I just did a 3 minute scalp massage with sulfur oil and sprayed Chi Keratin mist on my ends. Now I'm wearing a baggy for about 30 minutes. I'm ready to do my next round of inverstions starting on the 1st.
 
For CoWash Saturday, I:

  • Pre-poo'd overnight with my AVJ mix and Spectrum coconut oil on the ends.
  • I applied Shea Moisture Manuka DC and went under my heat cap for a little over 1 hour.
  • Used CC Natural's scalp scrub, CW'd my length with Jakeala Flax Mallow, reconstructed with Ion & rinsed out 80% of Oyin Honey Hemp Conditioner.
  • LCOB'd with L = Jakeala Pineapple Protein Spray, C = Treluxe Untie the Knot & Hawaiian Silky, O = Queens Curls Safflower & Macadamia Healing on length & Kreyol Essence Lemon HBCO on edges & B = Hairitage Hydration Caramel Frappuccino on scalp & Zipporah Beauty Sweet Orange Shea Cocoa Moist on ends.

I was not ready for that confirmation :cry2:. I'm way in my feelings. I still do not know what is/was the cause of my breakage. I treat her better than just about anything else at the moment so I don't know why she doing me so bad :angry2: . All I do for her!! Thanks for the advice you are absolutely right.

I had to cut to neck length b/c of over moisturized hair causing splits and breakage and handling my hair too rough. Just do it, don't be afraid. In a year I went from nl to almost apl, and this time around its healthier. It's worth it in the end!
 
Just washed and set my hair after I co washed and air dried earlier this week, it feels great!!! I've been consistently taking biotin and was using MN until the end of January, I'm about to start again. Did a texlax touch up in the middle of February. I drink a green smoothie almost every day and have been eating eggs more regularly and drink tons of water. Also I do scalp massages with oil or sulfer 8. I am determined to grow my hair back out lol, lesson learned No More Impulsive Cuts! Can't wait until length check time!
 
Doesn't look like I have retained anything. ......maybe I will straighten and do a comparison pic that way to really see, but I think I will be disappointed. ....

19 weeks post relaxer and this stretch has been quite easy...My ayurvedic regimen helping a lot as well as wigging ...Who would have thot wearing wigs could be so much fun????
Still taking my hair vitamins though sometimes i get lazy and skip. No more trimming my hair though as i have trimmed it twice this year
 
Shampooed with TJ tea tree tingle, steam DCd with SM JBCO masque and sprayed with Aphogee restructurizer. Sealed length with Megatek I'm almost done with and sealed the end with one of those greases with the herbs in it.

It was so easy doing my hair bc I'm in flat twists with the hang time braided. I hadn't DCed in over a week but I would let my hair get wet in the shower and then spray with the Aphogee and seal ends with an oil.

Think I will leave the twists in till next week then wash, DC, blow dry and flat twist to continue wearing wigs til it gets too hot for them.
 
I have to take these braids out and give my hair some much needed TLC tonight since I have jury duty and a couple of other things going on the month of march. I plan to prepoo and then shampoo/deep condition blowdry and rebraid since I won't have time for much else. I am curious to see how much length I got from leaving it alone all month
 
Woo chileeee! It took me 2 hours to thoroughly trim my hair. I mean verry thoroughly. I blow dried, clipped ends, put them in small twists, and trimmed each twist by going up the length and clipping all the hairs poking out. From now on I will trim twice a year instead of once :spinning:
 
Did a mid-week co-wash and tried Aussie Moist 3 minute miracle. I really liked it and the slip was on point! Currently sitting under the dryer with Vatika Black Seed hair mask for 45 minutes. I'll do a braid out with ecostyler gel and KCKT leave-in that will take me to Friday. Friday is LC day, it will be the first time I have straightened my hair since 12/31. I must admit I'm a little nervous don't want to get heat damage. Not using heat has been easier than I thought. I may try to stretch my next flat iron till 6 months instead of almost 3. I could do my June LC with a good blow-dry. Also looking forward to a good trim, my ends really need it. Haven't trimmed since September-ish.
