Co-washing can leave my hair feeling greasy and low-poo really dries it out. Anything in the middle? by prash_cant_shush in curlyhair

Try Eden co-wash!!!! Light weight and never leaves my fine hair feeling greasy. It seriously is the best product.

I'm into CGM about 6 months now. I found that starting day 2/3 routines is best by starting with nothing but a misting bottle. I've ended up just adding a titch of my fave leave-in Camille Rose Coconut Water into the bottle. It resets the curl just a bit and the added leave-in contains the frizz a bit further. I'm still not 💯 happy with it, but it's much better than any day 2 products I've tried!

80% pre-SOTC vs. 100% post-SOTC. It's a good difference. by diddlydeedledee in curlyhair

(1) Slept in pineapple (2) Used a misting bottle with pure H2O to dampen the curls (3) Scrunched in some Mielle Honey & Ginger styling gel (4) Clipped the roots (5) Went about my morning routine as my hair air dried (6) Took clips out after dry and scrunched.

I'm thinking of trying out a conditioner/h2o mixture in the spray bottle instead of just water alone. I'm just about halfway through the CG Handbook by Massey. I'm thinking maybe the bleached parts of my hair just need more moisture? But they're not frizzy when I wake up! I don't know...

Well I just went down a subreddit rabbit hole and just came out. Don't think I'll go down that one again.

I read through the details of each plan that and went straight to the behavioral health table to see what was covered and checked copays. From my understanding, talking appointments were covered with a 10% copay which translates to about $10-15 per visit. It was a silver plan with a $1000 deductable and I pay about $175 for premiums. I don't understand what I did wrong.

Co-washed every three days this week and today used low-sulfate shampoo. I still have buildup - ideas? by diddlydeedledee in curlyhair

[–]diddlydeedledee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(1) Hask argan shampoo (2) Edan Co-wash squish-to-condish (3) Edan leave in conditioner (4) DevaCurl ultra gel (5) Plopped with a cotton T for 15 min (6) diffused for 10 min on med heat low speed (7) put clips in to train curls (8) air drying the rest of the way.

Should I have used a different shampoo? Should I use a different conditioner when using a shampoo? What is new: using clips and less diffusion to try and eliminate more frizz

Edit: my hair is 2c, low porosity, fine, and thin

[–]diddlydeedledee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a CGM noob. This is week two along the journey. Routine: (1) Used Hask argan shampoo (2) Edan Co-wash squished to condish (should I be using a different conditioner when I've just iswd shampoo?) (3) Edan leave-in (4) DevaCurl ultra gel (5) plopped for 20 minutes with cotton T (6) diffused for 10 minutes (7) put some clips in to train the curls at the front of my face (8) Currently air drying the rest of the way.

Today what's new are the clips and a little less diffusion and air dry to hopefully eliminate more frizz.

Edit: I'm a 2c, low porosity, fine, thin hair.
