Thanks ladies
My Revair Review:
I washed today after taking down the plaits that were in for 6 weeks.
I detangled the plaits with water, Giovanni direct leave in and coconut oil. I left on a plastic cap over night.
I washed with As I Am Coconut Co-wash then steamed and detangled with As I am Hydration Elation.
It took a long time to detangle in sections. I will probably relax at the end of August. I am 8 months post at present and this process was too difficult as the As I Am Hydration Elation conditioner can usually make the comb glide through, but not this time!
I t-shirt dried for 5-8 mins, added the As I Am Leave In and then a bit of Giovanni Frizz Be Gone in sections to use the Revair. It wasn’t moisturised enough. I then added Camile Rose Milk Leave In on top of the As I Am then the Giovanni Serum which was a little better.
The relaxed parts came out very straight, straighter than when I usually blow dry being that I am texlaxed and it usually remains frizzy. But the natural parts still had lots of texture and didn’t feel as soft as the relaxed part.
However, I realised that I should only use up to setting 4, not too much product, and a mixture of low and high heat for a max of 60 seconds. My ends tangled a few times on a higher setting.
It doesn’t really straighten the roots that well at 8 months post but after a headscarf tie down and Camile Rose Butter added lightly to the top it was much better.
If anyone has any more recommendations for heat protectants that leave the hair very soft and moisturised, can fight frizz and can better straighten 4b roots that would be much appreciated.
