Album Update - Shingling works!

[alibi]

Hey ladies

I was playing w/ my hair the other night and decided to try this whole "shingling" technique they talk about on the Curve website (which is nothing more than applying your product in small sections and combing through). I CO my hair w/ Pantene S&S and applied Elasta QP mango butter and Fruit of the Earth Aloe Vera gel in sections. After all the product was in, I diffused my hair for about 10 mins. I think it came out really nice, and it DOES make a difference when you apply the product in sections. There was significantly less frizz, and the curls were more defined. I still won't wear my hair out like this, b/c I'm not comfortable w/ the length yet, but I'll probably start wearing it around August or so, after it grows out a little more. Anyways, I snapped a few pics w/ the camera phone (sorry so small), they're in the album labeled "Shingling."

so, youre saying any good moisturizer paired with some AVG can give you that pretty defined look!?!?!?

I love your hair- it looks like a curly rollerset.

 

[Shatani]

[Sapphire]

Looks good!

 

[Ginsana]

My goodness!! Your hair is like a cold glass of lemonade on a hot summer's day...UMMM GOOD! Your hair looks gorgeous!

I gotta try this shingling thing one of these days...

 

[moda]

Girl, you can wear that out, it is beautiful

 

[alibi]

Thanks ladies! I know that it's ridiculous not to want to wear my hair out yet, blaxalrose just me the other night for the same thing. But I'm so used to having long hair, that I kinda have to work up to it! I'm getting there though. Just last night I was thinking that maybe with highlights I'd go ahead and rock this look for the summer.

Ayanna, your curly puff is adorable! So, the shingling technique is for products after washing and conditioning right? Or, should you shingle the poo and conditioners too?

 

[Tiffany]

Looks very pretty! You should def wear it out.

 

[PretteePlease]

yummy that looks too cute

No, I don't shingle poo or cons. Just the styling products. It really does work better. I had been following the Curly Girl "accordion" method, applying products w/ head down scrunching them in from the ends like an accordion, but all I ever ended up with was a head full of frizz.

 

[Tonya]

Your hair is freaking GORGEOUS!
I tried shingling with my glass...maybe i will try it with fruit of the earth. Ok maybe i really can do this transitioning thing!

 

[beloved1]

Your hair is GORGEOUS!! That hair style is stunning on you.

 

[model_chick717]

AP--your hair is the ISH!!!!

 

[CLASSYEBONYGIRL]

OMG!! What yuh talking about girl. Your hair is very pretty and I love your hair texture and the curls are just fabulous. Apply some leave-in conditioner, moisturizer and a serum on your wet hair and just let it airdry and you should be just fine.

 

[RushGirl]

You hair looks great!!!! Very cute.. you should wear it out..it's more than long enough!!

 

[mohair]

Your hair is adorable!! It looks really great on you. Please find the confidence and share that gorgeous head of hair. I don't know what's going on with me but after seeing your pics and those of others who have transitioned, I am starting to get the fever.
