i used to use (i might do it again as everything is in the bathroom): amla prepoo shikaki to wash. henna mixed with amla powder,olive oil,eggs strenthéns my hair so well and leaves it so soft! i ran out of mustard oil. i was usin it to massage scalp like indians do. but i forgot to repurchase. i ve been relaxed for only 4 weeks now, so everything i did as a natural, i havent tried them on my relaxed hair ( scared) :-/ i wonder if any relaxed heads use only natural products....

I know a lot of ladies who only use natural hair products with great results. I myself haven't really tried any because I'm a cheap PJ lol but I would like to try using more natural hair products.
 
coolsista-paris, sorry I just can't post message on my personal profile. Je ne peux pas poster de message sur mon profil et ne peux donc pas te répondre (je suis automatiquement déconnectée toutes les 10 secondes...and yes: I'm French lol). Are you pleased with your relaxer results? Sure your relaxed HHJ will be great!!
 
~Current hair length: Below Shoulder Blade Length
~Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Loc'd: Natural, 4a, extra fine, medium-fine density
~Goal month: December 2014
~Current reggie and styling choices: Twists and Twist-outs
~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to BSL/MBL?: Not a thing. My hair is thriving under my current regimen!
~Post a beginning picture: Nope. Folk be lurking at work...
 
-Current Hair Length: Very uneven Arm Pit Length
- Multiple textures, About half tex-laxed and half natural
-I'd like to hit BSL by 5/31/14 and MBL by 12/31/14
-Current Reggie: Washing hair and DCing 1x per week, moisturizing and sealing ends daily. My go-to style is a simple bun.
-What do you plan on changing to make it to BSL/MBL? I will be taking vitamin supllements (biotin, MSM, silica, to encourage growth), completely revamping my diet by juicing 3x per day, drinking 80-90 oz of water, and exercising daily.
- Will add a picture after I wash and straighten my hair tomorrow.

ETA: Looking at my 2011 picture makes me sad. My hair was getting so healthy but one trip to the Dominican salon set me WAYYY back.

I LOVE this! I always wanted to learn french. Qui qui:)
 
Finally relaxed. Boom. Done! Slightly under processed in the back on the right side... underestimated the length of my new growth. If it starts acting funny then I'll do a corrective next month it's about an inch long. Hit my hair up with the split ender and trimmed away some of the fairy ends. Is that what dusting is? I haven't been doing the education lol.

Happy New Year 2014 is going to be great
 
Love having some hair to work with. And the banana clip is one of the most versatile tools I own. 2 days until flat iron :-)

Idk why it's hard to pick up a true texture shot but the last 2 pics resembles it the most.

I'm still waiting on my creation clip and I can begin to cut these stupid layers away.
 
Happy New Year!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you too and everyone here. Wishing everyone GREAT SUCCESS LONG LIFE, GREAT HEALTH, ACCOMPLISHED GOALS & HHG IN 2014
 
Happy New Year!

I think I may put in some Senegalese twists or braids for a couple months this year.
 
Hair dye messed me up sooooo bad last year, hence why I stayed off thr boards. Ive hacking so much off, the rest judt falling off. Split ends werent even the problem.. my hair shaft is just weak throughout so after combing my hair I would have 1-7 inch broken pieces!!

I've done protein treatments, deep moisture, everything!

After this last cut all thats left is to hide my hair. I'm armpit length now but with this kinda uneven damage its not worth even claiming. Last year I was 1.5 inches ftom BSL.

I'm relaxed. Dont know if I shud transition again and give up chemicals once and for all. Sigh
 
Froreal3, SincerelyBeautiful - I hid my hair yesterday. I had my hair put into a braid/senegalese twist combo. I am going to follow the crown & glory method. TWhen I wore braids years ago my hair would grow but ..:
  • I didn't care for it properly by moisturizing, conditioning and sealing daily
  • I had product build up
  • I would not secure the braids up at night so I would lie on them and they would pull on my hair.
  • I left them in for over 2 months
  • I took them down dry
... all BIG MISTAKES which led to hair loss and zero retention. I have learned so much since my last journey with braids thanks to the ladies here on LHCF.

ilong Before my HHJ I used to wear braids religiously. I'd do the same things you did. :nono: Since my HHJ, I haven't had braids in, but I'm thinking about trying. Only problem is I need to use up some of my stash. :look: Not sure how I can do this w/braids.
 
ckisland I usually stretch 24 weeks. This time I was sick and had surgery so I braided it in a honey comb every six weeks for a protective style since October. Now since I'm in the weightloss challenge as well I will be relaxing every 13-16 weeks and trimming after.
 
As promised, here is my starting pic: image-3207869226.jpg

This pic pick was taken with my bra over my measurement T last week. It will give you an idea of where BSL falls on me:

My hair isn't completely straight, but this will give a good idea of where I am at. Although I did a light trim (about an inch), I would like to trim some more. I don't like how see through those ends are. Hopefully when the March length check comes around I will be right where I want to be (full luscious BSL). Then onward to MBL! Happy growing ladies! :-)

Dc-ing under bonnet dryer then m&s in twists to bun. My hair is already thanking me for this, I've been a bit neglectful recently.
 
Current hair length: SL/Collar bone length
Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Loc'd: Relaxed
Goal month: December 2014
Current reggie and styling choices: Moisturise/seal daily, deep condition 2x week, wash (with pre-poo + moisturising shampoo) 1x week, clarify when needed, protein when needed, colour rinse 1x month, relax every 12-14 weeks. I keep my hair off my clothes at all times in a variety of styles, e.g. buns, loose updos and large flat twists
What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to BSL/MBL?: I just started all of this in November so it's early days. I think I'm on the right track though and I'll just continue with what I've been doing!
