Hey ladies! My 1 year HHJ anniversary was June 6th, and yesterday, June 22nd, marked 1 year since I began my transition to natural hair. I've learned so much on the board this past year and have gone from barely SL to touching BSL! I began grazing BSL toward the end of May, so it took me little under 12 months to go from SL to BSL! I'm so glad I joined LHCF and thank all you fabulous ladies for the information you share!
My reggie is simple:
-Shampoo with CON 1 time a week. I sometimes alternate shampooing for ACV rinse.
-DC with ORS mixed with EVOO and EVCO 1 time a week.
-Co wash maybe 1 -2 times a week w/VO5 Moistures Milk.
- Do Aphogee 2 min, every blue moon.
-Protective styles! Wore half wigs and lace fronts alot the 1st 6 months of hhj. Last 6 months have done mainly sew-ins and crochets. In between installs would do buns, and phony ponies.
Over the last month been wearing my own hair and doing buns, curly puff, or hair up in a clip.
That's basically it. I only comb on wash day, and just use NTM as my moisturizer and seal with EVCO. Use castor oil for edges.
So... on to the pics! (sorry some of the pics are small thumbnail size, but it only let me post so many larger pics before I exceeded the bandwith.)
Starting pic. Couple weeks after joining the board and the day I got my last relaxer. My hair was trimmed about an inch and flat ironed.
