Lately my hair has been very dry and tangly with "velcro ends". So, I decided to try clarifying for the first time yesterday to get all the cones out. After washig my hair with a clarifying shampoo, I let my hair dry and couldn't believe the results! My hair was a little dry and quite flat, but it was as smooth and silky as it was when I was a child. It didn't tangle at all when I combed it! Since it was dry, I did a honey lightening treatment (because that seems to hydrate my hair better than anything else), and then sealed in the moisture with my usual coney conditioner. But when my hair dried, it felt dry and tangly again as if I hadn't even clarified it :(
So this is what I love about cones:
~They make my hair shiney
~They seal the cuticle of my hair while keeping it light (both in color and texture. Even a tiny bit of oil weighs my straight baby fine hair down)
~They make my hair fluffy, therefore giving it some much needed body (otherwise it's flat against my head)
This is what I hate about cones:
~They make my ends feel like velcro
~Although they lock moisture in, they also lock it out which makes it dry
~They make my hair very tangly
So if I were to go cone-free, is there another oil-free way I could seal the cuticle down so I would't loose any moisture? Or do you have any other advice?
