see for me, I think it's the coarseness that causes my breakage because it's hard to keep the hair moist, therefore it breaks.
I use CON shampoo and it makes my hair feel so soft but after I DC it's back to feeling dry again
I always wanted to try the John Freda clear glaze.
The one time I tried silicon mix, my hair was dry and dull.
I never understood the purpose of hot oil treatments. Because oil molecules can't penetrate the hair strand and therefore does not moisturize. So how does a hot oil treatment work?
U know what? Maybe you should try using cream of nature shampoo AFTER you deepcondtion, a couple of people do it on the fine hair section, and i've seen it in about 5 other peoples fotkis and regimens.
No conditoner i've ever tried left my hair feeling moisturized after i rinse at all, they all seem like i wast of time and left my hair tangled or dryish and dull also....So for the past year i've been conditoning then using cream of nature, then i found out other people do it too. In the end my hair is left detangled and soft.
For about a month i stopped using conditoner all together because i thought they were pointless, it was good for a second, then my hair started getting kind of "fly away" and a weird frizzy/dry.
So i started using ORS packs becore shampooing with CON, and my hair felt much more "hydrated" and behaved better for some reason.
Then i tryed Silicon Mix before CON, and my hair just feels really really soft.
You should really try the John frieda clear glaze, my hair never shines that much, but it does give me some shine where after i use it i think "dang my hair is kinda shiny there" and then i remember what i used.
But the reason i really use it is how soft it makes the hair.
Well oil is just as needed as moisture and protein, for the most part, it doesnt need to penetrate and wont moisturize at all. The two major things that make our coarse hair feel rough and look dull is the cuticles sticking up, and lack of oil.
On silky hair, the cuticles lay down, and the oil lays on top of the cuticles, helping to hold moisture in the hair, protect the cuticles, lubricate them and keep them smooth and from tangling with each other, and shine. They are like our natural silcone or clear rinse treatment.
On our coarse hair, the cuticles are laying up, the moisture is not staying in our hair, and there is no oil---so aside from us having extra cuticle layers that will make hair dull and cuticles that stick up that will make hair tangly and rough,--The lack of oil is also helping our hair to be dryer because the little moisture that is inside of our hair is not protected and held in by oil, and there is no oil to lubricate the shaft and help with tangles, and theres none on the shaft to help with the shine
Before you put your conditoner on your hair, try putting some oil on there first, then deepconditoning.....after i did it once, my hair was actually easier to detangle, dried straighter, felt better, and had more shine. I could tell that my hair really needed it.
It doesnt seem to benefit me though if i use it after moisturizing.
I always use alot of conditoner and oil, then use CON and my hair is left with just the right amount of everything, and i just moisutrize daily and my hair feels silky, and is pretty shiny.
I dont know how to get those results any other way though
