okay, as per armyqt's recommendations i tried some elasta products (I didn't post immediately b/c i wanted to compare them to some other products). I purchased the Bodifying shamp and the Intense condit,
I did a preshamp olive oil treatment, warmed oil on damp hair for 1.5 hrs and 2 plastic caps, no heat
the shamp left my hair very clean, a lil stripped feeling, so i only lathered 1x.
Then i applied the intense condit... which is great! I dont know if it was b/c i got a trim that day or what, but my hair was soo easy to combout. My hair was soft afterwards.
Then i used the joico leave in.. mainly for its detangling properties. It did an okay job, but i prefer my motions detangling spray over it. I did a twist out using breakfree as my styling aid.. the twist out came out horrible!! /images/graemlins/ohwell.gif I'm not sure why, but i haven't had any good experiences with this lately. I had it down to a science in the summer /images/graemlins/confused.gif
I was wondering to those who have used the elucence AND elasta intense, how do they measure up to one another??? I think i got similiar results as those who rave about the elucence, except thwe elasta is much cheaper. I just wanted to throw that out there.
I'll try the above method in 2 days when i do a rollerset and see if i get better results that way.
