I can't state anything that hasn't already been mentioned...so I'll just say

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

You've done an amazing job!!!!

Now, post that regimen that we're all clamoring for:sekret:

**Not that my hair would ever look like yours even if I follow it to the letter**

Dsylla, can you please post your regimen?

Sure thing :)

I have to first say that my regimen is changing because my hair has been shedding.

I frequently conditioner wash (3 - 5 times a week) and I let it air dry. I use heat 1 or twice a month on a low setting. I never aim to get it super straight as I like my hair with body and texture.

I'm texlaxed and I relax every 8 - 13 weeks. I leave the relaxer on for 5 minutes with little to no smoothing. I am thinking about transitioning or doing loonnng stretches.

I :love: CON shampoo, but I'm trying to move away from it and go a more healthy route. For instance, when I hope in the shower to wash my hair, I'll detangle with CON, but then I wash it out with Burt Bee's shampoo, which is PH balanced. (thanks Gymfreak)

I was using SAA in my products but I think i'm allergic.

My staples at the moment are Emu oil (still investigating...)
CHI Silk infusion
Lekair Cholestorol

I :love: flexi rods.

I do green smoothies for hair (thanks Vester!) and I take the following supplements:

Flax Seed Oil by Spectrum - thanks Isis
MSM
Green Vibrance in my smoothies
MegaFood Women's One Daily
Calcium with Magnesium
Iron
Digest More Ultra (when needed)
Milk thistle when I remember


I work out 3 - 5 times a week and I believe that was been a major contributor to my hair growth.

I think you are waist length :yep: the strand is longer than waist. Regardless, by the end of spring all your hair should have caught up to "the strand" :drunk:

WOW, that's such amazing growth in such a short time! You've been one of my hair idols since I found LHCF. You are definitely waistlength...I'd claim it :grin:

your hair is fabulous!!!

btw how often do you detangle?
and what kind of styling tools do u use?
 
Hi everyone,

I'm not exactly a newbie because i have lurked since 12/05 then i finally joined early in 2006 but never posted. (i was busy with school, work,etc)
DSylla has been one of my hair idols here. (Congratulations girl, you're hair is absolutely beautiful) :yay::yay:
I am natural (last relaxer was 7/99) who now presses once a week or every 12 days or so. (I seem to have less shedding/knots if I add heat to my hair) My hair is 4a/b and i wonder if texturizing or texlaxing has contributed to your growth compared to when you were totally natural. Since if your texlaxed or texturized you can do con-washes frequently during the week. From all the posts that I have ever read, it seems that those who wash/con-wash frequently have faster growth.

Any thoughts?

I detangle approx 2 - 3 times a week.

I have a big and small tooth comb, some elastic "rubber" bands, my beloved flexi rods and a maxi glide that I use approx twice a month.

Thanks for the nice compliments ladies :)

Hi and welcome :wave:

I was never totally natural. I transitioned for 7 months when I first joined lhcf. Looking back, i think one of the reasons I failed my transition is because I was new and I didn't really understand my hair.

I am very tempted to try again.

for me, texlaxing allowed me to see length, but i'm not sure if it grew any faster. con-washes definitely allows me to retain length. :yep:
