  4. Moisturizing and sealing(Sunshyne method), prepooing, cowashing, pincurls and no wrapping, STEAMING!!!!!, saran wrap, healthy stretching, protective styling, consistency and experimentation together helped me find better ways to take care of my hair.

  6. Thanks for your input ladies. Healthy stretching is key LaQT!! Do you have a steamer?

  7. Actually, no I don't have a steamer. I use the 2 shower caps, 2turbans, and my dryer on high for 15-30 mins with my fave dc. From those who have tried both they say that the above-mentioned way is pretty comparable to having a steamer. Plus, the way my hair feels after it, I'm not so sure it gets much better. I want to get a steamer though!

  8. The scarf method is great! i love the results lol thanks sunshyne:)

  9. Moisturizing the hair in sections is soooo important. Sometimes we forget to take the time to properly moisturize the entire head of hair and not just the top layer and the ends.

  10. @ LaQT - Thanks for letting me know.

    @ AngelEyez - I'm happy you like the results. T-shirt drying is when you wrap a t-shirt around your hair to squeeze out excess water as opposed to using a towel.

    @ N Vizion - You're absolutely right!!

  11. Good Morning... Just joined and found a wealth of information on this site. I am looking for the Silk Elements did you have to order online or did you go to the BSS to purchase. I am hoping to have NL within a few months. Thought that sectioning the hair for conditioning was very helpful.
