- Pre-pooed overnight with my doctored HQS Peppermint (babassu, hempseed and castor oils were added). Upon rinsing, my hair felt rough and a bit stiff; it also looked extremely dull. Detangling was nixed given the funky state of my hair. On a brighter note, I was able to empty the jar, so that’s one down and 8,642 hair products left to finish up.
- DC’ed with Sister’s Keeper Brahmi & Rhassoul Masque under a cap for several hours after shampooing. This stuff was extremely difficult to apply (it felt as if I were using plaster or spackle) and provided absolutely no slip. When I took the cap off, the DC had completely absorbed into my hair, which was promising given that it was my first time sampling that DC. Upon rinsing, I found that the DC was able to soften my hair a bit, but it still felt rough from the pre-poo; the moisture level was mediocre at best. I had to use my trusty SSI Avocado to detangle, soften and moisturize my hair.
- Results: The pre-poo sucked and the DC was mediocre; had to rely upon a stellar conditioner and other finishing products to moisturize and soften.
