no problem, skegees! i appreciate your continued support and love!
thanks to everyone for all the compliments. y'all know i couldn't have done it without these hair boards. to those just getting started, please know that the only difference between my hair and yours is time!!
i've been consistent with my current regime (with a few tweaks) for 3½ years.
i encourage everyone to take as many photos as you can to document their progress. even if you never share them with anyone, at least you will know for yourself that you're getting somewhere. i can't tell you how many times i wanted to give up because i thought my hair wasn't growing. taking the photos let me know differently.
honi, my favorite reaction is always from the fellas. when i wear a bun/drawstring, i seem to be invisible to most of them, but when i wear it down, most of them are invisible to me...
people that haven't seen me for a while are usually really shocked. some ask how i did it. some feel for tracks. some ask if it's a wig or weave. you name it, i've seen it. i TRY to take it all as a compliment...
sillygurl, leejure just playing. she's like the little sister i never had. in fact... immo beat her up the next time i see her!
anyway, for those that asked, i'm posting my regime below.
----------
<font color="blue">ADRIENNE'S REGIME
In my opinion, these are the two most important rules to achieving your goals:
1. Find the products that are right for your hair, and stop switching to other stuff when someone recommends things.
2. Leave your hair alone as much as possible. This was more important than the first for me. I used to blow dry and curl my hair twice a week. After I got braids and did nothing, that's when it grew. They're not for everybody, but if you can sport them, I highly recommend it.
My hair policy is "less is more"... less manipulation... less heat... less product switching... I put different stuff on my hair depending on how I’m wearing it. So I’ll list it separately. Basically, I’ve been washing my hair once a week. If my scalp is itching bad, I’ll either rinse and condition or wash again depending on why it's itching (dandruff vs. sweaty). I wear my hair up 90% of the time. I think this has helped keep my ends from thinning too much.
-------------------
I’ve had psoriasis since about the age of 15. Because if this I’ve always been in the habit of washing my hair often. I’m currently washing it once or twice a week depending on the amount of flakes or itchiness that I have. My goal is to wash just once a week though.
UPDO:
- Do an initial wash with Elasta QP Bodifying shampoo to remove Vaseline and other product buildup. This shampoo is really gentle and doesn’t strip the hair or leave it hard. Using it means I can use less of the rest of the other products.
- Wash with prescription-strength Nizoral shampoo. I let it sit for at least five minutes as directed. After that, I work in some KeraCare Hydrating Detangling shampoo on top of the Nizoral before rinsing.
- Condition with KeraCare Humecto Cream conditioner. Every other week, I do a protein conditioning with Aubrey GPB.
- Apply Elasta QP Recovery as leave-in and finger comb. Then apply a mixture of 1/2 World of Curls Activator and 1/2 Fantasia IC Hair Polisher gel (I have this pre-mixed in a separate container).
- For the bun: I put Vaseline on my ends, and braid the hair. I wrap it around itself and put a baggie over it. Then I cover it with a cut-off stocking. I put the drawstring ponytail over the stocking and put two scrunchies around it.
- Wrap head at night with silk or satin scarf.
DOWN:
- Wash and condition same as above
- Apply Elasta QP Recovery as leave-in and finger comb. Then I work a small amount of Breakthru Heat Style Protecting Foam through my hair. I blow dry on a medium setting. Then I curl or flat iron on 7 or 8 setting. I usually roll it as I go to get the hair out of my way. After I’m finished curling, and before I comb it, I ALWAYS spray some kind of sheen on (right now, it's KeraCare) and rub Avon Dry Ends Serum through it. Both of these products prevent breakage from static. The Avon stuff also smells great! I recently started using Frizz Ease Secret Weapon styling cream daily for my ends.
- I wrap my hair every night, and sometimes use the Caruso rollers in the morning. I LOVE those things! I put both the KeraCare sheen and Avon Serum on before I comb it in the morning.
TRIMS:
- Never on a schedule, only when needed
RELAXER:
- Affirm Lye every 3 months
VITAMINS:
- Central-Vite Multi Vitamin with Antioxidants (1/day)
• overall health
- Kal Super Silica Plus, 400mg (1/day)
• hair growth rate, nail health
- Vitamin Shoppe Biotin, 5mg (1/day)
• hair growth rate, psoriasis, nail health
- Vitamin Shoppe MSM, 1000mg (2/day)
• hair health, allergies, joint health
- Vitamin Shoppe Evening Primrose Oil, 1300mg (1/day)
• EFA, psoriasis, cholesterol
- Nature's Bounty Combo Vitamin C & E (1/day)
• C (500mg): antioxidant, boosts immune system, aids vitamin absorption
• E (400IU): antioxidant, boost immune system
- Vitamin Shoppe Pantothenic Acid/B5, 500mg (1/day)
• hair thickness, growth rate, acne
I take all of the supplements at once first thing in the morning with my protein shake. I haven't had any discomfort from doing it this way. I think everything that I take benefits my body in other ways in addition to my hair.
That's about it.</font>
