Well, I've change my weekly regime a bit to try out some new things...Wonder 8 Oil & Bantu Knots. I'm hoping that I get favorable results (praying)
.
I did my normal pretreat (VO5), poo (CON), "quick" conditioner (Motions Moisture +) & leave in (Motions Nourish). I substituted my ever so loved Hot 6 Oil for Wonder 8 Oil & I also changed my air drying style from "flat twists" to "bantu knots" for the first time.
Currently, I'm about 2 hrs into my drying time. I have 1 knot on each frontal side, & 3 knots (horizontally) in the back. I opted not to sit under the hooded dryer nor wait until my hair was partially dry before making the knots as recommended... Big mistake, huh? Oh well, as long as it's dry before church on Sunday, then I'm happy
. I must add although this is my first attempt, it was really easy to make the knots... much easier than my first attempt at cornrolling for my braidout.
Now on to this Wonder 8 Oil... it was $1.00 less than Hot 6 six oil, but I'm hoping that it's comparable in quality. The scent is really nice... smells really fruity but light, unlike the "blunt / strong" fruity scent that Hot 6 has. Also it's not as "oily" as Hot 6, but has the same light texture.
Ingredients: Gin Grow Oil Complex {Safflower Oil, Jojoba Oil, Sesame Oil, Wheat Germ Oil, Castor Oil, Ginseng extract (Ren-Shen), Lavender Oil, Avacado Oil} Gin Grow Herbal Complex {Rosemary Extract (Mi-Tieh-Hsang), Sage Extract (Shu-Wei-Tsao), Angelica Archangelica Extract (Bai-Zhi), Licorice Extract (Gan-Cao), Job's Tears Extract (I-Yi-Jen), Junipeus Virginiana Extract (Cedar), Hyacinth Extract, Clove Extract, Balm Mint Extract, Chamomile Extract}, Polysobate 20, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Retinyl Palmitate Vitamin A), Water, Propylene Glycol, Capsicum Annum Oleoresin, Fragrance, Methylaraben, Ehylparben, Proylparaben, Butylparaben, Phenoxyethanol.
Ok, so I'll post my results after my hair dries
