UPDATE week 1 Curly Girl Method! How do I run the method: Right now I use only curl friendly products and dry my hair after showering with a microfibre cloth. Okay, I don't have a satin pillow, don't put my hair in a tail every night, don't use a special comb/brush and brush my hair every morning. So whether I stick to the method... Nope. The first week I wash my hair alone almost every day with a co-wash. A co-wash means washing your hair only with a conditioner (no shampoo). In addition, I put in a hair mask 3 to 4 times a week. After showering, I use a leave-in every time and every morning I use the gel. My Experience: My hair is fat!!! Wow this is a really big minus for me. It looks unkempt and dirty to my eyes. On the internet, I looked up the reason for this: “If you're going to conditioner washing for the first time, take into account a transition period. Your hair needs to get used to the fact that shampoo doesn't strike it completely dry anymore. It takes an average of 2 to 6 weeks until the oil balance of your scalp is adjusted. Your hair may be pretty oily at that time because your scalp is still totally upset due to frequent use of sulphate shampoos.” Let it go fast please! I'm hesitating to buy a CG friendly shampoo to reduce the oily effect a little. However, I do think my hair has actually been transformed a little bit. My stroke is a bit more vivid and even though it looks fat, I see that my hair gets a bit more volume. What products do I use: - Co-wash: Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus - mask: Cantu TXTR Moisture Mask - Leave-in: Kinky-Curly Knot Today leave-in - Gel: KeraCare Moisturizing Curling Jelly
