Hello ladies (and gentlemen) I'm having a bit of trouble, so I thought I'd ask the experts first, before I pill out my hair
So, I CO-washed my hair for the 3rd time today, with largely the same results as the two previous tiems...
And here is my problem: when wet it all feels as it should (as it normally does when I shampoo and condition) then it dries and.... The most frustrating thing ever! My scalp and roots are fine and dandy, clean, soft and shiny... and my lengths are matted, stringy and sticky
First time it happened I figured I had to be doing something wrong because my roots were also kinda greasy , it happens when you try something new, no problem. So I tried again, went back to the instructions here on LHC, the scalp and hair on my crown area nice, clean and soft everything from ear level down stringy and greasy, so try again. Come the third attempt all of my scalp and roots (save for a small patch on the back of my head) is nice and clean and my ends are so sticky I can't french braid because the ends stick together and snag.
So here is what I do and use:
Cone free conditioner.
Take a good amount slightly diluted (just a few drops o fwater to make it a bit runnier) in an old dye bottle (the ones with the narrow nozzle) and apply generously to the whole scalp until slick, then massage well put it up in a showercap for a few minutes and then rinse well (I rinsed until my hair felt squeaky)and then applied a bit of conditioner to the ends, rinsed well again.
I tried both coating the lenghts as well and not, but the result didn't change.
I did use a different conditioner before the final rinse, a cone free as well, could that be a problem??
Do you have any idea as to what might be the problem?
