Recipe for Happy Curls (Texturized Hair)

[Nonpareil]

Moisturizing, Curl-Encouraging Conditioner - Preferably Suave Humectant (do detangling and comb out now)

Rinse In Shower - Do not disturb the curls, let them clump/form

On soaking wet hair, use NTM Silk Touch Leave-In

Then apply Blue Magic (or African Gold) Curl Activator Gel for Dry Hair - use generous gobs, with head flipped over - apply/scrunch in from the back/nape of neck to top, then flip hair back, apply to sides, top, back - try to coat every curl!

Then apply coconut oil to entire head of hair.

Allow hair to dry up to 90%. You can then use a dryer to pull and stretch out the curls - or you can let it dry completely and scrunch and pull the curls until they are soft (the mild crunch is temporary - just sets the hair - the oil will break the set and make it soft)

Result: Shiny, silky and moisturized, well-defined curls that will last all week, even after being slept on - Even starts to look better as time passes!

My hair has been at its best this week as a result of this - perfect looking wash-n-go that has lasted all week - so I just thought I'd share.

Hi Virtuasis /images/graemlins/wave.gif
I just peeked in your album and your corrective texturizer looks great. Your hair is very curly and pretty. Your lace wig looks great also, that color is very pretty. Keep up the good work.

Oh ANd I forgot to add y'all - when my hair dried it had movement!!! The curls moved in full swing - on windy days, they were blowing in the wind! If you'd like to see pics of the results - see the "'Dos" folder in my album - it's the wash-n-go with the flat twists in the front - there are also pics in my corrective texturizer folder.

I'll try the Blue Magic Activator since I haven't found the right one for me yet. Sometimes World of Curls makes my hair too soft so the curls don't clump. Stay Sof Fro keeps my curls hydrated but again if I use too much it gets weighed down /images/graemlins/ohwell.gif.

@ccd: I think it's supposed to be Beyoncé being mushed by Jay.
