Thanks popsbaby and sweetdrk1.

Lynnieluve, I do feel better, I think it just looks so different. I have to get used to it and figure out what products work. I will be asking for advice. I am going to go with the flow. I do feel like I made the right decision and have no desire to perm.

Thanks so much ladies. Your encourgement really helps.

Ok now for the questions Smile. So I did a deep condition overnight because I think I put too much product on my hair yesterday playing with it (felt gummy and sticky). I used AOHR with almond oil for deep conditioner. My hair was soft this morning. I woke up early rinsed conditioner out with cool water, put a tshirt on hair to abosrb some of the water. This is what I did in this order.
Oyin Honey Hemp Conditioner(did not rinse out)
Oyin Juices & Berries
Knot Today Leave In
Almond Oil
Kinky Curly Custard

My hair looked moist and coily, but after about 10 minutes I had little white gooey balls in my hair LOL. I wore a wig today Sad . My 10 yr old said "Mommy how are you going to love your real hair when you are wearing a wig" "I am so disappointed in you" It'd bad when a 10 yr old is disappointed in you, What could I say....he is so right LOL. Hubby said don't wear the wig, get over it (but he was mean about it).

Help! My hair is very very thick and dense, It has small to med coils all over. It does not feel dry, except the morning after my hairdresser put the coils in my hair. Do you guys think I used too much product this morning? I need a simple routine.

Karmeldiva1978 - you look great, what do you pur in your hair?

You used too many products and Kinky Curly Curling Custard doesnt mix well with other products.

Try this....rinse everything out of hair....you could cowash if you'd like (if you do, rinse all the conditioner out) Apply the Knot today, then the KCCC. Start out apply small amounts of KCCC....add more if you need too.

Check out this video...I know her hair is longer than yours but the application process would be the same.....Hope this helps.
