I've been lurking, but I'm finally ready to jump into this challenge.
I've been having issues with my hair over the last two years. At first I thought it was some breakage, but I realize now that I'm also shedding a lot. I think it's due to stress, so I'm working on managing that. My hair is various lengths, but I'm not willing to cut it to one length, at the moment.
Natural, Relaxed, Texlaxed: Natural
Current Length: Almost WL
Goal Length: HL
Plan to reach goal length: Baby my hair as much as possible. Meditation and relaxation to help stop this stress shedding.
Regimen: Wash weekly, moisturize every 1 to 3 days. Exfoliate every other week. Protein treatment monthly. Trim every 3 months.
Protective Styles: Two strand twists are my go to style
Staple Products: Kaolin clay (cleansing), Giovanni Smooth as Silk Conditioner, diluted Giovanni Direct Leave In (daily spray), DIY moisturizer, broccoli seed oil (to seal).
I was also using Komaza Hair Care products, but am now looking at ayurvedic options. The goal is to be as DIY as possible so that I don't get stuck for products, ever again.
