Here's my 4B hair (I apologize for the poor shots. I was using one of the first webcams ever made and still use it *shameface* coz I am too cheap to upgrade):
After a wash with no products:
Below was how it looked after I untwirled it from
this ugly do. Those finger twirls *gag* were made using Paul Mitchell Foaming whatever-it's-called--I must state here that it wasn't me that did that to my hair
. My hair was hard and felt dry:
Hair below is uncombed but immediately out of an extension braid (I find that with extension braids, even after many washes, the hair remains stretched). This is w/o any product (I don't use leave-ins when wearing braids. Just shampoo and conditioner and ACV rinse):
Hair below is uncombed and straight out of braids w/o extensions aka my bangs (I find that hair isn't as stretched when I plait w/o extensions and then put it through a few washes, so it's not as easy to separate/detangle as extension-braided hair):
When I had my uplanned BC, I discovered that when I'm wearing my hair out, S-Curl the spray not only makes it easy to comb, but it also makes the coils pop and keeps my hair moisturized for days so that I only need apply the spray on wash day and baggy every night, and my hair remains soft and moist w/o being sticky till wash day (I wash at least twice a week). Puff below, albeit unclear, shows how fluffy my hair gets with S-Curl spray. It really was as soft as it looks without being sticky. I love S-Curl!:
ETA: Another photo of my hair w/o product after a wash:
And a clip of how easy it is to comb my hair wet and drenched with conditioner:
