Sealing

For the longest time, I've been reading about sealing in moisture. I never really understood what this meant until I read about it on this thread. It's basically using oil or pomade to seal in the water moisture from washing your hair. I'm sooo sloooowwww. I do this with my skin, put oil on immediately after washing whilst my skin is damp. Why my brain didn't compute that this same logic could apply to my hair I don't know.

Anyway, after co-washing with Porosity control and the last of my mekatek which I have ceased to use as a growth aid (only because I forgot I had it) I sealed in the water moisture with my mango butter. I also tried the Wave Nouveau moisturizer mist only because the shop I went into didn't carry the curl free curl instant moituriser. I'm making a point of purchasing my hair products from black businesses. The cost is often a little higher, usually 10-50p more but I feel it's worth it if it helps one of my sisters out.

Anyway, I digress. My hair did feel more moiturised but felt hard at the same time. I'll try a different combination over the week to see which works better. Sealing without the Wave nouveau or just sealing with mango butter.
