New Hair Products


I did my hair a section at a time and used banana clips to hold the remaining hair back.

I wet my hair with water form the tap.

After the leave-in spray I added this cream moisturizer


After wetting my hair I added this leave in  conditioner NEW (for me)


I used this gel to seal and "shingle" my hair.
Ok so I didn't totally stick with 100% natural products. I just haven't found a natural hair product with excellent hold yet.


When I used the Jane Carter products by themselves my hair was at first soft and touchable. Once it dried my hair felt dry. When I shingled my hair with just the Jane Carter's leave in and added a cream conditioner to the mix my hair felt better, softer, touchable. When I first shingled it, it hung so beautifully, but then came the shrinkage, agghhhh.

I would definitely do this again. Just look at the definition. It lasted about a day though. I felt like clay face on Batman. The episode when he was with the female doctor and she made him a shell and later he burst from it any way. My natural hair is like that. I can style it in the most beautiful way, but when that humidity hits it like outside or in the shower it's all over.




This is my hair with all the product before it dried.






Flat Twist-out Results


I flat twisted my hair in rows and then I did bantu knots on the ends.

Co-washing

I tried co-washing for about a week. I found that it is not for me. My hair felt really dry. No more co-washing for me. I did try a flat two strand twist out and it came out pretty neat. I will post pictures. I coiled my hair last week and wore a coil out for the week. I did not take pictures, wish I had though. I will next time.
