So I got three products today in the mail. I'm back at school now so I was finally able to pick up my AG Re:coil, my sample of pink boots, and my Donna Marie Lock and Twist came today as well. I'm in product junkie heaven!
I decided that since I've been feeling like my curls are too loose lately that I would try re:coil first. Some have found that the magnesium sulfate (epsom salt) in this product made their hair feel a little dry with repeated use and I really hope that doesn't end up being the case for me because I'm loving this product right now.
I decided that for my first go with this I would just insert it into my tried and true routine of KCKT leave in followed by KCCC. Here are some things I know from others and I have discovered on my own:
1) You shouldn't use a lot of this product. I've read that a pea sized amount works for a lot of people. I decided that since I really wanted to see what the coiling power of this product is that I would use a glob that was more like 2 large peas.
2) It's much thicker than I thought it would be. Well, I guess thick isn't the right word. It's hard to describe. I guess I should say it's difficult to spread and distribute. I don't think I'd try this product without some kind of slip-giving leave in underneath.
3) It can be raked or scrunched. Even though it's a little tricky to rake through, it can be done. I did a combo of raking and scrunching to make sure I hit everything. I raked it through a few times, then I rubbed my hands together again to redistribute the product on my hands, then I scrunched it into my hair via the mysteryflavored method.
4) I didn't add any weight to my hair which is awesome. I was worried about layering in another product because I don't want my desperately-trying-to-be-3a curls to get pulled down into 2c loose S wave-curls. My hair feels very light and bouncy now that I have scrunched out the KCCC crunch
5) Curl tightness = wow! I can definitely tell that there's improved shrinkage today versus yesterday. I'm very excited to keep using this product and I'll be trying some different combos to see what works best. I've been worried that the KCCC might be weighing me down a bit after so much repeated use, so next time I use this I'm going to try it with a leave in, then re:coil, then gel. I will of course keep you posted. But the next wash will go to either boots or L&T
Here are two pictures of my hair when it dried:
