Really, you can look at the pictures in my 2 minute refresh post and the technique is quite similar (my hair is about double the length now!). This is typically 4 golf ball sizes out mousse for my medium thickness, coarse, long hair. I then scrunch mousse until my hair feels coated. Nothing too detailed, I just want some moisture there. If my hair is any drier /I will lightly scrunch in a bit of water from the sink. That’s where I want it: dry enough to soak in the product, but damp enough to distribute it before it frizzes. For me if I sleep overnight, my hair is about 80% dry. How I use:I take my hair out of the turbie twist. If you DO notice crunch, wait until the hair is 100% dry then scrunch your hair while it’s dry! It offers a good hold but without getting crunchy. That’s right, this routine contains TWO holy grail products! The Herbal Essences Totally Twisted is my favorite mousse. Then I move onto the next step….Īh yes, back to this holy grail. Approximately 95%-98% of the conditioner is removed. Then, to rinse out, I switch the water to room temperature/cool, change the water setting to a less aggressive water pressure, flip my head over, and rinse out while detangling/scrunching… I actually change my water settings so that a little bit of the conditioner stays in the lengths of my hair. I then let this conditioner sit on my hair while I do all the rest of my non-hair shower stuff. But basically, you flip your head over and “squish” your conditioner into your hair by scrunching it into soaking wet hair. I use the “squish to condish” method, and I’m not sure exactly who to credit this technique to (if anyone knows please tell us below and I will edit this). This must be rinsed out quickly or the hair gets weighed down. I detangle all the way up to my roots, and this part of conditioning takes me less than a minute. How I Use: First things first I will use a little of this conditioner to detangle my hair (with my fingers) and rinse completely. To make this clear to any new readers, no this isn’t sponsored.
The scalp is where build up actually occurs, so that’s where to focus. As your rinse the shampoo out, the ends get very gently cleansed. I also f ocus on my scalp this entire time, and don’t intentionally put any shampoo onto the lengths of my hair. I wash my hair twice most times to be sure all product is out. If you use water soluble silicones you’ll have no trouble rinsing those out. This shampoo (low-poo) lathers very well and is quite cleansing. Don’t lather into your ends or they will get dry. I use about a quarter size amount and lather into my scalp. While the name doesn’t say it, this IS a low-poo because it’s sulfate free! Low-poos are very user friendly if you are just starting your natural hair journey. How I Use: Basically, I use the Aveeno Rose Water & Chamomile Blend Shampoo as a “normal” shampoo. And I’m so glad I did! Between that and the amodimethicone (a-cone as it’s often shortened to), my hair feels smooth and soft.Īlternative: If you really, really want to stay away from A-cone, another gentle shampoo option is the Odele Smoothing Shampoo. So to see this “colloidal oat extract” as the top ingredient got me to try it. The line that caught me was “oat as the first ingredient.” Most shampoos/low-poos have water or maybe aloe vera juice as the top ingredient.
#Best wavemaker for hair free#
However, I will provide an alternative below that is completely cone free, keep reading!įirst of all, hooray for us! The curly and wavy hair community have absolutely pushed companies to create more sulfate free and silicone free options at a great price point. This one does not coat the hair in the same way as other silicones. Note: **this shampoo contains amodimethicone, which is NOT like other silicones.
