Hello ladies. I BC'd recently and have been constantly putting moisturizers in my hair to make the dryness go away. So far it has been working. It doesn't feel as "strawy" and like a brillo pad. I'm also starting to get tight little ringlets all over my head. I know they're not naps because when I stretch them it has like a coil shape and snaps back in the ringlets ( I hope this makes sense) Anyhoo, my question is 1) how do I make them softer and 2) how can I go out of the house without the products showing in my hair. This is what I do, twice a day, I spray my hair with my water bottle until damp, put BH Moisture Maniac conditioner and then rub some EVOO to seal. I've gotten good results doing them. Sometimes at night, I may mixed some CD Moisture Milk to my EVOO. This is my WnG routine. It works fine, if I don't have to go anywhere. But, how can I do this without looking like a ghost head [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

You are going to have to give it time. A lot of reading of blogs and forums has reflected that dryness is common after a BC. Keep deep conditioning on a regular basis and keep in mind that results will take time. As far as I know there are not any overnight instant treatments for dryness.

I bc'ed about 2 weeks ago and I have baggied overnight a couple of times to help with the dryness. I'm in the same boat as you. Sometimes you can see product in my hair when I wash and go. If it's too bad, I just rinse & try again or do a light rinse-just enough to wash away the excess then use a tshirt to blot my hair. We just have to keep at it until we figure out the right amount of product to use to get the results we want. Good luck!

Something that has helped me combat the dryness, especially after co-washing is leaving the conditioner in my hair (something I never used to do). But make sure it's your good conditioner (not your cheapie one). Then I apply some sort of oil (either EVCO, EVOO, or JBCO) all over my head. I wrap it with a T-shirt while I get dressed and when I'm done the hair is beautiful, soft, & moisturized & remains that way all day. If there is excess product, as freckledmom4 mentioned, I blot those areas a little extra with a T-shirt or maybe go under for another light rinse in the sink (with of course more t-shirt blotting). I noticed when I put a heavy cream on my hair while it's damp, then my hair will look white/coated with product; so I stay away from that. If my hair needs an extra boost during the day, I spritz with either DevaCurl Set It Free Moisture lock spray (a tiny 3oz bottle I carry in my purse, plain water, or Jane Carter leave-in conditioner. Hope this helps!

I'm new at this, but for me,
leaving conditioner in my hair
is working very well.

I have not started using curl-specific
products yet,
but I use 2 cheapie condishes
as well as a hair mold product
(oil-based).
