Day 54 - UWI Fete

Di my hair today for the UWI fete.

 I started yesterday, with an ACV rinse that I left on for over an hour. Then put the conditioner in for almost 12 hours. Around 11pm I applied clay ad left it overnight for about 10 hours.

I did a lot of finger combing to remove shed hair and it was a lot.

Here;s what my hair looked like witout product.

And here's what it looked like with product after an afternoon and evening of dancing at the UWI fete to Machel Montano -

It is an alternative to KCKT

Based on Love your tresses detangling spray with Marshmallow Root and Slippery Elm.  I left out the Argan oil because I wanted it to be more of the consistency of the KCKT).   I only use a fingertip amount of extra virgin olive oil mixed with castor oil before applying my Flax seed gel after applying this leave in because my hair is very fine but dense and APL which can get weighed down and oily with a lot of product.  I am still playing around with the ingredients but so far I like it.  I also leave it in the fridge.  I hope this is helpful.
