Hair by Benita Blocker. In order to achieve this shine and curl definition on Type 3b curly hair, I shampooed three times with KeraCare Sulfate-free Cleansing Cream. The KeraCare cleansing cream is not a deep cleanser so that is why I used it three times. I desired a clean scalp without drying the hair out. For additional conditioning, I used the Mixed Chicks Deep Conditioner. (see separate article about Mixed Chicks brand) No heat. Just 5 minutes massaging and manipulating the natural curl pattern. Then rinse.
I towel blotted the hair leaving it pretty wet and began applying and twisting the hair using Design Essentials Defining Creme Gel one slice/section at a time. Then client has to dry under pre-heated dryer for about 30 minutes or so depending on length of hair. Then Voila! No extra shine products nor leave-in conditioners needed. Hair by Benita Blocker.

Notice that the model here does not have haircolor. She is not chemically treated. Permanent haircolor will soften/loosen curl pattern. This would give inconsistent twist results such as straight ends on this curl pattern. So I do not advise lightening natural hair.
ReplyDeleteWe also achieved excellent results during another service by omitting the Mixed Chicks Deep Conditioner as her hair was already healthy. Sometimes deep conditioning can make the hair too soft and will not hold as well. Use your own discretion as to when you need extra conditioning.
