I have a confession to make

So, the other day I waxed poetic about my mix masterpiece of Nourish Spa conditioner, honey and olive oil. What I didn't tell you was about my mix master fail that ruined my attempts at a cute little style two days in a row. No, there is no photo evidence of said fail. You'll just have to trust me.

I mixed Suave Tropical Coconut conditioner with some coconut oil and used that as my "moisutrizer" then put in flat twists and rolled the ends with wave rods. The next day I was supposed to have soft, feminine, flirty curls. In actuality, I had extremely happy roots and totally saturated permed ends...not a good look. Needless to say I tossed that tragedy into a bun...AND THAT WAS MY LOOK FOR THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! Cue my tears.

Tuesday night (because yes, I made the same mistake and had the same disaster the next day) I used that conditioner/coconut oil mix to detangle my hair in the shower then used my Elasta QP Mango Butter as a moisturizer while I did the flat twists/rolled ends and this is what I got for my efforts:

This may very well have just secured a spot as one of my go-to styles while I am transitioning. I couldn't be happier with my results.

Now I see the error in my ways and yadda yadda yadda. Conditioner is a great leave-in, but not a moisturizer/style product. Got it.

I can't wait to set my hair for this style again tonight. Here's the kicker: my unrefined shea butter arrived today. LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!
