Hello Ladies!!! I'm a newbie to the site and over the last few months I've been reading and serching throughout the vast knowledge and tips given. this morning I decided to try something before I go get my braids tonight please If you have any suggestions, encouragement, or negative feedback (something i did wrong) please let me know so that I dont make that mistake or do do it again if it was beneficial.

Hair reggie:
-On dry hair used a 2 egg, mayo, olive oil mix, saturated the hair and disposed of the mix i didnt use. mine was kind of liquidy I guess I didnt add enough mayo bc it was running down my neck. I had this on for about 20 min without heat.
-rinsed while in the shower with lukewarm water, MT shampoo, and Kpac reconstructive shampoo. My hair was silky usually it isnt silky untill I condition and it was my first time useng kpac shampoo.
- Got out mixed Lekair cholesterol, burts bees deep, and a little of the kpac conditioner and went under a hooded dryer for about 35 min. Usually I do just lekair and under for an hour with my relaxed hair. but Im transitioning to NATURAL.
- rinsed. Used Paul mitchel the moisture leave in, and infusium 23 original leave in. Then I blow dried and the pic below is the all the hair that came out.

Usually I get about that much but I guess I should have used Aphogee:sad:. My hair doesnt feel like it has a film on it but I can reach in and feel mini spiral curls. (you cant see them that well in the pic)

so please ladies help a girl out!!!

ALSO should I put on anything before I go and get it braided?

I see nothing wrong with your regimine :look: That's a SMALL amount of hair shedding. I get about 3 times as much as that just by combing!
 
Is the second pic the amount of hair that you lost? If so, that is absolutely nothing.


Thank you but I know with the Aphogee when I used it before I had NO sheeding. Yes I know my head looks rough!! Thanks for the encouragement!!! Any added tips or somethign I should put on before my braid extensions?
 
That's really very little shedding. Nothing to worry about.

I wouldn't go overboard on products before getting your braid extensions. Remember that whatever you on your hair is gonna be trapped as buildup for however long you leave your extensions in. I think a protein treatment, a good DC (at least an hour), and a very gentle blowdry (to stretch the hair) should be good enough.

Yea I did both with the eggs and the dc with the Lekair!!! Thats why I have my hair sitting on my head afraid to put ANYTHING on it in fear of too much or too little or the braider having to grab tighter..Oh nooo!!!

OH ALSO LADIES IM TAKING EXOTIC ALLURE FAST GRO VITAMINS!!! I FORGOT THAT ONE DETAIL
