Because you will be using a generous amount of conditioner in your hair, you don't have to buy the expensive brands. I've been using Neutrogena's Triple Moisture conditioner for a while now. Just this week, I've started using Mixed Chicks Deep Conditioner in my CW routine. Both products make my hair soft, smooth and help to define my curl pattern.
Although this may be elementary for some, other newer curliecues may not be familiar with CW.
So here's my simple CW routine:
1. I saturate my hair under the shower head for at least five minutes. I take my time to make sure water has reached every strand on my hair.
2. Then I apply conditioner all over my head working through to my scalp. I gently massage my scalp to loosen any dirt or product buildup.
3. Starting at the nape of my neck, I start dividing my hair into sections. Make sure your sections are not too big because you will have to comb through each one.
4. I take my first section and saturate it with conditioner. While standing under the shower head, I take a wide tooth comb and detangle my hair. I start combing from the ends and work my way up very carefully until I can sweep the comb though with one full, smooth stroke. Remember, your hair is most vulnerable to breakage while its wet.
5. I continue this method for each section of my hair. The key is make sure your hair is saturated with both conditioner and running water at the same time.
6. When I'm finished I submerge my head under the shower and make sure I can comb through my hair with ease. Then I continue with the rest of my CHR.
That's it. Simple enough, right? I rarely use a regular shampoo to wash my hair...maybe every other month or so. That's only to make sure all product residue is removed from my hair. CW is easy and the best thing curliecues can do protect and treat their curls
