All I used was water/shea butter/Fantasia IC Gel w/Sparkle Lites

Naturae's CURL POP:

-100% Organic Africa Shea Butter (they sell this at my local BSS so I'm not sure where you can find yours)
-Denman Brush
-Fantasisia IC Gel With Sparkle Lites (In the green jar)

-Co-wash the hair / do not towel dry - leave wet
-Section hair in to 12ths (for thinner hair - less sections)
-Start with one section at a time:
-Rub about a TEASPOON of shea butter in palms until it turns into a paste
-Apply the shea butter to hair by squeezing it in to the strands, root to tip
-Run the denman brush through that section 2 times
-Apply Fantasia Gel with finger tips starting with the roots
-Move on to the next section

With this method your hair will not be dripping wet afterward. The shea butter does a wonderful job locking in moisture.

Is your hair hard afterwards? Do you know how long you can keep this without re-doing it?

 

[hopeful]

What do your hair looks like after it's dry or overnight, do you moist it the same way?

Actually my hair is VERY SOFT and not hard at all. I could tell it wasn't going to dry hard as I was doing it. I can't describe to you how amazed i was at the results as I was applying the Fantasia gel. It was curling up and started having a gloss shine like I've never seen it do with just the Fantasia IC gel alone!

I put a satin bonnet over it last night and this morning i I had some shrinkage but i just spritzed some water over it and tugged at the curls slightly to elongate. It's 5:00 and it still looks as fresh as it did when I walked out the door this morning. And that is with this Texas heat and gross air and all. hth

Wow! That is amazing. I wish my hair was natural so I could try this.

 

[SheenaVee]

Lovely!
Your hair looks similar to mine.

Shea butter plus a gel (I use ecostyler) gives AMAZING RESULTS.
Heck, shea butter alone makes my curls pop! Great results, OP!

YES, CURLS! Your hair looks so cute

I was just about to make a thread asking for curl definition tips. Now if only I can figure out where to find some organic shea butter...

If you can't get it at your BSS they have it at www.fromnaturewithlove.com i believe. I have never ordered from that site but a lot of naturals rave about the amazing line of butters/oils, etc that they have. you can even buy in bulk.

Great definition. Thanks for sharing.

[Whimsy]

It looks awesome!!!

Is your siggie pic a shot of it when dry?

If not, do you have a picture of it when dry? and did it shrink up a lot?

The pic in my siggy is 90% dry. it does not shrink up much after the next day as the curls still look fresh and still really, really, soft.
