“This is actually day two, I washed my hair in the evening, didn't scrunch out the crunch before sleeping. Only today I did scrunch with a bit of jojoba oil and shake the roots a bit. Routine for this result: wash with Shea moisture shine, and deep condition with shea moisture yogurt. Apply a little bit of As I am leave in conditioner all over my hair. Section the top and bottom part of my hair. Apply a generous amount of flaxseed gel (easiest DIY, I added a bit of jojoba oil in it, apparently it helps avoid flaking) on the section from root to tip. Brush with the bounce curl brush (I always had issues with my hair clumping too much, so it works great for me) by taking smaller sections. The smaller the section the smaller the curl clump, which I prefer. Diffuse on low heat until a slight cast is formed, then medium heat to dry hair upside down & flip hair on each side until 90% dry.”
