This is my 2nd time transitioning. And I'm experiencing something totally different!
The first time (I can admit now in hindsite) I didn't have the best regimen. I would shampoo my hair then apply conditioner and imediately detangle. Rather than let the conditioner sit in my hair for a while...not even a few minutes! I used grease as the main tool in my regimen. Which probably made my hair look moisterized because it made it shiny but it could have actually been dry. Anyway, my curls NEVER clumped together on their own. I had to use (another no no) a bucket of brown gel to get any kind of definition and it still wasn't frizz free.
Then I texlaxed
Now that I'm transitioning. I use pre-poo with amla oil once in a while. I shampoo then apply conditioner (I don't wash it out..) then comb after the conditioner has been sitting in my hair for a while (20 minutes). Sometimes I use a mixture of un-refines shea butter, t-tree oil and caster oil, as my "grease".
I've used diva smooth 2 times. The first time it made my new growth feel spongy and softer but didn't make my curls bigger. The second time (3 weeks ago) it has made my curls sooo much more defined and clumped together, and my curls are the same size they've always been. Even now my ng is so defined. (I never experienced it like this before)
So my question is, does Diva smooth work because it is a moisterizer, and my hair was probably dry before?
or
Is my hair clumping because it is better moisterised now and clumping because of all the new moisterising techniques I use now without the help of diva smooth?
or
Would Diva smooth have worked to clump my curls together on my dry natural hair before?
How does diva smooth work? What is it exactly that it does to your hair?
Anyone know????
