I usually use aloe vera gel (once it becomes very thin) to thin out my Honeysuckle rose so it will lasts longer. After reading this thread and adding honey to the mix ( I dont add oils to any of my conditionrs I only use them to seal) my hair is like
. Usually after I rinse my conditioner my hair is soft but uber tangled, the only thing that helps is to add Kinky curly Knot today along with oils to seal. Today I did not have to do that.
Upon rinsing my hair felt soooooo silky I was like whoa. I added a little Jessicurl Too shea and my protein conditioner with some oils to seal and I was done. I was even able to comb through a little without losing a million strands again I thank you for this.
My mixture consisted of: this is enough for maybe 4 or 5 more applications on my at bottom of neck length hair
a little less than 3/4 cup Aubrey organics honey sucke rose conditioner
1/4 cup plus 3 T very thin Aloe vera gel
1 T raw honey
No steamer just put on a bag with a scarf and a shower cap for 30-40 min let cool for 10 mon and cool rinsed for a little over a min. Tis all
ETA 1/21/2010: Okay I have not had to moisturize since I deep conditioned on Sunday night and today is 1/21/09, so I have been able to go 4 whole days without anything. I could have gone longer but I got the itch to moisturize and seal I used half of what I normally use. My hair was so soft I could not keep my hands out of it and WHOA the stares I got because my hair was shining, I think I am addicted to this. This ish is a KEEPER.
