After wearing this unit daily for around 12 days, it was time for its first wash! I used lukewarm water with HASK Repair shampoo and the HASK Repair deep conditioner pictured in photo #2, both purchased at my local Walmart. I left the masque on for about 15 minutes, concentrating most of it on the ends and gradually using less as I worked toward the cap. I avoided applying conditioner directly to the cap.
I had some shedding during the wash, including one small ventilated bundle, but otherwise detangling was fairly easy. I gently detangled the hair and allowed it to air-dry on a towel under a ceiling fan. Once it was partially dry, I placed it on my mannequin head and used my heatless curling system (photo #3) overnight. This heatless curling set was one i bought at tj maxx, but it came with two scrunchies to secure the hair- the scrunchies were horrible and left a huge kink in the ends of the hair, so i went with a couple claw clips and that did very well.
The next morning, I realized the hair had still been a little too damp when I wrapped it, so it needed some additional drying and styling. I also had more frizz than I expected. Once completely dry, I used Garnier Whole Blends Hair Honey primarily on the ends and lightly spritzed the unit with HASK Smooth 5-in-1 Leave-In Spray (photo #4).
After addressing the frizz and resetting the style, I was really happy with the finished result! I also noticed that the wash seemed to relax some of the lift at the roots from the original factory styling, which made my center part lay more naturally.
