WARNING this is long.
I use low-medium heat to blowdry anywhere from weekly to once every other week.
My steps:
1- Shampoo first- still using elasta QP creme conditioning.. or Nasaab black soap.. or both. Just depends on how my hair feels.
2- Use protein for 10-15 minutes in the shower (Joico Kpak resonstructor or Megatek) then rinse.
3- Apply DC for overnight conditioning (I mix 1 pack of ORS hairepair nourishing conditioner with 4 spoons of silicon mix pearl conditioner in a bowl. Mix. Then apply, detangle and distribute with a comb, then twist each section) I'm left with 8-12 twists.
After rinsing the next day..
1- Spray on Aphogee pro vitamin leave-in conditioner -- let that sit for 20 minutes or so
2- Apply my leave in which is Diluted AO HSR (50:50 mix with water)
3- Apply Wild growth hair oil lightly on each section this oil leaves my hair sooo darn soft. I noticed that the bottles at Sallys in comparison to the bottles at the BSS do not have that nasty rancid smell.
4- Blow dry in small sections. I use low-medium heat the 1st "pass" and then during the 2nd pass, I hit my ends with the cool setting.
I have 2 blowdryers.. an expensive $200+
Chi Rocket that I bought back in my relaxed days.. and this
conair inifinity styler that I paid $30 for on Amazon..They now charge $80+ for it which is no bueno
erplexed .. but I'd pay the increase if I had to.
Hands down the styler wins with my natural hair.
I was watching
this video on Youtube when I decided I just HAD to have it (please fast forward to 1:15-3:15 of the video.. everything else on that video is
a fail. Sorry if you are a member here).
Thats about it.
I proceed to twist my hair in sections with Oyin dew (I mix this with palm oil & Apricot Kernel oil) and I'm good to go until my next session. My hair stays extremely moisturized. I usually just oil my scalp every few days and get some oil on my ends.
