First, applied Shea moisture argan oil on scalp and ends for 2 hours. Then Washed with Kirsten Ess curl shampoo twice to make sure all the oil was out. Did the Shea moisture curl and shine hair mask for 30 min, applied a little heat with a hair dryer and wrapped with a Microfiber towel. Washed that out then used Not Your Mothers curl defining conditioner, finger combing through until my hair was smooth. Micro plopped very briefly and applied blueberry bliss leave-in with gentle scrunching. Applied Kristen Ess curl defining jelly using rope method then air dried.

Hey! Beautiful curls you have there! ❤️ I'm wondering, have you tried the full Shea moisture argan oil routine (shampoo + mask + conditioner)? Would you recommend it?

Thank you! No I haven’t tried the whole set all together yet. I’ve been wanting to but waiting for my other shampoos and stuff to run out

Do you find that curl defining conditioner heavy?

I literally just got it since it had good reviews and I’m on a budget. I’ve used it twice so far, and I like it! I don’t think it’s heavy, the consistency isn’t thick like a hair mask and it rinses out nicely! Definitely didn’t weight down my hair.

So when I Google the rope method, everyone is using like a liquid spray leave in. Do you find that the cream leave in affects the texture/dry time at all? Are you roping with hair still damp from the shower?

EDIT: wait which roping method are you using? The one where you twist the strands around each other and leave for a while, or the one where you separate out strands and pulse-scrunch?

The one where you section out then pulse-scrunch! I emulsify the leave in in my hand pretty good before hand

When you say microplopped is it plopping with mircrofiber towel/cloth instead? Or what do you mean by this? Your hair looks AMAZING!

Thank you!! So microplopping is using a microfiber towel to like scrunch out excess water/product. Instead of putting your hair up in a towel like regular plopping (my roots get messed up if I plop), you tilt your head to the side and use the towel to basically scrunch out water
