1. I've gone back to using sulfate shampoos every week b/c I need to remove the cones from the Sabino or else nothing will be able to penetrate my hair. Not using the Sabino isn't an option because I am not going to walk around looking like a frizzball.
2. I've been blowdrying my hair on low/cool every week with the comb attachment. I NEED the comb attachment in my life. The blow drying tension method doesn't stretch my hair enough.
3. I don't know if heat protectant is recommended when blow drying on low/cool, but I don't use any. I've been using Darcy's Botanicals Curl Detangling Milk + Opal Hue's Honey Love Pomade.
4. I put a little of the shampoo on my hair when I wash it because products build up on my fine strands easily & I refuse to believe that simply letting the shampoo run down my hair during the rinse process removes all of the build-up.
5. I plan on flat-ironing my hair at least once a month when the weather gets cooler. I recently remembered that I had no single-strand knots when my hair was straight all the time. These single-strand knots are driving me UP THE WALL!!!
-I wash my hair in sections
-I keep my hair in twists & wear twistouts six times a month at most
-I am pretty good with moisturizing and sealing my ends
- I ALWAYS sleep with a silk scarf or satin bonnet,
-I comb my hair from the ends to the roots and I am gentle,
- I only use seamless combs,
- I've been dusting monthly as needed,
-I DC with heat every time I wash my hair (I only do it for 15 minutes because my hair will start to break if it is too moisturized)
-The products that I use have "good" ingredients and they seem to work for my hair
But these single-strand knots will not go away, and I am tired of fighting them. I know that, for the most part, naturals get knots, but the amount of knots that I have is ridiculous.
@ bebezazueta: Your hair looks GOOD!
@ the grease users: I hear you! I have Dax Light Pomade (blue grease), Dax Curling Wax & the Dax Pressing Grease. I plan to use the light pomade if I ever do a braidout this summer.
