photo Link in signature. I have grown about 2.5 to 3 inches of hair from nothing ( yes I was just about bald). I currenlty trimmed 1/2 inch of a week ago. Ah how my ends feel so much better. Also I colored my hair because I was getting bored. I love the bronze cooper it's great for summer.
I'm still trying to find a regime, I think that has hinder my retention of hair. I realized in the last two week that my dry brittle hair problem is solved by using curl activator or just using Dr. Bonners peppermint shampoo. Not alot of products, yes I was definitely over doing it.
I'm currently have my hair twisted ( I have to look somewhat professional for Inroads internship). But I still plan to rock the fro this summer, I love my fro.
My proposed regime for summer:
*rinse daily to ever other day
*wash with Dr. Bonners peppermint or black soap whenever hair itches but at least once a week no matter the style.
*Use African Braid Braid Spray as a mositurizer when needed.
* Keep hair soft. No using products that cause stickness or dryness or crunchiness. Therefore I'm sticking to natural products.
* No need for daily CO washes. My hair doesn't like conditioner anymore. So I'm going to deep conditioning weekly with Lekair ( pink bottle) to maintain mositure and retain ends. Also, I think my skin ( face, chest, back ) breaks out from conditioner washes.
* Major rules: eat healthy and Leave hair alone.
Finally, donate old products to a women's shelter, no need to through them away. Any suggestions for women's shelters n Philadelphia?
I'm going to do this for the summer and see how much growth I achieve. I'll try to update monthly since I'm doing the TWA growout challenge. So I'll take pictures when I measure.
Let me know if you have any suggestions for my regimen. Enjoy the photos. Excuse the shiny face....
