I mixed a tablespoon of baking soda in with moisturizing shampoo and lathered up twice. Then put in some Ion Extreme Moisture Nurturing Creme (from Sally's).
Didn't even use heat, just slapped it in while I showered.
When I rinsed, my literally detangled itself, it was SO SOFT! As i was rinsing (with my hands), all the hairs just fell into place. It was awesome!!!!!
I believe it was the baking soda that made all the difference
I'm a renegade cone-user, so this is definitely becoming a staple for me!!!!
