Title: Finally Finally
Post by Debr on Apr 24^th, 2007 at 1:20pm

Finally, Finally, my thick coarse hair is becoming softer. Even the area next to my scalp which was sooooo coarse and crispy. I have been oiling at nite b4 wash in the morning and that is truly helping. I have discovered some more gray/white hair which is also responding to the oil treatment. Since I started doing S & D on a twice weekly basis, my ends have gotten thicker. Of coarse, cutting the ends has helped too. Overall, my hair LOOKS and FEELS so much healthier. I am going to continue doing this until hhhmmmmm, maybe a long time. I dont know if my hair will get too oily, I will have to watch that. Thanks for all the great info ;D.

Hi Angelspun, I am very impressed with how my hair is responding the nitely oil thing ;D. I just wish my curls would do better. I have been trying to comb with my fingers more, but I am still getting frizz. I have been putting it in a bun when it is damp, but that takes out all the curl, but no frizz. I would rather have no curl than be frizzy. Alas, I guess I cant have it all :o. Have a great day.

Debr, how are you drying your hair? Do you turn your head upside down? Do you use regular towels? For me, if I turn my wet hair upside down I'm guarenteed frizzies. I have found that the Aquis towels help soooooooo much. I sucks up soo much moisture and allows me to encourage the wave pattern instead of destroy it.

I hope you can find a solution-I know how irritating frizzies can be, especially when it takes away from the beauty of curls/waves.

Hi Sakina, No, I dont turn my head upside down. I just use a regular towel to dry it. I usually leave my hair in the towel for about 10 minutes b4 I start to do the combout. I have almost given up on trying to get the curl pattern to stay in my hair. Maybe with my hair being as long and thick as it is, the weight pulls out my curl anyway. I am satisfied with the smoothness of it now. Sooo, if there is no curl, oh well. At least, it is looking and feeling much better now even tho it hangs straight.
