It doesn't fit with my goals either
Is your hair high porosity? I’m pretty sure mine is and that’s why it dries out so fast.

Verdict is
Carol's Daughter condish is trash and the leave-in spray may have made my hair drier when using it. The low poo is nice, but I don't usually have a shampoo problem.
I don't know how I feel about the Okay Hair Sorbet. The ingredients are great. I want to love it, but it flaked when I used it over the leave-in spray . I used it for my twist n'curl and the results are good. It's not as moisturized as I would hope, but I did use the low poo twice and the second time was without using a conditioner.
Does anyone shampoo/low poo (whatever) and skip the conditioner step to go straight to the leave-in?
I only ask because of my low porosity hair being so prone to product build up and really bad flaking. I'm thinking that my hair will better able to absorb whatever leave-in/styler I use because it's kinda prepped for it.
Yeah my hair dries out quickly as well. Even if I keep it up it dries out in 3 days and I haven't found a way to moisturize it that works. So now I'm rinsing my hair every other day to try to keep it from drying out. I need to just accept that is how it is going to be.
No I'm low porosity. Similar results. I dont get enough water into my hair.Is your hair high porosity? I’m pretty sure mine is and that’s why it dries out so fast.
No since I rinse every other day and not using a real shampoo I don't use oil. I used it when I tried LOC. My hair isn't a fan. I do seal my ends with castor oil when I twist it up.Are you using oil every day?
Wow I had this same thought yesterday. I’m giving myself to the end of this year for growing (which will probably get me at hip length) and then I’m gonna maintain there for a while so I can get rid of some of this old dry hair. Hopefully with increased moisture I won’t feel like ill be cutting for a long time.Either when I reach APL or at the end of the year, I'm done with length checks, length challenges, length anything. My hair has been 1 big job with very little pay and I'm tired of dealing with it. I'm hosting a challenge now but at the end of the year I'm done. Just going to focus on trying to get my hair moisturized some how, some way this year.
I would like to have that problem. Lol. My goal was bsl or wl but I'm not going to even bother.Wow I had this same thought yesterday.

So I decided to Botox the majority of my hair and tanninoplasty my edges. Very happy with my results.
You Botoxed your hair?? How does that work? I am intrigued.
Forgive me if this is something everyone knows about, I live under a rock lol
I have always been too lazy to deep condition my hair. At most I would do a dry DC overnight before I washed my hair.
I wonder if I should give DCing a try. But I just can’t see myself doing it on a regular basis. Adding 30-60 minutes to my wash day is not at all appealing.
Maybe I could do it during my mid week wash when I wear a damp bun to work. I could DC alll day in my bun.
What are some of your favorite DCs?
I think two weeks is my sweet spot with my mini twist. They were soft and all I needed to do was moisturize every few days. I took it out for a twistout for week three, and my hair got very dry after 3 days. I am sticking with mini twists for the remainder of the spring and summer.
I’m starting to realize this. My hair doesn’t like being out. :-(
