Finally managed to drag myself & the drier out on Saturday, shikakai oil on hair and kalonji oil on scalp bagged, walked the dogs, washed out with silk protein conditioner. Then Aphogee 2 step till hard under drier, rinse out then skala avocado conditioner + almond oil bagged under drier had enough by then so sat for probably 20 minutes, then my Aveda on for 10 minutes.
My damp hair felt like a brand new wig (how to make the feeling last?) Braided when dry didn’t see any breakage, will see what happens this weekend.
