[PIC HEAVY] My Hair Throughout 2011

[CityGirlLuv]

The year's almost over and I had a date today so I figured I'd straighten my hair just to check the length since I hadn't done so since September. Anyways, I'm going to post pictures from when I chopped the ragged ends in January all the way up to now. Btw, I don't measure my hair b/c I have layers and it wouldn't be accurate if I did that so there won't be any measurements here.

Reggie: I take my multivitamin - Alive! Women's Energy and Bamboo Silica (from Swanson Vitamins) everyday!

From September on to now I wore twists a lot. I'm still flat ironed as we speak, but I'll be going back to twists really soon.

I only use Darcy's Botanical, Shea Moisture, Chagrin Valley, Aubrey Organics, and Little Penguin's Honey and Vanilla Bean smoothie in my hair.

I also sometimes use brahmi, amla, and bringaraj oils in my hair.

Mostly though, I just wear twists and keep them moisturized. I am about to really stick to a specific regimen as I'm going to incorporate more ayurvedic herbs into my hair. Also I eat a lot of sushi (Philadelphia Rolls) and I drink a lot of water.

I wash my hair either with the Ayurvedic Bar, Cafe Moreno bar, or Shea moisture retention shampoo. If I use the bars, I condition with AO Honeysuckle Conditioner. If I use the retention shampoo i use the restorative conditioner.

I moisturize my hair with Shea Moisture's Curl Enhancing smoothie, Darcy's Botanical transitioning cream, the pumpkin conditioner, madagascar vanilla stuff, and the avocado honey twist on each section before i actually twist. After I'm done twisting I spray the herbal mist (from Darcy's), rub almond oil throughout all the twists at once and sometimes put Darcy's daily leave in throughtout all the twists also. Then I'll wear a bonnet at night. Throughout the week if my hair is dry, I'll run water on it when i'm in the shower.

I also tie up and bobby pin the twists so the ends aren't out in the open. I work at lowes and yeah don't need hair all in my face.

The honey and vanilla bean smoothie i just received so I just started using that on my hair also.

Sometimes I deep condition with the restorative mask from shea moisture and sometimes I use AO's GPB conditioner.
