My hair is making me angry!!!
Nothing seems to be working well enough.
When I first joined LHCF I had everything together. I had a simple regime which included Fantasia IC Shampoo, Leave-in with aloe, LeKair Cholestoral Deep Conditioner (Peach), and WGO. It took so long for me to find what works, so I was happy. Each and every week my hair came out pretty and silky for a year or more. The only thing that bothered me was the fact the WGO smoked with the use of heat. I didn’t want to smell like I had just finished smoking right after I finished flat ironing, so I stop using WGO and switch to Kemi-Oyl at the very end of December 04.
This is when all my problems started. Like I said, I switch WGO to Kemi, and continued to use the other products. I guess I was looking for the same benefits from Kemi that WGO gave me, so in order to get those benefits I used Kemi on my dry hair at least twice daily. Not knowing that I was setting my hair up to experience damage and a lot of breakage by doing so. I’ve always added WGO on dry hair, but only once during the week until my next wash and I’ve never experience damage or breakage for a year, so I didn’t think adding Kemi on dry hair would damage my hair...because it was an oil too.
After noticing the breakage and damage I new that it had to be Kemi. What else…all of my other products where the same. I switched back to WGO, but I could not stand the smoke, and when I read that the fact that I put oil on dry hair too often cause my hair to break. I then realized that it was all my fault I switched back to Kemi. The breakage caused me to have to trim off a lot of my ends.
Then, I started to want something to make my hair stronger (after experiencing all that breakage), so I bought MNT shampoo and conditioner and feel in love with it. I’m still using it now, but I find myself adding and switching products again and again.
Worse of all, my hair is much drier than it was with my old products. I just bought Amla Hair Oil, and I'm not sure that I love it. My hair is still dry!
I don’t like having to swtich, add and drop products like that, but I have the short broken off hairs that are growing back in the crown area(always my trouble area)and my hair is not laying down like it used to(I guess because broken off hair are too short), so I'm trying to find out which of the products that I'm using now works best together. I do know that my old products worked great together, but all but one is compeltely gone.
I’m driving myself crazy with this hair. I’m sitting here thinking that I’ve have been switching back and forth adding and dropping products in only four months.
Now, I just want all my old products that I started with back, so that all this madness can stop and I could be happy with my hair again. It feels like I'm becoming a product junkie again, so I definitley will be going back to my old products.
And because of all this, I have no growth progress(in four months).
Am I the only one going threw this?!?!

maybe i'll try the WGO, i've been using hot6 oil and it works great, i bought the kemi oil but i don't use it because it doesn't list what oils are in it. it just says 'essential oils'. well we all know that can be anything. perhaps the kemi oil is your problem. well anyways,im just rambling..... good luck in getting back your simple routine....
I think I still have a full bottle of the pink stuff(if I didn't trash it).
That was the best $78 I spent in a long time. Trust me because I am a shopaholic. Are you doing in pre poo treatments. They really work great on dry hair and help with breakage. I either do a hot oil or use cholesterol and love it. I hope everything works out for you. What type of shampoo are you using? Do you clarify? Another thing, I am really into moisturizing shampoos.
I will...
I thought that Kemi would work as well as WGO did. I tried to love it, but I just couldn't. I'm going back to what I know works for my hair and that's using WGO.
