A comment from GiiGii on this post:
Ha I’m sitting with ZSC in
my hair right now and decided to do some additional reading. Thanks to google, I came across your review.I bought this back in November which was the first time I tried it. I had just BCd about a month prior. It made my hair feel noticeably soft with better curl definition. I really didn’t know my hair very well so I wanted to use it again when I had more hair. 25g was enough for my 3-4 inches of hair. This time I’ll know if it’s worth the trouble. Have you used it again? I’ll give you an update on my results this time around.
I did another ZSC treatment the other day, GiiGii. I’m glad you said something because I’ve been meaning to do one for awhile and just haven’t gotten around to it. I can’t wait to hear how your second use went, so please share if you can!
After my second use, I’ve decided this is something I’d like to use on a regular basis.
This is especially so since I found a few “blond” hairs from my cassia using days 
I never thought the cassia affected the few gray hairs that I have until I noticed these blondies popping up. Luckily it’s not that noticeable. But since I want to keep my gray, cassia is a no go for me.
This ZSC treatment was done using the instructions found online. If you read the last post on this subject, you will notice that I had some confusion on how to use this. Here’s what I did:
1. Mixed 50 g ZSC with water until yogurt like consistency. I also added a splash of ACV. Next time I may try adding an oil.
2. Applied to wet hair in sections and wrapped in plastic.
3. Kept on hair for a little over an hour.
4. Rinsed each section thoroughly and then dunked my head in my tub. I got this tip from SBB (check out her fotki here), who dunked hers in the sink full of water. This stuff is a mother to rinse out. So, after rinsing, dunking, and then rinsing once more while fingercombing gently, I had most of it out.There were still a few flakes here and there that disappeared once I did my DC later on that night.
5. Wore my hair naked in a fro. Rinsing upside down gives me major volume and the fingercombing on naked hair really seperated the curl.

Side
I got a lot better coverage with 50g. If you have hair around 3-4 inches or fine hair, 25g will probably be enough.
Further conclusions:
I definitly noticed a sheen to my hair. In my last ZSC post you may remember me saying that I thought I noticed it then, but it was a sure thing this time. I rarely wear my hair naked, without a leave in at least, but I did after this treatment and I could tell a big difference in the sheen. I don’t know if it’s because of it cleaning my hair or what. My hair feels springier and clean afterwards. I am going to continue using this on a regular basis to see if I find long term effects evident.
I did not notice any curl loosening or anything.
Dry, naked hair after treatment
I have to say it felt pretty soft this time too.
I wore it like this for the rest of the day and then did a DC overnight

my hair wants to be like yours when it grows up!
I have one question though. Did you dunk your hair in cool water after rinsing it in hot water? Or does it matter?
Girl, your hair is freakin’ gorgeous!!
nzinga, the directions say in hot water, so that’s what I did. I forgot to mention that, sorry.
Things went well for my second time trying ZSC. The only thing that frustrated me was how difficult it was to rinse out. I wish I had your rinsing tip last week….lol. My hair and hands were very soft after rinsing. I got better results this time. I followed up with DC then put my hair in twists. I’m glad you had a good experience. I will definitely do this treatment periodically. Adding oil….that’s a good idea. I didn’t think to add anything other than water. Thanks for the update and invite to share more with you. BTW, your hair is gorgeous!
Thank you SOOOO much for this! (Hi GiiGii!)
I have fine mostly 4b hair that’s growing really well. It’s fragile, though, and I’m not liking protective styles on me at this length. I was about to try cassia and just deal with my silver hairs turning yellow BUT yours is the first trial of ZSC I’ve seen on a hair type that’s close to mine. I need something to help thicken my strands if I’m going to keep wearing my hair out so I’m definitely going to try this. Thanks again!
