Three days into CG, and my hair looks better than it ever has

Hello Wavies!

I just wanted to share my early progress with the CG method. I started on Thanksgiving evening, and threw out all my sulfates and 'cones.

Since then, I've been co-washing with Suave Naturals or NGTN, and I won't low poo until I feel like I need it. I'm using the cheap LA Looks gel over HETT mousse.

The "after" pictures are diffused using the pixie method, and the early pic was air-dried.

    Thanks, Solidgold! I think you've got a slightly stronger curl than I do, but I'm hoping that over the next few weeks, my waves become just a little bit tighter. I have a feeling a little texturizing and some more length will help this a lot.
