not dry it just doesn't moisturize... its like strictly shiny lol... its like.. frontin... like your hair should be so supple and moist after but its really exactly how it was before, except now shiny lol
and i clarify every time i poo now, so it comes out cool...
my girlfriend uses it every time we go out she's like a 3b with a bonelax and it doesn't weigh her down or anything... she looks salon fresh lol
OK
that's what mine does, too! It makes it shiny but that's it, but I can't use it everyday, and only a coupla times during the week or it starts to feel dry even if I add jojoba oil at night to try and counteract. prolly the cones...I usually try to use it later in the week, like closer to wash day after my hair has gotten a 'lil stale
Will the pineapple work with twists & WNG? I find that no matter what I do my hair flattens out at night. My twists flatten, my WNGs flatten, my twist outs flatten every time I wear a bonnet or not. Even the curls on the ends of my twist flatten but I can't rewet them or else they frizz.
Thanks..FM for this thread. I'm getting so frustrated with my hair only lasting like 1 day maybe 2 at most before looking completely flattened and unsalvagable.
Thanks ladies for all the tips and ideas to keep styles and most importantly stop SSK.
I dunno. If I do twists, i just lay them down flat against my head and they are flat in the am, but it's ok bc they are twists. When I first BC'd, I couldn't re-wet my ends either, bc 1) they had scab hair/some relaxed ends left and 2) it would frizz.
So, I cut the remaning scab hair/relaxed ends off and now when I rewet, I only dampen/mist
the ends while still in twists, do very first thing in the am, (like before I brush my teeth) and apply pure shea butter to the damp ends of the twists and re-curl/smooth the ends. I try to get a smooth coil on the end of the twist with the shea butter. Then I let air dry until I am going where ever for that day (usually like 30m-1hr) and then untwist or either pin the twists up and go.
This did 2 things for me, it helped me have a more defined style (when i took them down, or even pinned up, it just looked neater) and it also made my ends feel better and not as dry during the day. I've been doing this for about a week, so I'm hoping that over time, this will help my ends stay moisturized, so I can retain some growth
