It's been 19 weeks since I shaved off my hair and the above picture is what my freshly washed hair looks like. My coils group together making it look like I have bald patches but there's hair coming out of the follicles.
I decided to try Cantu Hydrating Leave in Conditioner Mist for the first time today because it contains Hydrolyzed Keratin and Hydrolyzed Silk which will hopefully strengthen my hair. I used the product alongside my homemade conditioning balm then I sprayed my hair with water and applied my styling balm. Once the products had absorbed into my hair I applied S-CURL Lite Curl Activator Jel and then I swirled my hand around my hair until the coils became defined. I placed a shower cap over my head to help the moisture penetrate my strands. The above picture shows my hair while it is damp with product and the below picture is after my hair had dried.
My coils naturally want to group together but their coil pattern is disrupted when I wash, condition, finger detangle and moisturise my hair. The swirling process only takes a few minutes and it's fun to do so I plan on swirling my coils together on a regular basis.
My coils had less hold today than they did yesterday because I didn't use styling gel. The above picture shows what my hair looked like 12 hours later. I had been touching my hair throughout the day which disrupted the coils.
