I think this may be more of a mind thing. Since I joined the community, I"ve switched to CO washing, with weekly CWC with heavy oilings. I raked through my hair care collection and chucked out any harsh detergent shampoos along with the majority of my cone products. So now, the only cones that I use regularly are my Aussie Cleanse + Mend conditioner, GF Triple Nutrition shampoo, and Aussie Hair Insurance Leave-in Conditioner Spray. I normally use the leave-in spray on just my braid tassel after towel-drying.
Now, my hair seems pretty mellow when it comes to what it likes. It seems to do fine whether I'm using cones or not. Granted, it seems a little more manageable and silky when I use cones, but even with my V05 conditioner, my hair is soft, manageable and I can use my daily oiling to achieve a silky, smooth finish.
The issue I'm having is that when I use, say, my Aussie Cleanse + Mend, I feel this sudden urge to clarify my hair the next day to get rid of the cones. Like I don't want the cones in my hair, even though my hair doesn't protest. It's like the idea of having cones coating my hair has me uneasy. It only really hits me when I'm applying the conditioner, and then when I go to shower the next day. I'm generally fine once I've decided to use cones, but when it comes to the next shower, I prefer to use a non-cone product so not to create too much build-up. And then I'm always relieved to do my weekly clarifying cause I can wash out all that gunk. I know, minimal use of cones won't create that much build-up, but I still enjoy the idea of clean, cone-free hair.
Has anyone else experienced this or am I just weird? :crazyq:
