Hot Chocolät Hair

The cooler temperatures are totally messing with my hair routine. I'm normally a "co-wash and go" kind of girl allowing my curls to air-dry. But for the past week it's been so cold in the morning that I barely want to shower. You can't forgo that. Wetting my hair just wasn't happening. Did I mention that I'm fighting a cold? To get through the hump, I've been hiding my short hair under a big curly wig for some days. It was super cute, but then I got a call for an audition that required me to go back to my usual do. What a predicament. I needed a great shampoo and conditioner that could fight frizz, work with my texture, and protect my hair from blow- drying damage. Thank goodness for Carol's Daughter Chocolät.

Lather it! The oil and dirt was really starting to weigh down my curls. But one wash with Chocolät sulfate-free Shampoo knocked all that out. My curls just sprung right back. My hair is super thick and coarse, so I'm really surprised the shampoo was able to clean without stripping my coils. After my wash in the sink, I applied the creamy Smoothing Conditioner, put on a shower cap, and then wrapped my hair in a towel. I needed to do a few things before actually showering. Wrapping your hair in a towel allows for deep conditioning just like if you were sitting under the dryer. Your own body heat can work wonders. After 10 minutes, ready to rinse. Chocolät includes ingredients that clean, nourish and train your hair to be more manageable. Keravis and sunflower seed extract latch on to every strand of your hair and tame it for you. No misbehaving.
Blow it out! This is the part that makes me nervous. My hair responds so differently after heat styling. It always ends up feeling fried and crunchy. But I needed it to be soft, touchable, and not all over the place. You know what I mean. Blow dry cream to the rescue. Carol's Daughter Chocolät actually contains cacao extract which helps to smoothes the frizz. This line is designed for curly girls who want to wear straight styles, but I figured it would work on my kinky cut too. I applied a small amount to my damp hair and used the "scrunch and lift" method while blow drying.

Style it up! My hair is still short enough that I can finger comb and style without using extra tools. That Chocolät really worked some magic, because I barely needed to style it after blow drying. A little Macadamia Finishing Shine Mist and I'm done. Now my hair looks fantastic without air-drying. And the process was actually more painless than I thought. No heat damage, no fried hair just pretty, springy healthy curls. Sweetness.
