...NotedAdding: Layers done right are much better for my hair than one length. Makes it look fuller.
Thanks for posting. I’m ready to start #2 in 2018. Currently working on the fenugreek oil first!!
- Prepooing is a must for me. I have better wash days and less tangles when I prepoo and finger detangle the night before.
- Ayurveda works. I don't have the patience or desire to revamp my entire regimen, but adding monthly henna masks and ayurvedic herbs to a couple products I already use, has made a difference in my hair.
- Petros (mineral oil, petrolatum, etc.) do not work for me and I will no longer be tempted to try to make them work.
- Wash and gos are not practical for me now that I'm WHip length. Its easier and faster to braid my hair up, then wear a braidout if I want a loose style. The results are more consistent as well.
- I should stick with my staples. They work. The end.
1. I have hi-po hair- I learned this during a strand test when I was getting my hair dyed. My hair processed so quickly that the stylist did the water test to confirm
2. Due to my hi-po hair, sealing is a must
3. extensions aren’t that great for my hair.
4. My hair actually grows pretty quickly so I just have to protect and nourish my length
5. My hair and scalp hate coconut oil
Chelating my hair has been the best thing I ever did. I live in an area where the water hardness is 10 and I did know. And the water hardness was placing minerals on my hair preventing moisture from getting in and that's why my hair was dry all the time. Now my hair is moist, easy to detangle, my curls pop. and my hair is less frizzy.

How often are you chelating, and what chelating shampoo do you use?Chelating my hair has been the best thing I ever did. I live in an area where the water hardness is 10 and I did know.

For the water issues, I live in a house and have a Culligan whole house water filter on the main line. Every drop of water that comes into my home is filtered. Clothes come out cleaner, I don't get that much gunk on my tub, the cats like the water better so less uti's for them and of course, my hair is cleaner. Just a tip.
Neat! How much does it cost? Is it a one-time investment, or do you pay something monthly? TIA.
It's like a Brita filter but for the main water line, so no subscription. I change mine out once a year and I pay less than $100 bucks for it. It takes about 5 minutes to install. It is in my basement. You have to turn the water off then put it on the line and make sure you seal it. Then turn the water back on. This is the one I use. My bad, it's not Culligan, it's Pentek and it's only $63 bucks with free shipping on Amazon. 63 bucks once a year is worth it:
