I haven't reached max hydration yet so I can't answer your questions. However once hydration is reached your hair will stay moisturized a lot longer. I no some could go 7 days if they had too but the originator doesn't advise going longer then 3 days even once reaching max hydration. Before this regimen I couldn't get even 1 day hair cuz my hair would dry out by the time I got home from work. Now I can get 2 day hair maybe even 3.
I did my first clay rinse and my hair was clumped and extremely well defined. I had no idea my hair looked like that* beneath all the frizz. 
I think I found something you might like! I think it goes up to pg 200-something. Anyway, I say all that to say, Pinke Cube might not even co-sign these different methods any more. 
almond eyes, I have some question for you if you don't mind. I'm practicing my troubleshooting with this method.
I kept it on for several hours with a shower cap. The result was so perfect (looking, feeling) when I washed it out that I really should have just followed the regimen and applied my leave-in. Being extra 
, I did an ACV rinse that ruined it.@almond eyes, I have some question for you if you don't mind. I'm practicing my troubleshooting with this method.
First, you have to tell me exactly what you did, step by step, and with which products. The image of you freaking out and slapping conditioner on top of your clay is cracking me up, reminding me of how I felt that night with the porosity issue I mentioned. Lawd, this hair thing is serious business.
Ok *catches breath*, so when you say the clay was drying, what do you mean? Describe how it felt or looked that made you think it was dry. Had you ever used clay before? What, exactly, was your blend? I had never used it before personally, but I figured it might feel a little drying. It's mud, after all.
Ahh, so you didn't use gel. According to Pinke Cube, that's one of the most important steps. She doesn't utilize gel for defining curls, she employs it as a sealant. In her opinion, oil isn't adequate for low porosity hair because oil only traps the moisture of your leave-in for a limited amount of time and, on lo po hair, things tend not to absorb anyway. So, basically, [lo po hair(l-i + oil)]= oily hair from which the leave in has evaporated.
Do you intend to actually do the method, or are you just experimenting with different pieces of the reggie like me?
almond eyes, I think you're getting hung up on curl patterns and hang-time. That's not the focus of this regimen. The inventor, Pinke Cube, was not looking for definition when she stumbled onto this method. She had a bald spot caused by a bad ingredient in some gel. She tried everything usually recommended to no avail. She bc'd for the zillionth time and baggied for three months. To her delight, at the end of that period, the area had grown back.
Definition is just a way to measure one's progress. But maximally hydrated hair performs better and retains growth. That's my goal.

What shocked her was that that single patch of hair was perfectly coiled from root to tip.
She started researching frizz and learned that it's a sign of severely parched hair, but it's not a hair type on its own. 3c hair can also be so frizzy that the curl pattern is hidden. Any hair type can frizz.
What I'm trying to explain is that, while users of this regimen discuss curl definition, that's simply a by-product of max hydration. Dry hair= frizz. Moist hair= no frizz= defined hair, whether you wanted it or not.
Me, personally, I never intend to do wngs so, curl definition or not, don't really matter to me.
almond eyes,
I know what you mean. I also ordered some Irish Moss because, although I do intend to buy some Kinny Curly Custard (the gel) once I'm fully natural, I'd like to make a gel with a cast (meaning, it makes a shell around the hair strand to seal in moisture) but minimal hold to use as I continue my transition. I still have a huge vitacost order to make, though. I'm still missing some ingredients for the gel. I'm gonna take pics before and after and, or course, post them here, but I also wanna send them to Pinke Cube to be posted on the website. My mom is starting it tonight cuz she just got some clay. (She's the only reason I'm doing this, btw, just to prove it works. I think my hair would hydrate using normal methods.)
Wish I could remember what it was. @almond eyes,
The mud mask, as I understand it, is an alternate cleaning method, like an acv or baking soda rinse. It's not the one thing that gets your hair moisturized and soft. Your conditioner is supposed to do that.
This regimen has two cleansing steps in it because Pinke Cube believes that lo po hair has to be really clean to absorb moisture, otherwise the cuticles won't lift.
****************************************************
I'm getting my clay tomorrow.
And, my mom has some flax seeds, acv, and coconut oil for me.
I'll start the full reggie when I get my gel situation worked out.
OAN, I'm gonna start a hair journal to keep track of how the various steps of this regimen affect me hair. Something I did left my hair feeling kinda rough but honestly, I can't remember what it was. I just know that something I did in my last wash did me wrong.
I'm so jealous already I don't even want to see it
