:wow:Your hair looks great!! So shiny and healthy, congratulations.
I am so happy! I just got a relaxer, trim and style today at 10 weeks, and I just noticed my jacked up “W” shaped ends have filled in! I feel like I can finally focus on length. Up to now it's been all about slowly trimming away ends while trying to stay at SL, but now I think I can make APL next year!
The 9 months really flew by because my beloved half wigs made it so interesting...new hair every week and little damage!
I wish I could wear my hair like this every day! Even my husband said, "So this means you can stop wearing wigs now, right?" No! I said I don't want to lose any progress I made, by daily styling or heat. But I do want to try braidouts or rollersets, now that my ends are not see through.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!! I got so much of my motivation from you ladies here! This is my regimen (from my fotki...check it out!)
My WASH regimen (once or twice a week)
-Wash with non-sulfate poo (2 lathers)
-Dry (t-shirt dry for 5 min)
-Deep Condition (Maybe add oils and honey; leave on for one hour to overnight)
-Dry (t-shirt dry for 5 min)
-Apply liquid water based leave in
-Moisturize/seal and place hair in a damp bun
-Scarf method to air dry and smooth edges
My COWASH Regimen (Once or twice a week)
-Co wash with Hair One or any other conditioner
-T-shirt dry for 5 min
-Apply liquid water based leave in
-Moisturize/seal and place hair in a damp bun
-Scarf method to air dry and smooth edges
My Daily Moisturizing Regimen
-Divide hair into 4 or 6 sections
-Apply water based moisturizer from spray bottle (carefree curl gold, braid spray, wave nouveau and water, or s-curl and water)
-Apply creamy moisturizer/cream leave in (whatever I'm feeling at the moment; I have so many!)
-Seal with oil
-Baggy bun and wrap with scarf or put on half wig, full wig, or ponytail
I have tried so many products, also in my fotki... but I love wave nouveau and coconut oil. I ponytail baggy under all my wigs and usually dont leave any hair out in front. I never use heat at home.
