I had to part with my VS so sexy serum. I cried real tears. Real. Tears.
Why?
I'm going to try the curly girl method as my very last resolve to stay natural. If it doesn't work, screw it, I'm either perming, texturing, or heat taming for good.
So I dumped all my sulfates accept for one (to clarify with once I take out my sew-in), all my products containing dimethicone (I did keep products with water-soluble cones). One of these products was a $30 bottle of conditioner I didn't even use! This better work.
I have to try because I like my texture but the frizz is ridiculous. I finally figured the frizz might be a reaction to sulfates that I never seemed to have given up on. My hair lays down after using a sulfate shampoo, then frizzes back up after I condition. So I'll try 6-8 months of CG and see what happens with my frizz. I'm just kind of sad that so many products went down the drain. VS so sexy is my fav line and all I can keep of that is the conditioner.
Well I'll keep the shampoo too in case this doesn't work out. But that's basically my new challenge.... 6-8 months... no heat (I feel the need to use cones when I use heat), no sulfates, no cones that aren't water soluble *side-eyes huge bottle of conditioner with disdain), and no waxes. *dumps carol's daughter*
This betta work.
And yes I did HAVE to throw them away. I get bored and pull out products I haven't used in awhile like 'teeeheeee this won't hurt!' uhm yes it will.
I'm contemplating tossing my thicker growth oils as well since its getting warmer.
I'll post a starting pick once I remove my sew in and clarify on Friday. If there's a challenge for this feel free to direct me to it.
Update: here is my starting pick. I took out my sew in and the portion that was braided is visibly shorter. It was a lot for just two weeks. Glad I aborted that mission. So for the next 6 months here is my regi:
No cones, no sulfates, no heat, no heavy gel.
Cowash daily.
Very limited brushing (edges only).
Henna as needed instead of 'biweekly'. That's all for now. Ill updates on the 15th of every month with nothing but a picture and any regi update. Wish me luck!
Dry plopped hair

Plus it adds a little too much weight to my ends and they start to hang pretty straight.
yup I had some breakage and also excessive shedding. Still trying to figure out what happened there but I suspect her braiding the base with braiding hair kept too much moisture out of my real hair and dried it on up. Never again.
