Count-Down To 40 ~ Hair

[MonaRae]

Hello Ladies

I will be turning 40 (Lord's Willing) next year and my goal is to have waistlength hair by then. Currently I have about 12 inches from the crown down and for me waistlength means another 9 inches for a total of 21 inches from the crown.

Current Regimen

Daily ~ BT with scalp message
Daily ~ Protective styles only
Weekly ~ Wash/Condish with Phyto Intense Moisture products
Weekly ~ Cassia
Relaxer ~ PhytoRelaxer Index II

I am looking for a really good all natural moisturizer. I was using Phyto's but its too costly. I will look into Patient1's product line. I'm open to suggestions here on her products.

I will greatly appreciate any advice to help me on my journey!

You seem to have a solid regimen. Best of luck on your goal. If you're not waist-length by then I know you'll be close to it.

I highly suggest Qhemet Biologics Amla & Olive Heavy Cream for a moisturizer. HHG!!!

Thank you! I will look into Qhemet Biologics Amla & Olive Heavy Cream.

I'm not relaxed but I straighten my hair with heat monthly and I use Aveda's Elixir daily leave-on conditioner. It really keeps my hair soft and moisturized.

Good luck Mona!!! Ure regimen sounds great!!! I have no doubt in my mind that you'll make that goal!!!!

Keep us posted!!!

OT: I love the quote in ure siggy!

Thx KiniKakes! I am very impressed with your growth rate. Do you mind sharing what you use for moisture?

I'm dumbfounded with my hair at this time! I have been on this hair journey for 1.5 years now I know what to do and how to do it but I still have SL hair. For a brief moment in time I got to APL but then my hair started falling out like mad and now I'm back at SL.

Any and all incouragements is welcome.

Pinkskates, your hair is lovely!!! Do you use the Aveda elixir daily while pressed? If so, does it not cause your hair to revert?

i hope you make mama! you are going to be 40 and fabulous.

 

[MonaRae]

That's the goal. I also want to get my weight and skin in check but I will post that request in the Health/Skin Care sections.

Thanks!

Last Saturday (05.12.07) I did another Cassia treatment. I am doing 8 weeks of Cassia to give my hair the strenght it needs to get the length I want.

Well this mixture consist of Cassia, Dry Coconut milk and Honey. I love this combo. My hair is really strong as a result of it too. I think I will use this method for the next 6 treatments.
