I always speak too soon - my hair feels really nice and soft once dry. After rinsing out the conditioner, I definitely thought this wash was a bust. My hair felt weird and squeaky and stringy and clumpy. But I've been fingercombing as it dried and it now feels lush. My scalp stings a bit and I think that might have been one of the conditioners irritating my scalp. I might rinse again because it's a little painful, hmm (I didn't in the end).

I plan on leaving this in for a full week in which I will work hard instead of playing with my hair. Sounds like a plan!
