Anyone ever try this ?
I decided it was time to clarify but since I CO wash I just don't have shampoo around anymore - and really didn't want to use it anyway. What to do then ?
So I just mixed a teaspoon of baking soda right into the conditioner I was planning to shampoo with (Suave naturals ). Left it on for about 60 seconds - rinsed well and followed with a bit of good conditioner.
I usually leave my cleansing condish on for a good hour or so but didn't feel like it.
The thing is the results were better than good - they were great. It is smooth, soft and has that super moisturized feel to it - kind of heavy but in a good way because it is also laying nicely.
No flyaways or frizz at all and it is already half-way dry (takes a full day to dry and is usually BIG for at least a day or two)
I have thick, heavy, wurly and frizz prone hair so anything that smooths and tames it down for me is a HUGE improvement.
One thing I noticed during the rinse out was that it kind of felt coated - like there was a slight layer of oil on it and this may be due to overdoing the defrizz potion this week ( Jessica's Aloe and Oil type - I use Monoi de Tahiti and Jojoba in mine).
So I decided to not use any kind of a leave in and see what happens. So far it is excellent, doesn't need any at all.
So maybe it is the conditioner/clarifier results on it's own or maybe it's the combo of having a fair amount of oil & aloe already on the hair (not enough that you could tell though).
Whatever it is - I am going to repeat the process next time as I am loving it.
Will try to get a pic.
