So, it *kinda* looks like a jheri curl (pics included)

I did my first wash today.

Well, actually I did an overnight DC followed by a co-wash.

I was amazed how my curls just POPPED after the DC

When my hair was still sopping wet, I applied some Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Style Conditioning Milk and followed with some Carol's Daughter Tui Jojoba Shea Butter Sheen . . . used both in my pre-BC wash and go's.

My hair is soft and beautiful . . . the only thing is that my curl pattern kinda looks like a jheri curl

So, I salvaged the look with a headband/fascinator. I think tonight I will try to twist or finger coil or something, sleep on it, and the see what I've got in the morning.

Either way, I'm still pleased

LOVIN' MY NATURAL HAIR!

Here are some pics throughout the process . . .

After the overnight DC

Freshly co-washed (from the side)

Freshly co-washed . . . from the front. (When I first got the BC, one of the stylists complained that my stylist didn't cut enough in the front and that I still had some relaxed ends up there. As you can see, she was right. So I went ahead and grabbed a scissor and handled my business.)

Brushed back my edges with some aloe vera, added a fascinator to complete the look. (Sorry that it's sideways . . . don't know how to fix it!)

ETA - Paging Nonie, whom I've anointed my natural hair care big sista!

It does look a lil like a Jheri Curl wet but I really think they look nice and am glad you are happy with it.

Glib Gurl, I didn't get your mention. I loved jheri curls. The juice dripping is what gave them a bad name otherwise the curls were cute IMO.

Your hair looks pretty! I don't know if you were paging me to also help with the sideways pic, but if you were, here is the URL of it upright: http://tinyurl.com/78zrjrq
