Shingling my friends hair! (LOTS of pics!)

[robot.]

DO NOT QUOTE THESE ENTIRE POSTS! KTHX!

A friend of mine was over for a weekend visit. I've known her for a few years now and she's always had long, gorgeous hair, but I've only ever seen it straightened (she's natural). I suggest she wash it here at my house and let me shingle it.

She prepoo'd with some of my Vatika Frosting for ten minutes. Then washed with ORS Shampoo, and DC'ed with AOHSR. Then, I applied shea butter to some parts of her hair (I just forgot some other sections, I was moving so quickly). On one side, we tried Proclaim Gel Activator and on the other, EcoStyler Gel.

Both sides came out beautifully! But we both prefer the ecostyler because her curls clumped together and we got more elongation. The proclaim worked nicely for defining, but not so much for stretching. But both sides are bouncy and soft.

Since she kept her hair straightened, she had a little bit of heat damage - her canopy was more wavy, with little definition, so we just tried scrunching. The side with the ecostyler, however, had much more definition!

She's about a 3C, I'm guessing, and BSL. Enough with the talking, onto the pictures.

Wet hair (from my camera phone, while the other camera was charging):

There is something about the color of her hair that makes it look so yummy.

Right?! It makes it look even thicker. And shiny, too.

I jealous - I don't have the patience for shingling. I just glop stuff onto large sections and rinse the excess.


Her hair looks great OP.

[HairGurl]

Oops sorry tell your friend I'm loving her curls! lol

I don't even have the patience to shingle my twa.

But while doing her hair, I had to break down a section into two more and then two more into that. It makes parting a lot easier and it goes even faster.
