OMG!! I finally understand the hype!

So last night, because my bathroom sink was clogged (not my fault this time lol) I applied my leave-in and sealed while still in the shower, using the shower head to keep the hair wet as I applied product. I set the hair in my usual 2 braids and tied it up for the night. When I saw my hair this morning I was like !!!!! It was fantastic! It was so soft, almost completely frizz free, and just all around wonderful. Clearly there is something to this whole shower styling thing. I undid the braids and put it in a messy side bun. My dad saw me this morning and was like, "your hair looks really nice today."

YAY!!! Clearly my new technique for night time setting.

That's great, I finally learned not to be scared of my Denman D3 in the shower. My hair turns out perfect when I use it in the shower for my pony.

So you did that and your hair was dry in the morning? Every time I try to seal over dripping wet hair its still wet when I get up the next morning.

Congrats on finding something great!!! Soooo, what exactly did u do? Seal after conditioner? No conditioner at all? What did u use to seal? Come on... DISH!!

Did you moisturise and seal whilst the water was still running through your hair? Or did you moisturise and seal immediately after wetting? I'd like to try

sorry guys...had to cook. lol. i should have taken pics, but i am always in a rush in the morning.

anyway...

after washing out my cowash conditioner, i clipped my hair up in 4 sections, 2 per half. i started with one of the back sections, put some conditioner in my hand, ran the hair under the shower head for like 2 seconds, and immediately put the conditioner in while it was dripping. i then added a bit more conditoner. i made sure to smooth the conditioner evenly over the section. then i did the same thing to the front section of that half. after i was done with the half, i grabbed a little shea butter and sealed the ends of the half together, then braided the half up immediately. repeated for other side. got out the shower and tied my hair in a satin scarf.

it was still slightly damp in the morning, but not wet if that makes sense. it just felt so...WOW! i almost wanted to wear the braids out like that, but i am too into bunning. lol
