Before I tried the CO for a month, I did the 'spring test'. I found I needed protein.
The spring test is where you take a wet hair, wrap it around both your index fingers (like floss?) and pull about 1/2 inch (or 1.2 cm)...if it springs back to it's previous condition you are all good.
If it stretches and remains stretched, you need protein.
If you stretch it, and it breaks, it needs moisture.
After a month of CO, my hair was springy and happy. :D My last wash, I used CWC with a coney commercial product...now my hair is just snapping? BUT it looks better... :confused: smoother, straighter, shiney and tangle free.
I guess I should blame this on the cones? *shakes head* EVIL deceptive cones!! I am going to go back to CO and see if it improves...I would rather have less 'beautiful' hair for more healthy hair.
Anyone else tried the spring test?
