Now ladies you know that my hair has like NO shine on it’s own and this fact is greatly exaggerated when I do wash and go’s. Oil will give me shiny straight hair but I haven’t found a way to make oil work for me when doing wash and go’s… until yesterday! I discovered a product combo that works beautifully to give me hold, elongated curls (as elongated as they can be when your hair loves to shrink) and most importantly shine!
Basically what I did this time was to skip the leave in conditioner step. I know it sounds risky, but it made sense since I planned to slather my hair in oil anyway. I’ve tried sunflower and coconut in the past but there’s something about wheatgerm oil this time that just ‘took’. I also dumped the eco styler in favor of Keracare clear protein styling gel which is much thicker believe it or not. And you know that us kinky hair types need thickness to help with clumping.
Anyway these pictures are of completely dry hair after diffusing. I will probably do a video in a while to show you how I achieve the wng but all in all I’m pleased with the results.
