Flax Seed Creme... week of 9/26-10/2 2010

So I decided to try shea butter, turns out my hair does like it. I'm keeping track of the brand and type of honey because I do think it makes a difference. The first time I tried honey it was a dud for hold. I used some from either Walmart or Ambrosia's wildflower it's been at least 4 months and I wasn't keeping track of it then.

First recipe: (FS Creme)
4 Tbsp base flax seed gel
1 Tbsp shea butter
1 Tbsp honey (Rice's clover)

9/26/2010
Cowash/Condish: BioInfusion Rosemary Mint
Curl Enhancer: Flax seed creme
Hold gel: Biotera styling gel
Air dry

I used almost the same amount of FScreme as I do FSG (approx 1oz). I had amazing hold and a lot of curl formation, more than FSG ever gets. Once it dried it was crispy, more crispy than BRHG. SOTC was tough to do, it was too crispy, some just didn't scrunch out. It was also slightly greasy looking, not wet greasy though so it was livable.

2nd recipe: (FS Creme)
Decided to add more FSG (2Tbsp) to the FS Creme that was made.

9/27/2010
Cowash/Condish: BioInfusion Rosemary Mint
Curl Enhancer: FSG
Hold gel: FS Creme (with added 2 Tbsp FSG)
Pixie-Diffuse Dry

Great curl formation but again a little crispy, not as bad as 9/26. Thinking maybe 1/2 Tbsp honey?

3rd Recipe: (FS Creme)
1 Tbsp shea butter
1/2 Tbsp honey (Rice's clover)

Air Dry

9/30/2010 & 10/1/2010

Definately not enough hold. Raked in FSG. Not a lot of curl formation. Almost no crunch.

4th Recipe: (FS Creme)
1 Tbsp shea butter

6 Tbsp base FSG
Pixie-Diffuse Dry

10/2/2010

Some hold, more than 9/30 & 10/1 not a lot though.

Thoughts after a week:

Curl Enhancer: FS Creme with no honey

Hold Gel: FSG w/honey
