Hi guys and girls,
Let me start by saying that I really love this board and learned so much already.
Now since I'm reading up on everything here I found out that I'm not a straighthair like I always thought but a wavy !
Today I wanted to lighten my (hennaed) hair a bit with a honey lightning. So I washed my hair as always with a soapbar and then applied the mix of honey, cardemon and distilled water. I'm not sure my hair is lighter but I did my first plopping too (:p) and now my hair looks really nice !
Only problem is that I didn't really wash the honey out, I rinsed it out and missed a couple of spots :D I don't want to shampoo it again as it is quiet prone to frizzing. Do you experts think I can put coconut oil in it for the night and then use soapnuts, rhassoul or shikakai to wash it out ? I used rhassoul and shikakai before but that was when I was still convinced I had straight hair and I can't really remember the effect. I have the impression that my hair frizzes a lot so that I need some oils or a really gentle wash to keep my hair happy. I don't use conditioner because I can't really find one I'm happy with and my hair doesn't react to well on CO washes.
I hardly ever comb my hair, but I comb it in the shower. Since I don't use condish I comb it while it all sudsed up. Any tips there ?
And while I'm asking : I can't see the photo's for the hairtyping (think it is my computer but can't seem to fix it) I wanted to see types 1C through 2C ...
Thanks !
