Hey Ladies!! First of all, thanks to all the lovely ladies on this board for offering so much information to help us all have the hair that we've always wanted. I have changed my entire routine since finding this site and I now realize that having long hair is a CHOICE and is also accompanied by lifestyle changes from diet to avoiding stress to exercise...I can go on and on. And I have made it my point to share what I've learned with sistas on the street who may not have access to this site. So with that said, I love ya'll!! Happy New Year and Happy Hair Growing!! MBL in 2011?.....:spinning:

JANUARY 2009 (when I first joined LHCF)

JANUARY 2010 (my goal at this point was health before length)

Of course.....hmmm, where to start...

*Well first of all, my major change was switching from No-Lye to Lye *Relaxer (Silk Elements). I noticed the change as soon as I rinsed it out!
*I also add EVOO to my relaxer....
*I try to stretch my relaxer for at least 16 weeks....(but it is primary
based on the amount of new growth I have
*Poo once a week (Nexxus Therappe)
*Aphogee 2-minute Constructor after each wash (my hair loves protein)
*Detangle in shower w/Jibere shower comb (seamless!). I also use the
same comb anytime I need to comb my hair during the week (rare)
*Deep condish w/heat after each wash (Silk Elements Megasilk Olive
Moisturizing Treatment)
*Clarify once a month with Nexxue Aloe Rid (or twice a month if
necessary.
*Hard Protein Treatment after each relaxer (Aphogee 2 step)
*Leave-in: Rusk leave-in (thanks Sylver!)
*Daily Moisturizer: NTM leave-in
*I only seal during the winter, because my hair and scalp gets soooo dry
during those months!! btw, I use EVOO to seal.
*Limited heat usage and manipulation---Always, always, always air dry
and occassional flat iron (unless a special occassion like New Year's Eve
require me to swang!)
*My three low-maintence styles are a single braid to the back, braidout,
and the simple bun.
*Trims as needed (search and destroy method)

I've also started doing scalp massages with EVOO, so we'll see if that makes a difference...it sure feels good if anything!:yep:

Oh yeah btw, I DID NONE OF THIS STUFF PRIOR TO LCHF! :nono: I would jus use a cheap poo and condish (like Suave), no protein, blow dry/flat iron once a week or more! No wonder my hair was breaking...
