Here is what I did today:
- Detangled,
- Clarified with diluted Elucence Clarifying shampoo (first time in a few weeks),
- Shampooed with Elucence Shampoo,
- Applied reconstructor, let it sit for 5 minutes, and rinsed,
- Applied Kenra Moisturizing Conditioner and sat under hair steamer for 25 minutes.
I usually apply my reconstructor with my deep conditioner and sit under the hair steamer with both products in my hair. However, the Aphogee 2 Minute Reconstructor directs that it should be used for up to 5 minutes. On the other hand, the Elucence reconstructor directs to leave it in for 15 minutes. So, I rinsed out the Aphogee before I deep conditioned.
There are times when it is okay to improvise with products, and then there are times when you should follow the directions. With protein products it is a good idea to follow the directions.
After I rinse out the conditioner (yes, its still in my hair as I type lol), I’m going to air dry and either do a braid out or do bantu knots. I will post pictures tomorrow.
