Concoction review

Hello All!!!

So, a while ago I wrote about an epiphany that I had. I decided to mix together three hair conditioners that I really like: Baba de Caracol, HE Totally Twisted, and Yes to Cucumbers. When I first conditioned my hair with this concoction I did not love it, I felt like it didn't do a good job at detangling and my hair wasn't very moisturized after rinsing. However, I decided to give it another try, and I loved it! Idk what happened the first time, but upon second use (I used them about 2 weeks apart with other conditioners in between) I really liked the way my hair turned out. So, mixing conditioners together is highly recommended.

I mixed together equal amounts of Baba de Caracol, HE Totally Twisted, and Yes to Cucumbers in the container that Baba came in, and then shook it all together. To condition, in the shower I thoroughly wet my hair with warm water and then sectioned my hair off into four sections, and secured each section with a clip. One section at a time, I took the section down, rinsed with water and then slabbed conditioner on. Next, I detangled with my fingers starting at the ends and then put a bit more conditioner on and twisted the section upon completion of the detangling. I kept the conditioner on for about 10mins or so and then rinsed with cold water one section at a time. I rinsed first while the twist was still in and then again after the twist was loosened. I put on CD Some of Maurgerite's Magic and unrefined Shea Butter, and pulled my hair all up into a high messy bun, put a headband on and that was that. My hair was soft and shiny:-)

At night, I left my hair in a bun and slept on a satin pillow case.

The next day I took the bun down and tried out a new style. My hair was a little wild and crazy, but I loved it. My hair was still soft and it was still shiny with minimal frizz.








These are some pics from the day after hair with concoction. I parted the front to the side and flat twisted around in either direction (I love flat twist) just along the front of the hair, sort of like a built in headband. Then, I regularly twisted the ends of the flat twist and pulled them back and clipped the ends somewhere in the back of my head, on either side. I let the back of my hair just fall naturally as it wanted and left. The style was a little 80s, kind of wild and untamed and I LOVED it. PS-check out those earrings, he he he, they are so huge and I LOVE them too :-)


Tootles for now,
Lady Shay
