Cat Eyed Cutie...I love your hair!

[Neen]

I saw your pics and your hair looks sooo beautiful and healthy

. What is your regimen? I would love to achieve length like that. What products do you use? Vitamins? What is your hair type? Sorry for all the questions but I love your hair!

Oh wow... thanks, I'm so flattered. I didn't even see that coming

. There are so many other women on this site with much longer hair than mine, I never expected to be called out. I never thought the current length of my hair was anything to talk about. Thanks so much, you've really made my day.

I was taking a pretty intensive vitamin regimen but I stopped about 3 weeks ago. I was taking biotin (10mg), silica, amino 1500, mega vitamins for the hair, flaxseed oli and msm powder.

I have very thick, dense 4a relaxed hair. I use the following shampoos and conditioners Suave tropical coconut, Suave Humectant, Neutrogena Triple Moisture, Pantene R&N, ApHogee, Clairol Daily Renewal Rehydrate formula, Biosilk Silk Therapy, Inner Science, and Garnier Fructis. I use Infusium 23 heat activated formula as my leave in, along with Tigi Bed Head Split End Mender. For styling I use Fantasia IC hair polisher or Silk Therapy to blowdry and flat iron.

I wash once a week with whatever s&c combo that tickles my fancy, and deep condition for at least an hour. I used a heat processing cap, traps your body heat and helps the conditioner to penetrate better than a plastic cap. Then I add my leave ins and blowdry. After that I flat iron. I usually have my hair in a bun by way of the baggie method. I use a satin head tie to tie it up every night. I perm with Arosci's strongest formula every 12 weeks and only trim at that time. I have a steam treatment done after my relaxer using tea tree oil products. A steamer will be my next big investment.

I'm getting my hair braided tomorrow and plan to keep it that way for the next year or 2 until I finish school. I'll still be taking pics of my roots for my growth updates tho. I think that's everything...let me know if you have any more questions.

thanks for your response. It sounds like your a bonafide PJ, like myself

It's just your hair looked so healthy and shiny and I would love to have results like that. I am currently shampooing with Elasta poo for relaxed hair and conditioning with the Affirm 5-in-1 about 2x a week. I have really short hair (the Halle Berry cut) though so washing and styling isn't much of a hassle. I'm not sure I could make it to 12 weeks without a relaxer though because my hair would be off the hook

Anyway, thanks again and happy hair growing

Luckily I'm not offended enough by that little jab not to tell you how much I like your hair too. It looks very thick and healthy

BTW, beautiful family.
