My first curlformer set. Love the results! Plus the only product i used was whipped shea butter! It got my hair nice and stretched for a trim. They were easy to put in but annoying to wear 76 of. I'll probably rock them for a week or so then bun or do a twistout on them. Overall I'm super impressed.

@BraunSugar for the week? Do you leave it in all week or take it down each night and bun again in the morning?

Foxglove I leave the bun in for as many nights as it will stay without looking too crazy. I always keep the ponytail part in for the whole week. If the bun gets super crazy looking then I will take it down and re-wrap the bun. I do the entire style with just my hands and use gel and a scarf to keep my edges lying down some.
 
My hair today...Just something simple rolled hair on two orange flexible rods, one one each side and removed them in the AM.

manter26 what happened w/the Joico? Was it a sulfate shampoo or conditioner that did it? Technique. Hair looks good!

virtuenow The k-pak shampoo was okay. It has sulfates in it. My only complaint is it suds too much and it took forever to rinse out. My hair probably needed a dime sized amount at most and I usually use a palm-ful of shampoo for each half of my hair, lol. The k-pak conditioner had absolutely no slip at all. It made my hair kinda hard and very webby. Both are protein products and I only use protein but I think it was too much for my hair (regular light protein + kpak :nono:). The pH on each is listed at 4.5-5.5 and that's probably too high for my high porosity hair.

I've DC'd and added a bit of lemon juice to some water in a spray bottle and that helped a little. My hair is still frizzier than normal and my curls are not clumping. Hopefully all is back to normal in a few weeks.
 
Impressed with my progress, I decided to treat my hair to a deep conditioning treat on dry hair. 'plan to keep on overnite, in shower cap/ walmart baggie, LOL.
'used a combo of gvp conditioning balm and kenra moisturizing condish...

First time doing loose twists.

Love it! Wish mine looked as good as this! May do some next week.


Side note: my contribution for this week.

2 flat twists. The other side is identical.

BraunSugar when do you moisturize during this? In trying to get a bun routine going. Need ideas and tips. ;)
