Oh man, that extra time under the cap is KEY. I do that with my deep conditioner every single wash day. The real trick is to add a little heat from a hooded dryer or even just a warm towel over the cap. It makes the product sink in so much deeper. My curls come out defined for days instead of getting frizzy after one sleep. It's a total game changer for dry hair.

Does that actually work with modern forges?

Wonder if you're less stressed about clean-up now. Does that mindset stick for other messy moments? Sounds like a nice shift in how you see things.
