Not trimming has helped me. My hair is shoulder length and I wonder how long it would be if I didn't trim those many many many times.

Your hair is gorgeous.
 
  • Protective Styling
  • Washing My hair (I can't cowash) 2 x a week
  • Stretching Relaxers
  • Moisturising with Silk Elements Moisturising sealing with Hot 6 oil
  • Deep conditioing For an hour 2 x a week
  • AIRDRYING
  • Rollersetting when wearing my hair out

That's all there is to my reggie. I like to keep it simple.

I keep saying that I will add this to my reggie,I really need to cut out the heat:yep:
 
how much elastic mango butter do u put on ur ends when i triedit made my hair stiff maybe i used to much do use it on wet or dry hair
 
WTG!! :yay:


What helped me was limiting heat, co washes, low manipulation, exercising and staying on point with my vitamin reggie.:grin:

Your hair is beautiful and it looks so nice and healthy. Great progress!
 
You've made such great progress! Your hair is so purdy :D

What's helped me is:
-Stretching 3 months or more
-Dusting (very rarely trim) only as needed
-Keeping ends wet and moisturized and in a bun :yay:
-Deep conditioning twice a week
-Sleeping with my hair protected
-Using cones :grin:
 
*Getting rid of the serious damage first
*Protective styling 85% of the time
*Frequent cowashes
*Switching relaxer strengths
 
-Stretching (12+ weeks)
-low manipulation (combing 1x a week)
-lots of moisturising and sealing
-Protective styling (updos and bunning)


These helped me to the length I am now and I'm sure they'll get me to WL:drunk:
 
My problem is I'm not long enough yet to wear in a loose bun, so I have to wear a tighter more slicked down bun & add hair. I am on a constant quest for a product that will moisturize, slick down edges, and tame the beast called NG:lachen: any suggestions will be welcomed.I pretty much follow your same reggie except I'm currently using MT/OCT. By the way great progress, your hair is beautiful. LOVE THE V!!!!
 
Wow, you have had great progress as well! Congradulations on the length and healthy hair!

  • no combing dry hair
  • DCing on dry hair
  • styling hair either by airdrying & doing braidouts or rollersetting
  • washing in braids & combing/detangling in the shower w/lots of condish
  • using seamless combs
  • using conditioner as leave-in when airdrying
 
I started my journey this past June and the first thing I started was cowashing. I love it. Cowashing and DC 2X a week did wonders on my hair.

My basics that are helping with my growth are:

Co-washing 3-4 times a week
DC twice a week
No heat! air drying and not using curling irons or flat irons
sleeping with a satan cap (not trying to be too cute when I go to sleep!)

My techniques are the same as yours:grin: Now that I'm almost MB, I trim a little every 3 months (only for neatness purposes) I also baggie my ends instead of bunning BUT we both use EQP. I also use Profective Healthy Ends sometimes. I seal with Jamacian Black Castor Oil and Coconut Oil!

Your hair is looking beautiful btw:yep:

Me too girlie, only time I use direct heat is @ relax time. If I occasionally have to go to a function, and it's not relax time, then I use indirect heat, and rollerset.
