So update....I got the KCCC at Whole Foods (thanks mocabella) and I looked at the youtube videos (thanks Rain20)...mainly the ones posted by Str8isis. At first, I was like "oh, no...just as I thought, this isn't going to work for me" and I proceeded to two-strand twist my hair which was my backup plan. BUT, I decided to give it one more try, and this time used more water, and VIOLA! It actually DOES do what everyone claims it does...defines your curls. The key seems to be to literally have the hair soaking wet, like Str8isis suggests in the video. In her video, she's actually using it in the shower with dripping wet hair, but I used it from the sink and was trying not to wet the floor up too much, but I think the key is to saturate the hair with water. Now the only problem is my hair is still VERY dry, and that's after using a diffuser for several minutes several times (I started this project earlier in the day and have been stopping to do stuff in between). I'm just hoping it's dry enough that I don't have to go to bed with a wet head or wake up in the morning for work with a frizzy afro ball. I don't have a hood dryer to sit under. Anyway, we'll see. So far, I'm happy with the results! Next time I would probably try this on a Friday, in the shower, and allow plenty of time for drying.
