I don't think there is enough product in the sample kit to last a week--maybe enough for 2nd day hair only. I think (if I remember correctly) that I have 3C/4A hair. Love the forums and everyone's helpful and pleasant attitudes on the site. I'm very glad that I discovered these products and can't wait to try it. Any advice is appreciated.

Hello, and welcome to the world of transitioning!
The Curls Milhake will make your new growth and relaxed hair more manageable, moisturized, and smoother. Also, when it comes to Curls Milkshake making your hair curly, it only helps to make the natural waviness or curlines of one's hair better defined. As, it is not necessarily a curl activating product, but instead more of a curl taming product instead.
Also, the sample sizes of the products have approximately 2-4 applications worth of product in them. And, this of course is dependent upon how thick, dry, or long one's hair is.
And, in regards to you using a blow dryer or hooded dryer to dry your hair with after appling product to it, I don't necessarily feel that it it is a tototaly bad idea. As, you can use a blowdryer or hooded dryer to dry your hair with. However, if you do decide to use direct heat to dry your hair, then always make sure that you do this:
1. Let your hair dry with a blowdryer or hoded dryer on its lowest heat setting until your hair is at least 75 percent dry.
2. After your hair is at least 75 percent dry, then you would put the blowdryer or hooded dryer on its coolest setting, while leting your hair continue to dry the next 25 percent this way.
Oh, and if you do decided to blowdry or hood dry, then you can expect to see more volume and shrinkage that way. So, I just thought that I would share this with you.
Good luck using the products! And, if you have any more questions, then definitely don't hesitate to ask them.
