After prepooing, pooing, and DCing . . . I applied CurlyProverbz DIY Oil and the Naptural85 DIY flaxseed gel and dried with a diffuser.
I have less definition than I prefer, but I was very light-handed (last time I was too heavy-handed and got snowing with the DIY gel).
I'm going to keep practicing with the gel application: It takes
not no time to make and it's very healthy.
Sorry for the apparent mean mug: It's not really a mean mug.
I gotta say: Eco Styler (free sample from hair conference) gave me 5-day definition (I eventually just washed it out . . . I could have worn it longer), and my hair was so defined and my ends so "protected/shellacked" that tangling was virtually non-existent.
Too bad I can't staaaaaaaaaand the ingredients. I don't know you guys: I am so torn. Over the long haul, the Eco might be healthier for my hair, but who KNOWS what the ingredients do to the body long term.
