I shampooed my hair yesterday and today with Nexxus Therappe moisturizing shampoo and conditioned it only with Soft and Beautiful Hair Moisturizing Complex (HMC) conditioner. I left it on for 5 minutes under my plastic cap in the shower and then I rinsed it out (even though I didn't want to).
Next I was rummaging in my bathroom cupboard for a moisturizer and I thought Let me try out this conditioner as a moisturizer and see what happens.
So....I squeezed a little conditioner out and worked it into my hair (this conditioner leaves your hair very soft even the new growth) and then I sprayed on some Infusium 23 leave-in conditioner (diluted in a spray bottle) all over my hair and then I combed out gently with my big black comb (use K-cutter also), then sprayed some more leave-in and then gently combed the hair through with a rattail comb (I emphasize gently and this step is OPTIONAL). The comb should go through your hair including the new growth quite easily. Then I put my hair into a ponytail with some hair bands I made by cutting up some old black stockings. I plaited the ponytail and put it in a baggie. Then I put a stocking foot over the baggie, then a scrunchie round it and I was good to go.
Now you can tie your hair down with a satin scarf if you wish or just use the softest (I emphasize softest) boar bristle brush to brush your hair neat only once you have applied the conditioner and leave-in conditioner in your hair. If you're having problems with your edges laying down, just add some more of the Soft & Beautiful HMC.
If you try this out, you will get minimal to no breakage (I mean one or two strands), soft hair and overrall you will save your strands. It also defines your hair depending on your curl pattern. I am now at 10 weeks post and I am finding my hair a lot easier to manage in the 2 phases.
I went out and got 4 tubes of the Soft and Beautiful Hair Moisturizing Complex conditioner today and a few scrunchies for the baggie bun.
A few days ago, I tried Nexxus Humectress conditioner but it doesn't have the same effect because the Soft & Beautiful HMC is a lot more slippery, I find.
You have to try this out, especially if you're trying to stretch your touch-up for any considerable amount of time.
ETA: I'm in the daily washing challenge for April so I anticipate that this is going to work out great, doing this daily.
Also, try using a little Care Free Curl Gold Instant Activator with moisturizers & Care Free Curl Gold Hair & Scalp Spray for more moisture and softer hair.
PS: Modify as you please.
