I tried the glycerin and aloe and distilled water mix
and my hair is not dry but its a total wreck,, it wouldnt get straight,, and the curls are frizzy as heck LOL,, i wont be using it again,, im gonna have to wear it pulled back till thursday when i can finally wash again ,, i think i just gave my hair too much moisture and its too coated to straighten,, well thats a dissapointment,  anyone know of a really good
leave in that DOES NOT weigh the hair down but really provides good moisture?????  anyway ,, at
least my hair is soft till i wash it again but it looks like HELL LOLOL(at least i can laugh at myself

oh cookies- sorry that this happened to you. I use this mixture daily but i hardly ever straighten my hair. Maybe i should have told you not to attempt to straighten while using the spritz. Use it only when wearing the shrunken fro or ponytail or any other natural style. ------------- Me and you, your cousin and your momma too rollin on da strip on bow's |

How about Paul Mitchell The Conditioner. That's really light. I used
this on my hair when I washed it last night because I'm planning to go
to the hairdresser for the BC. Last time when I went to this
hairdresser she shampooed my hair over and over because i had shea
butter on it and I had just done a color rinse. I tried to tell her
that the rinse is going to come out every time I wash but she didn't
understand. I want to have as little as possible on my hair so she
doesn't have to wash it more than once.

its ok carameldiva,, my hair is very very soft which it
never is when its not straightened so if i do decide to wear it curly ill use some so at least it isnt dried out and breaking but,, as far as straightening,, it makes the hair too soft to stay straight!

Sorry to hear that. I didn't think the glycerin would work well for straightening. I've never used it that way. It did make your hair soft though didn't it? I know what you mean about almost too soft. I like to wear my hair fluffy sometimes though so it works for that. I use Elucence as a leave in and I really like it. It helps me detangle big time. I can get a fine tooth comb through my hair after I use it. ------------- |
