Fell asleep without my loc sock last night. I didn't even dampen it like I usually so. Just fluffed and kept it moving.

I used Mill Creek Botanicals Jojoba conditioner last night for protein and went to sleep with a DC mix of Shea Moisture Purification masque, KCKT and water.
This morning I rinsed it out
and did a clay rinse. Oiled with grapeseed and sunflower oils, rinsed and applied diluted KCCC.

Well I didn't dc like I was supposed to I ran out of time and had to be somewhere by a certain time and I was not going to get another day out of my wash n go I did on last Sunday. So I cowashed with Aussie moist, and then I styled with mop top bamboo essence leave in conditioner and mop top curl custard. This was my first time using the mop top products. They smell good and they had nice slip. My hair also dried pretty fast.

I rinsed tonight which is day 4 and the second time I've rinsed since the 5th.
Twisted Sista Curl Cream gel under Sweet Soul Magic gel is a winner. I'm getting a ps on Tuesday so I will have to detangle on Monday but I could easily get a week out of this combo.

I have some twisted sista products. I wasn't that impressed; however it was very early in my natural journey like right after my bc. I need to pull them out and revisit now that I understand my hair better.
for mentioning.

I only like this new product. The Dream Curl Gel. The older products didn't impress me either.I have some twisted sista products.

This is my wash and go from yesterday. I didn't use any gel. My friend is locing her hair and she had an almost full jar of Cantu Coconut Curling Cream she wasn't gonna use so I took it off her. I've used it before and thought it was ok and I thought I'd give it another go.
I just applied it to my wet hair. Didn't really rake it, just mainly smoothed. I really like the way it turned out! It's frizzier and less defined than I normally have it but I don't mind because it made my hair look bigger. It looked bigger in real life; pictures never really seem to show how big my hair really is, which is annoying, but you get the gist.

It looks great. The wetting at the end of the shower was a game changer for me.Second day hair. Last night I slept with my headscarf. This morning I untied my hair but left a silk band over my braided front. I showered and let the water hit my hair as I got out. Can you tell I am loving your tips?

I'm looking for a hard protein to cut down on shedding. I have a lot of hair loss pretty sure the eco is to blame. I took break these last few days and am deciding to cut or let the spots catch up. I had a wig on but not giving up! My hair feels perfect today!

Have you tried alternatives to Eco?

Nothing outside of the Shea moisture curling soufflé. I used that today to finger coil then pull apart. I have a few I'm considering... As I am and garnier. They used to have a curl cream I really liked...

Happy Mothers day to all. The sun was beaming so I ducked down to capture Day 5 hair . Washing tomorrow and detangling so I can get my hair braided on Tuesday.

Definitely check out the as I am, but keep in mind it's not a thick gel like Eco it has a runny consistency.

Warning, I have no pics to show...I haven't mastered that yet. 
I did my first wash n go that I kinda like. I experimented over the weekend and found the technique and product that worked best for me.
I am 13 months relaxer free with short hair that still had some relaxed ends so I clipped and clipped until I think I may have gotten them all because my first wash n go on saturday was a no go.
I had been wearing my hair straight most of the time.
I looked at lots of youtube videos this weekend and experimented with product. What worked for me is actually very simple.
I wet my hair in the shower, put traders joes conditioner in and rinsed, but not all the way......then applied some oil and then my styler which is wetline extreme........shook my hair and then proceeded to finish my morning routine. My dh is still getting used to it, he appears to not be a fan (yet) but everyone at work today has complimented me on my hair. It will also take me a while to get used to it as well since I am used to wearing my hair straight.

@pelohello thank you. I use an eyebrow cake from Illamasqua and an eyebrow pencil from No.17 (chemist/ drugstore brand).

Tonight after spin class a lady came over and said she liked my hair and wanted to know how I got my hair like this and wanted to know if I had a rod set. I was like no I washed it and was trying to explain it she cut me off and was like "oh my hair wouldn't do that." I don't know why I even tried to explain.

Going to attempt a wash and go tomorrow. I hope it's okay if I post in here. I bought a dryer with a diffuser because I have no intention of air drying. Purchased Kinky Curly Knot Today and Curling Custard because I've lusted after a Kinky Curly wash and go since I decided to transition in 2008. I've done a few wash and go's before but I've always hated the shrinkage and told myself stretching with a diffuser/concentrator nozzle wasn't actually washing and going. I'm over that now.
Tomorrow is my wash day and it's time for a protein treatment so I'm planning on doing a protein prepoo, shampooing, DCing, and doing my wash and go in the shower. All that time is time I would normally put into my hair. If I can get my wash and go completely dry in less than 90 minutes it will be faster than my twist outs.
I only wash my hair once a week. Planning on doing my two fat flat twists to preserve my style like I preserve my twist outs. We'll see what happens.
