Wash n Fail

My hair felt dry so yesterday, so I decided to do a wng.

Pre-poo: Vatika Oil + Castor + EVOO

Cowash:  Desert Essence Coconut conditioner

Leave In: Left in some conditioner

Sealed:  Started to seal'n'twist with QB Soft Gel but it felt horrible in my hair so I used the pre-poo mix

Next morning results were DRY DRY DRY hair.

I untwisted my hair with QB Burdock Butter and that left my hair moisturized all day.

What I think I did wrong?

I didn't really wash my hair, the D.E. is a great moisturizing conditioner but it's doesn't really clean my hair without stripping.  I think it just added to buildup, especially with the pre-poo.  So no moisture got to my hair strands.  Finger detangling took way longer then it usually does.

Next time I'll cowash with Giovanni TTTT and do a quick Hot oil Treatment.  And if I have to use the Desert Essence, then I'll do a ACV rinse to try to get rid of any build up and help moisture penetration.
