Changes to regular process - I forgot to add Giovanni deeper moisture after I got out of the shower, I scrunched in my Original Moxie flaxseed gel instead of my Mop Top gel, and I mostly air dried, even though that takes forevah!

V05 clarifying conditioner
Grapeseed oil
Giovanni leave in conditioner
SM curl enhancing smoothie
Original Moxie Just Gel

This morning I sprayed in some Curls daily moisturizer.

So oooo. I'll be coming out of these crochet braids sooner than later.

Bored.com already. Missing my hair. I think it's only been two weeks.
I'm not even going to fool myself into even thinking I would be able keep braids in for any prolonged amount of time. I think I have enough of braided styles during my transition.

Since I wasn't doing anything special today and was fine with throwing my hair up in a puff if it looked crazy, I decided to revisit a bunch of products that have been on the shelf collecting dust either because I didn't think they worked or because I'm not sure how to actually use them. Yeah, I used a bunch of bad products in my hair all at once hoping that somehow they'd play well together. My puff doesn't look awful; it just doesn't look as good as when I use my regular products.

SM Tahitian Noni and Monoi Oil Smooth and Repair Rinse Out Conditioner - still a dud. It actually tangled my hair. Into the garbage it goes.

APB leave-in conditioner-not quite a dud, but Giovanni leave in does a better much job for me. I have two partial bottles of APB. I'll just finish using them and leave them alone in the future.

SM Coconut and Hibiscus Curl & Style Milk - still doesn't beat the SM curl smoothie. I think I finished this container, so I just won't re-buy.

Jakeala flaxseed gel - I bought this recently to use as a gel, but the bottle says that it's really best for refreshing curls. I used it on top of everything else, and it has no holding power. I won't give up on this yet.

I still have a bunch of As I Am and Taliah Waajid products to retry or trash. Maybe next weekend.

I didn't have anywhere to go yesterday, so I decided to experiment. My Herbal Essence Conditioner makes my curls clump, so I used that as my leave in. I also wanted to try a heavier gel to see if I could get some hang time, so I used pink Eco Styler Gel, even though it has only worked on my edges for buns and puffs in the past. Epic fail. I got dull, mushroom hair that flaked ALOT and took 12 hours to dry. I won't do Eco Styler for a wash n go again, unless it is an updo

I forgot to take a pic once it dried. I have a pic of it wet.

Went to a barber and took 2 more inches off the top.my only complaint with having short hair is that if my curls are too defined they clump and my scalp is exposed lol and I look bald in some areas.

In this pic I have curls blueberry bliss curling jelly and the blueberry control paste. Horrible for hold long term. But it works great in conjunction with a gel. And I love the way it smells.

This morning a wash/cleansing conditioner using Wen, rinsed and then put more Wen in for my leave in. My oil was Sleek and Shine Anti-Frizz serum and my styler/curler was Taliah Waajid Curly Curl Cream. I used a tangle teezer brush while in the shower to activate my curls by swirling my hair. I loved the way it turned out.
