Default Trying to Figure It Out

Two days ago (11/29), I washed with Pantene Moisture Renewal (a discontinued product), DT with my Aphogee-avocado mixture, rinsed and conditioned with Pantene Moisture Renewal (also discontinued), used Pantene Curly condish as a leave in, sealed with Blue Magic, and styled with Garnier Curl Creme.

On Wed (11/30), I moistened my hair in the shower, then refreshed with Pantene Curly LI and sealed with Cantu Shine and pic-ed it out. GREAT 2nd day hair.

Thursday (12/1), I shampooed with Nature Fusion (my freebie from Curly Nikki), DT with Neutrogena, PC as a leave in, sealed with Blue Magic, styled with Garnier and used my soft brush for curl def. Will wrap tonight and refresh tomorrow.

Hey HonnyBrown,
looks like you got a crush on Pantene
You should keep experimenting until you find the right regimen to stick with.
For now, I am veeeery low maintenance because I am lazy, but slowly finding my staple products.
I'll be following your blog

Thanks Houda.

Pantene Curly works well for me. The PJ in me is always looking for something new.

The Nature's Fusion shampoo did my hair pretty bad. I won't be using that again.

I saw APHogee this evening. I wondered about it.
Those are a lot of products, Honny. What combinations do you use the most/work the best for you?

Karemel,

That's what I am trying to figure out. Pantene Curly gives me the best results consistently. I'm looking for an alternate routine.

This morning, I washed with Pantene Moisture Renewal, deep conditioned with ORS and capped for a few hours. Rinsed, used Pantene Curly as a leave in, sealed with Blue Magic and styled with GF.

My hair is soft and doesn't have any frizz. My curls feel mildly thirsty.

Thanks, Ms. Hood!

Cyn asked me if I ever thought about blogging. I thought why not keep my journal here?

I've never heard of Indian Hemp, outside of the times you mentioned it. I won't ask about the cost; you and I have the same principles!

I just finished my first dry twist outs. I will take them down on Monday.

I used Fantasia IC Gel.
