I've tried it. I used the honey and oats and I didn't like it. It made my hair feel dry. But don't take my word for it. Try it out yourself. Your hair may like it. I know a lot of other people seem to like it but my hair didn't respond well to it.
I really like Chagrin Valley shampoo bars. They have a nice lather and they clean my hair without stripping it. I couldn't be without it.
I read shampoo bars can react that way with hard water, but my water wasn't hard.

I have them and like them. I bought a few so there are more to try. If start with one of the sample size bars if you're interested in trying them.

I'm almost certain that I'm cutting tomorrow. I think it'll be better to keep my hair short while I fugure out whats causing the thinning and fix it.
So I'm either doing a sl a-line bob or cutting back to my larger fro I had going last year. I hate to lose all of my progress but I rather have short healthy hair that I can grow out later than long see through hair with three strands of hair holding on for dear life lol

OMG!!!! Your hair looks beautiful, shiny and healthy. I hope the cut comes out good. But your hair grows quickly anyway

My brother doesn't like it lol. I wont know if it came out well till it dries. I washed it very well, put my leave in and butter grease in. Just waiting for it to dry then I'll take pix. Maybe cut more. Who knows lol

Im with you on health over length. Have u figured out what's causing the thinning? Im having issues with breakage. Mine's is from stress, poor eating habits & lack of exercise.
Ur lucky, your hair grows so fast, you'll be bsl in no time

Still not sure. Doc says its also due to stress and poor eating habits. All of my tests have come back normal.
So annoyed. I'm happy that I cut but now that I cant make a bun I got sad. And the a-line curly is looking more like a reverse mullet. Think t-boz but butchered o_o
So I'm rounding out the cut to make all the hair one length across the head.

It'll get better. Stress & poor eating habits can wreck havoc on not only ur hair but ur skin & ur mood. Its def an eye opener for me. I plan on rejoining weight watchers & planet fitness next week. And to deal with my stress (& personal issues), i started seeing a therapist.
Do u intend to make any life changes? Maybe make little changes at 1st.
Ps: i plan on cutting my hair to NL in 2wks

I'm usually yelling stop the cutting too. But it was a must. Right now once my money situation is better then I can eat bettet. There's no excuse for my lack of working out other than being lazy and feeling sorry for my self lol.
Baby steps though. Baby steps

Currently DC with a ton of various conditioners that i mixed 2gether. I mixed conditioners that i hated or only had alittle bit left.
I also tried out my Denman brush again on my natural hair. That thing is AMAZING! ! When i was natural before i never had any curls, it was always a frizzy, tangle mess. The brush made my curls clump 2gether.
The 1st pic is w/o product on wet hair. The other pics are with my mixed conditioners ; but both with using the brush

Well i straightened my hair. The good news is i made mbl, the bad news is i had to cut my hair due to damage. So my length now is still bsb.
Im not really liking this flat iron job. One side is nice, sleek & healthy but the other side feels frizzy & poofy. I think its because i used too much heat protectant.
On to the pics. The 1st pic is before the trim, the 2nd pic is after. IDK why the 2nd pic is side ways

YaY I'm definitely past APL and I THINK I'm running up on BSB or past it!
woot woot
I'm working on MBL by the end of this year or close to it!
After having my wife do some measurements I'm about 6 inches ~1 year+ away from my waist.
(longest layer not full, thats the NEXT accomplishment)
Attached are a few photos, 1 before I washed my hair, 2 washed, air dried, lightly flat ironed (first time on my HHJ and I was ADMITTEDLY scared)
Good luck to everyone on their journey! There are so many lovely heads of hair in here! Mucho inspiration!
