Natural hair experts I got a question?

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Aight so ya man done let my hair grow out and it's all curly n shyt

So I normally do a Indian Clay and ACV condition every other week


So this time I decided to add baking soda, Carol's Daughter Hair Milk and wonder 8 oil to the mix
And I let it sit like 10 mins then covered it while I showered then waited last to wash it out


So when I washed it out with just water like I normally do it still feels heavy although the Clay def gone

The crazy shyt is my shyt EXTRA EXTRA CURLY and on some ancient Egyptian emperor shyt

Just that my hair feels heavy tho



So I know if I actually use shampoo to wash it it will come out but take away the conditioning and look





You think I'm good?

Or do u think I have to wash it out?

Use a conditioning cleanser.

Use a conditioning cleanser.

Wtf is that
I thought the whole point was to only use water?

Rinse it out with plain water but instead of using shampoo use a conditioner after the rinse. I usually use a leave in conditioner. She talks about how her curl pattern got real curly too bc it’s like a cleansing detox for your hair.

If you want to maintain the extra extra curl pattern then rinse out with COLD water only . No shampoo and no conditioner.

If you don’t want to lose the curl pattern then rinse out with cold water and that’s it. If you want your hair to be extra soft with less defined curls then use a plain conditioner rinse. I use conditioner bc my hair is curly and I like a less tighter curl wavy look. If I’m just putting it up in a bun or ponytail, I just rinse with cold water.

This is a good reference:

Also I mix together my own essential oils - pure argan oil, Shea butter oil, coconut oil, almond oil with vitamin e oil for after.

Nah water by itself will not cleanse your hair, using a conditioner will moisturize and define your curls.

I use baking soda as a face mask occasionally bc I have oily skin but not for hair. I heard baking soda dries your hair out. What made you add baking soda?

As a masque for your hair.

I use baking soda on a facial brush with kojic soap to wash my face
And again with dudu soap

So I thought about it and decided to experiment


Man my curls look like coils

They more defined and tighter than normal after doing this
