Hi :)

I just wanted to share my progress with you. For those who don't know, this is where I started:

I really hope I can make WL next year; sometimes it seems like my hair isn't growing that much anymore.

Anyway for anyone who is interested here is my regimen.

Pre-poo, wash and DC with steam once per week. I wash my hair with Hairveda's shikakai bar and I tend to use AO conditioners to prepoo or maybe some yogurt, eggs, avocado or whatever is lying around the kitchen :). I really love Hairveda's Sitrinillah conditioner to DC. I use an ACV rinse before I condition, sometimes after depending on how I feel.

I air dry in 8 twists that have been moisturised with Komaza care califa leave in and sealed with Hairveda cocasta oil or almond glaze.

Next day I will style in a bun using IC fantasia gel and will normally keep that same bun in for a week.

I also wear my hair in braids from time to time following the crown and glory method.

Beautiful. Just Beautiful. I especially like the updo where you are wearing the red shirt.

Just look at those first pics. Great transformation. What has been the reactions of the people around you that have seen your hair grown so much? Were that doubtful when you started your HHJ?
 
Great progress! And you have really smooth skin! can we get a hair and skin regimen?

Thank you. My sisters never thought my hair would grow and used to tease me about my short hair but my mum was supportive and started crown and glory too. My SO used to say things like "don't expect too much I don't want you to get upset if your hair doesn't grow". Otherwise I don't get out much so no one knows/cares about what my hair looks like lol.

Thank you. I put my regi in the OP and for my skin I oil cleanse every night and use 5% salicylic acid or plain water in the mornings. I moisturise with a vitamin C serum and the main thing I use is bare minerals original foundation :grin:

tres jolie!!!!
 
Beautiful hair!!! How often do you trim? How are you able to keep it in a bun all week, esp during bedtime? Do you have to remoisture? How long will you leave it straightened? It looks professionally done. Your pictures are inspiring!!! :)
 
LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR HAIR!!!

Do you color it, or use henna? In some pics your hair is brown, and in others it looks a natural black. I'm trying to decide what to do with mine, since I seem to have random golden brown patches. :perplexed:
