TWA problems?? Empty TWA problems??

Post by mstokes2008 24th March 2010, 3:08 pm

So I Bc'd Monday night and as expected my hair is soooo dry. I've been using HEHH and Aussie Moist for my co washes and leave in. I was excited about doing WNG's but my hair does not seem to be cooperating with me. I'm not sure what to do. I'm trying to stay away from cones and sulfates. But does anyone know what on earth I can put in my hair to moisturize it, get some curl definition, and make my WNGs, more of a WNG instead of a wash, with a way to long of a style time before I can "go" if that makes sense lol. I don't have a set regimen yet either so any help establishing one would be great!

conditioner! conditioner! conditioner! and sealing will give you more moisture. I also used conditioner to define my curls when I first BC'd. Also, plopping helps with the drying time of a WNG.

Thanks Erica! So after I rinse or cowash should I apply more conditioner while its soaking wet or let it dry some? And can you please please please explain the plopping method?? And how long did it take your curls to "pop" after you first BC'd?

I cowash with a conditioner, then use another conditioner as a rinse out and then add more conditioner to leave in (all while the hair is soaking wet). To plop, all I do is wrap a t-shirt around my head and let it sit for about 20 mins (don't rub the hair, just wrap it on without disturbing the wet hair). It didn't take long to get the defining part perfected but as the hair grows, sometimes you have to switch things up. It is really important to NOT touch your hair while it is drying( a very hard thing to do!).

Thats probably where my problem is. Because after I wash it its all slicked back and I don't like it. lol So do you use any other products as a conditioner right now? And how long have you been natural??
