. Obviously my current routine isn't cutting it.
Man, this is going to be hard to keep up with in the fall/winter. Washing everyday in the cold is no bueno. I'm going to have to do some serious modifications. What are other people thinking of doing? Wash N Gos are NOT the business in 30 degree or less weather!

With this regimen, my hair HANGS now and the shrinkage is not an issue. This regimen stretches my hair without having to twist or braid it.
So I did a "no baking soda" regimen last night
clarify with ACV
DC with hairtherapy steam cap
clay
leave in
twist for twistout with flaxseed/KCCC mixture
I find this to be easier for me (twisting as my style) as my hair gets to dry fully overnight.
remember that though the result will eventually be a frizz free wash n go we don't have to wear our hair in a wash n go.
I am having similar results as @Pompous Blue in terms of my hair hanging more .... each time I do the clay step, my hair hangs lower and when I take my twists out my twistouts are bigger.
Similarly Im also getting much less shedding lol I also did a full detangle last night because I was sure I was harbouring some rouge shed hairs but literally nothing came out .... though that could be because of the frequent finger detangling during the regimen ... even so I think its less shed hairs than I would have gotten if I were washing at the end of the week.
Honey Bee@Pompous Blue, You got any before and afters?

crimsonpeachHow do you like the ACV vs. the baking soda? I'm going to try the ACV tomorrow. Ultimately, I would like to be able to use either one interchangeably.
