SMT for my hair!

I had heard a lot about this so called "SMT" on various webpages and forums. SMT stands for "Snowymoon Moisturizing Treatment", Snowy is one of the users on LHC* and made a great moisturizing recipe! A lot of people on LHC are enthusiastic about this, so I just HAD to try it.

My hair BEFORE smt :)

I am not sure if I used the right ingredients. (see pictures below) The recipe says you should use a moisturizing conditioner without cones, not sure if I did that but if it this turns out awesome (it's on my head right now!) I will retry with a better conditioner!


So, I found a very good post about SMT here, you should go read it there, there's no need for me to re-explain the whole thing xD Here it is: http://www.longhaircommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=128


So I started by getting into the shower and just wash my hair like I normally would, without using conditioner. After that I kept my hair in a towel so it would dry just a little bit and I used that time to make my SMT-potion :D  I mixed 4 tbls of Pantene conditioner, with 1 tbls of honey and 1 tbls of Aloe Vera Gel. You can also put some oils in it if you like, I didn't because I want to see what this basic-recipe will do. I put it in the microwave for 30 seconds, but 10 seconds would've been enough, just making it a bit warm is ok.

The *potion*

Applying it was very easy, it looked just like a normal conditioner, it was a lot more slippery tho, the spoon I used for mixing was SO slippery I dropped it several times! :P After applying I put my hair up in a knot, put on a showercap, and a normal bonnet (hope that's the good world, Googletranslate!) over it to keep it warm.

Applying.

With the shower cap.

I'm so AWESOME! :')

I put this in my hair at 2PM, and I'll take it back out around 1!PM, so it has time to absorb it all! *anxiiiooouuuus*


Alright, I rinsed it out after 9 hours! It felt really soft in the shower, but that doesn't really mean anything, it tends to be soft with certain shampoos as well. I was quite amazed when I got out of the shower and I was able to comb my WET hair, that is NEVER EVER possible, since it tangles so so so much when wet. And now, no struggle at all, W.O.W. ! !


Now, 2 hrs later it's starting to dry just a little bit and I can feel that it IS softer! Especially on top of my head, the only place it's dry now xD Can't wait to post about it when it's dry in the morning!

3PM the next day.
Ok, I can't say I am VERY happy with the result. My hair does feel different and healthier, but it's quite poofy. Some people would totally LOVE this extra volume but I don't, haha! So next time I will just use my hairdryer again, yes I know it's bad... I might also leave the honey out next time, and add some cocunut oil. Once I have done that, I will come back with an update!
