By the way, the challenge has been updated to this point and all new challengers have been added. Let's grow our hair to new lengths this year ladies and most of all,
let us retain that length, okay
?
That is my theme song for this year Aggie - retention, retention, retention!! I have to remember (again) to treat my hair like antique lace!
Ladies, do me a kind favor - please include the brand name of the products you're using so I can post them on the front page for our newbies, especially if you're having great results with them. Thanks a million.
I'm using mainly Eqyss Premier Creme Rinse (love this stuff), and Elasta QP Intense Fortifying Conditioner. I just ran out of the Trader Joe's Refresh Conditioner (loved it!) and I'm feining for some AO HSR - I need to go to the health food store next week.
I also use a lot of food - honey, molasses, bananas, and the like. I'm also getting up on some herbs - I use hibiscus in all my DC's now, and I have some irish moss in the cabinet that I need to play with.
Okay, starting pic. This is the most recent, semi-straightened pic I have because I haven't been using heat. I lightly blow dried last Saturday (12/20/08). I may come back and change the pic for accuracy purposes at a later date.
My DC's will alternate so I can't list what I'll commit to using because that's subject to change depending on my mood and hair needs
. Y'all know I'm fickle anyway.
Is this the sort of stuff I msis by not stalking fotkis!?!?!?!?! Oh my goodness, I had no clue! Gorgeous hair, missy!
I forgot to list the current conditioners that I'm currently using:
-ORS Rep Pak
-AO HSR
-Nacidit Aloe Vera
-Miss Keys 10 en 1
ETA: I'll add a pic later. Pics are the part of challenges that I find challenging.
Me and you both!!!
Okay - my starting picture is my avatar. Aggie - do you prefer the picture in the signature? Or can you tell me how to put the picture in the body of the message? I'm uploading from my computer.
Not Aggie, but I so love it when people put their starting pics in the post - that way, when
someone is looking through the thread later (like, years later) long after you've changed your avatar, they'll still be able to see your progress - it's great comparing some old posts to current avi's/siggies!
With that said, here is my starting pic, taken today - a solid 4.5. Just for reference, APL is around 8.
I really fell off the DC'ing twice a week thing towards the end of the year - I've been styling my hair differently, and I haven't been using MT, and I really haven't felt the need to do the midweek DC.
Urmhrm, and that's why I'm starting to see a wee bit more breakage, too, I think. *sigh* So, my reggie is kinda in limbo, as I try to figure out how to balance my differing needs and not eat up all my time during the week. Once I figure it out, I'll post a reggie.
