12 Inches In 12 Months - 2016

I have been using something which has my hair out of wack. This week I had a ton of knots which is not like my hair.
Just in case I did a quick trim and I am going to stick to my product list and stop trying to get rid of items which do not work as well.

Lol! My bedset is cotton so I'm afraid to risk it :nono: I try to let my scalp breathe as much as I can during the day though
 
I went hair shopping today. I purchased: TGIN moisture shampoo and conditioner, Millcreek Jojoba conditioner (re-up), Camile Rose Curl Maker (re-up). I also bought something for the baby: Shea moisture Baby body wash and shampoo combo. I hope it works for his hair.

Has anyone tried the TGIN products? If so, how did you like it? I really wanted all Camille Rose products, but my Target has limited products; so I settled for TGIN. I think I will order it online.
 
I washed my hair today, after 3+ weeks of wearing it straight. I had ran out of almost all my products w/o realizing, so I had to add water to everything and surprisingly it worked out really well. I was gonna do MHM, but I was pressed for time. So I washed with very diluted shea moisture shampoo, and DC with very diluted Tressume Undone conditioner. I left the conditioner in and then applied Camille rose curl maker for my wng.

I am VERY happy to report that my curls came back undamaged!!!!!!!!!!
 
This morning I went to put my hair in a bun and I had been feeling like I did a little more than a trim. Today I measured it. and yep I did a cut. Hacked off two inches so I am back at 11 inches I think all the way around but I will check for sure on my next wash day.

I have no regrets about loosing the inches but the thing is I still have some areas with thin ends they are not damaged just uneven. I thought they would grow in but so far they have not. Now I wonder if I should just do a true major cut and begin with really healthy even ends.

**sigh** always something...

I tried TGIN yesterday and so far I really like it. I like the shampoo better than shea moisture, moisture retention shampoo; however I like shea moisture's smell, not that TGIN smells bad, lol. My curls were defined and soft after using TGIN shampoo.

The conditioner seems to be doing well in my hair. It does have a cone in it, but it's very far down in the ingredient list. I almost always use my DC as my leave-in. So this conditioner works as a double function for me. My hair feels soft and defined.

I have officially made my hair appointment to get my hair dyed blonde!!!! I'm doing a base color and then highlights. I plan on making a separate thread after my hair is done; well if it turns out ok, lol. I am SUPER excited!! I was gonna get a twistout, at the salon, but I think I'm gonna get my hair straightened.

My hair seems to be in good condition. I plan on washing my hair and blow drying it on Wed. I just need to figure out how to wear my hair to work the next day. My appointment is not until Friday.
 
Can't wait for the pics!

Thanks for sharing! I have had my eye on it for a while I think I may give it a go.
 
I am sooo sad and angry at myself!...my hair has been giving slight hints that it don't like protein ( gets drier, stiff, doesn't take moisture for days and sheds crazy) and i been ignoring it. Decided to do a hard protein yesterday and lost a whole inch of my hair!!!...last week my hair was at 3inch1/4 today im just kver two inches...it broke so so so bad...going to do moisture DC for the next 3 days and hope for the best

Threw out my Aphogee,Hask and Megatek proteins...all that money! #sob
 
Yesterday I did a henna gloss treatment for the first time.
Turned out great!

I co washed the henna out 3 times. Moisturize and seal, adding gel on top for an braid out.
I put vitamin E oil on scalp. Then tied down in silk scarf for the night.

I still have the braids in, think I will leave them in for a few days.
Mid week I will have an nice braid out.

How often do you use protein? Do you always follow up protein treatments with an moisturizing conditioner?
Also if you use products daily or weekly that has protein may not be good for your hair?
 
Generally 1× a month, my hair is fine and i ALWAYS follow with a moisture DC...when i use coconut and AVJ as is same thing happens with my hair but i can take coconut oil as an ingredient in leave-ins et.c

Awww (((hugs))). I would take a step back and stop doing so much with your hair. DC overnight and Protective style until next wash day.

I recently had a bout with using too much protein. I just followed up with moisture. I still have protein overload but it's ok b/c I'm about to color my hair.

I don't think it was necessary for you to throw out your protein conditioners.

Thank you so much @pelohello. You are right, i am doing and using tons of products i guess i'm just impatient and want it grow back already!...

Going to try and nail a simplistic cheap yet nourishing healthy regimen by my 1st BC annivesary in Oct.
 
It will work out for you @YesToHair!
Hang in there.

My hair sheds at the beginning of every season, even more in spring season. You don't want to confuse your seasonal shed to protein seeking shed.
I protein when my hair feels gummy, refusing moisture treatments. That's usually once every two months.

I'm scheduled for a hair trim tomorrow. Looking forward to it too.

Where are you going to get hair trimmed? Is it a place you are comfortable getting a trim?
I just had a flashback reading your post, of my stylist hacking inches off :mad:

I did have someone that I felt comfortable with trim my hair today. She didn't get scissor happy and she did a great job. She said I didn't have much ends to begin with and that my hair was really healthy for someone who does her own hair. I was pleased with the whole experience.
 
This afternoon I massaged some hairdrenalin potion on my scalp for 5 minutes. I will need to invert starting tomorrow along with the scalp massage.
 
I just completed a 5 minutes scalp massage followed by 5 minutes of inverting - Day 1 complete.
