Ok remember I said I have a sew-in? well I did it myself and this time I'm determined to keep it in. I feel like everyone can see my tracks though. next time, I'm letting a professional do it. Here are the pics though. Hoping to keep this in unil the first week of Feb. (don't mind the faces, I was making love to the camera and showing out with my sister)
Okay I've decided to go get my ends trimmed. I'm totally feeling bummed about my hair so I need to start fresh. Fresh reggie, fresh products, fresh cut.
You know I'm scared to lose any length so I'm not gonna get too much taking off lol
MsCoco are you still using your NuGro I am!
I am totally dragging my feet with my hair today.
Going to give myself an Aphogee 2 step protein treatment
Steam with Alter Ego
then sit with my silk elements for about 3 hours
Next week I will just use Steam with Aphogee 2 minute; then condition again for 3 hours before getting my hair braided.
Your progress was AWESOME Rossy! Couldn't be prouder of you girl. I hope I don't need much cut off, but whatever it takes is what needs to be done.
I know what you mean Nikki, I felt the same way when JJamiah told me to trim my ends. However from that time I have noticed significant growth etc. I went from SL to NL/ear lenght but it was worth it. My hair is more healthy and fuller.
Wow. I just realized this challenge ends in two days. LOL. CLEARLY I've been M.I.A. Okay, well I used another pass and I've been planning to flat iron again this week. Hasn't happened yet. LOL. Maybe I really will tomorrow. Then I'll take photos.

I'm so heatphobic I didn't want the salon using heat for my reveal pic but I gave in. lol.I'm heatphobic lol. I won't be using any really for the next 6 months. I barely use the blow dryer anymore. Only when I get braids done and even then I don't use it much. I let my hair dry about 90% of the way then blow dry on a low setting the rest of the way.

JJamaih does the nugro work
Well for you? Do you only use it on braided hair?
Thank you Nikki!!! I saw your progress pics and your ends are not so bad like i say you made progress and thats what we always want to hear or see PROGRESS. My ends were horrible pic below. Personally I dont think you will need to trim so much but just take the advice from those who know better. Im only six month old to my HHJ and it took me 4 months to know what is right for my hair.
Ok...so, I said i'd do the challenge. But there was a huge setback. erplexed Here goes...so off I went to university in september. WooHoo!!!
For the first time living independently. This resulted in consumption of a highly UNBALANCED diet, lack of care for my hair (I had the same sew-in from september to december), no daily moisturizing.
School life left me constantly stressed sooooo I wasn't suprised when I took off my sew-in after 4 months. I detangled my hair and in the process of washing and combing, balls of it literally came out. I nearly cried. My front hair is half gone...I think my hair line danced backwards. My once-full hair was soo thin and frail.
I am now nursing it back to health! Learn from this ladies!!
