Last night, I decided that I will attempt my 4th try at cornrowing Zakiah's hair today and therefore, washed her hair in four sections using Shea Moisture Moisture Retention Shampoo and conditioned it with the Shea Moisture Curl Milk (as a leave-in). Instead of leaving her hair soaking wet when I applied the conditioner, I used a t-shirt to dab the excess water out of her hair. That way, her hair *hopefully* would not take as long to air dry overnight in prep for her cornrowing session today. After applying the leave-in, I gently detangled her hair using my modified Goody's denman brush from tip to root. I then banded her hair in the four sections using the Goody's Ouchless Elastics as a way to stretch her hair without heat. Here is a close up picture demonstrating exactly what I mean by banding:
Hopefully when she gets up, her hair will be for the most part dry and nicely stretched/detangled. I will post an update on how stretched her hair has gotten from the overnight banding.
