So I clarified for the first time in months. I know you'll all cringe when I tell you how: with body wash. Tone stuff, with cocoa butter and all sorts of other things, but body wash nonetheless. It was the only SLS product I had with no cones, and clarifying was becoming more of a necessity than a "I should probably get around to this".

And... wow. My avatar picture and signature ones are both with coney products. These are after clarifying (even if it took like fifteen minutes to detangle):

It looks so much thicker! :O This is the hair I remember having freshman year. Looks like I'm switching back to no-cones. Seriously, I had wondered why my hair felt so limp and was down to like... i thickness. Think I'm back up to ii now!

I had the same "ah-ha" moment... I really thought I liked cones.... thought I liked my hair with cones.... thought they made it better.... just for "what-ifs" I decided to clarify.... hmmmm... looked nice, much shinier.... switched to cone-free and SLS free... wow! what a difference... has been a couple weeks now and love it.
Not sure now why I thought cones were good...... :shrug:

I think I liked them because I could play with my hair more and not worry as much about damaging it... but it's probably better that I keep my hands OFF my hair! Hehe :)
