Thank you for replying! Has the other conditioner given you similar results?
I agree that the first day stringy hair is a bummer, but to be fair I get that with any gel that has hold. KCCC lasts me a while! 8 oz lasted me 2 months which is not too shabby for how much hair products I usually run through. I have the 16 oz which will probably last a good 4 months. The KCKT is another story though, I use that up so much faster, and 1 container only lasts me 2 weeks, 3 if I am lucky. I get them from IHerb using my customer credits which lowers the cost a bit, I was able to get the KCKT for 9 dollars a unit, and that's almost 25% less than any other retailer (Target, Sallys, etc). Nothing else worked as well for me consistently. Maybe when my heat damage is all gone, I will retry the products that have not worked now again and see if it works for me then... we will see
This is day 2, and it's usually very frizzy and a big poof ball, but with this combo, my hair looks decent still and wearable:

Do you usually airdry, diffuse, or sit under a drier?
thank you! you are so sweet <3 I use to think my current length will never be possible for me, but after years of consistency it happened. My goal now is to get rid of heat damage and just have healthy hair.Your hair is amazing
I'll never have the thickness or the curl pattern but maybe I'll achive the same length after 4 or 5 years
It seems that running water over my hands and going over frizzy sections works much better than spraying to reduce frizz for me. Especially for the top of head which gets the frizziest/driest. I noticed that KCCC reactivates nicely when water is added to dry hair as well, so I do not add any product otherwise it gets gunky and white flakes appear.
I have tried sitting under the drier once and it worked for me but... my hair is short (shoulder length) and yet I had to manoeuvre my ends into the path of the hot air to get them to dry. It's not easy to angle your neck such that your ends face the hot air. The drier also blew parts of my hurl up into itself. Thankfully none of these things lead to frizz or abnormal kinking. The disadvantages: I became very sweaty. I should not have showered before but after drying. It took as long as diffusing to fully dry. Advatages: both hands were free.
Me too I'm still experimenting but my day 1 hair can be good if I accept a little bit of frizz. If I eliminate frizz completely I will need to compromise on moisture which I'd rather not do if I can.
How about partially drying with diffuser? Might help air drying faster during the rest of the day.
I might have to try your conditioner. Do you love any DCs from SM?
Just wanted to say that I LOVE the manuka honey and mafura oil DC. It's amazing when used under heat. It's very comparable to TGIN honey miracle mask if you used that in the past.
I use one I bought one from Sally's.
i set it to the highest setting and stay at a reg distance (not as close as her) until the last hr when i get up close and move my hair around like she does. I also leave my hair alone while drying (except the last hr) and just let it dry the way it naturally falls until its like 80% dry and then for volume and seperation go ham like she does.
