*skipping around singing* I found it, I found it!!!!
Every other day:
Wen Cleansing Conditioner in the shower (either Fig, Lavender, or Sweet Almond Mint - it's working with any/all of them)
Leave-in: 3 pumps of Wen Fig mixed with coconut oil per side; 2 more pumps mixed with coconut oil for the length/ends
Spritz: aloe vera gel, glycerin, coconut oil, NTM Silk Touch and water - damp everywhere but ends - I saturate them
Seal: JBCO - smoothed over all, more on ends
Bun: I smooth my hair back, finger roll the ends end up to my nape and put a satin scruchie around it; no ponytail holder.
Tie it down overnight with my silk scarf
Morning, untie scarf. It doesn't even need to be moisturized in the morning, so I leave the bun in place until evening.
I'm using a MT/OCT mix, so evenings when I don't WEN I take the bun down, apply the mix to my scalp, then re-spritz and seal.
I comb through it once a week with a Jilbere shower comb. Once every 2 weeks, I use the Jilbere, then 2 progressively smaller combs to get rid of any shed hair (of which there is virtually NONE).
The bun gives a professional look for work and my NG is nice and flat. If I want a "fancier" look, I can take the bun out of the scrunchie and loosen the hair - it looks like I did a wash and go when I leave it hanging. I just leave the scrunchie around the wavy part.
