Wash Day: Dust/Trim

I could not wait for this past week's wash day! I had used the SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curling Souffle to try a dry perm rod set and I did not care for this product too much. It left this weird film on my hair along with little white balls of product throughout my strands. My hair was really dry and difficult to manipulate. I am not sure if I used the product incorrectly, but I do know that I didn't even use much of it (as advised by others who have used the product in the past). Needless to say the product went right back to the store...

When my hair was in this dry state I could see that my ends were significantly more dry and brittle than the rest of my hair. I knew that this wash day had to include clarifying this Curling Souffle out and dusting off some of my old ends. I went ahead and clarified with the SheaMoisture JBCO Grow and Restore Shampoo and deep conditioned overnight with the SheaMoisture JBCO Grow and Restore Treatment Mask. After cleansing and conditioning I applied the SheaMoisture JBCO Grown and Restore Leave In Conditioner to small sections and twisted up those sections as smoothly as I could. I absolutely love the products in this line but a full review is coming soon!


I dusted off about 1/4 of an inch off of the ends of each twist with new hair cutting shears. I know that this is not the most traditional way to dust/trim, but it worked for me! There was no noticeable length lost and no raggity ends in sight. This was my first trim since my big chop and I wasn't scurred. I care for healthy ends more than I do length.

    Your hair looks great!!! I need to do a better job at using products immediately after purchase so that I can return them if they don't work.

      Thank You! Yes! I had to learn to only buy new products when i am ready to use them immediately because if its a flop they go right back! I used to feel bad bringing back a used product but now, as long as the receipt says I can, I don't hesitate to get my money back.

    I'm convinced that Shea Moisture products are simply hit or miss depending on what style you're going for. I love the SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curling Souffle but I realized that there are a few tricks to using it for me. For example, I always use a moisturizing leave in first then apply just a dab of the souffle because a little goes a long way.

    #Woot woot for the SheaMoisture JBCO Grown and Restore working better!

    Thanks for sharing your #washdayexperience chica!

      Im obsessed with the JBCO line! Maybe I will give the curling souffle another try later on in the game but as for now there are other soft gels I have my eye on :-)
