I finally did a couple clarifying washes last night to get rid of the It's a 10 products I finished (I can't stand to throw stuff away...have to use it up). I let my hair dry without touching it. It felt icky....I'm not sure I could have put a comb through it.
When it was dry, I was pleasantly surprised that finger combing it and using my widetooth comb was pretty easy...a few little tangles in the ends, but not bad. I had a tiny, much needed, micro trim a week ago as a start to my growing process (I am super lucky to have a supportive hairdresser who has tailbone beautiful hair).
I think I am wavier than I thought. I haven't felt my hair this "fluffy" in a long long time...it feels sooooo good. This must be the cone-free feeling that everyone is talking about.
I did not feel a need to re-wet and condish...I think that is a good thing. I did oil the ends this morning though since they felt a little dry. My scalp was great too...not a bit of oiliness around the hairline that I always have with cones after 1 day.
What is the best way to keep my hair feeling this good? CO, CWC, clarify once a week or so? I'm sure it is now a trial and error process until I figure what works for me. I really want to enhance the waves...I made some of Kimberly's frizz spray last night and will try it tomorrow. Any more ideas are welcome. My biggest challenge will be keeping the highlighted hair strong...oil and protective styles?
Overall this is a "thank you for all the awesome info" and I can't wait to post a pic of 1 month growth in a few weeks!:) sorry for bad pic...will do better next time!
