How's everyone doing? Who's closer to their goal? Anymore progress pics...?*thirsty*
I posted this in the Shea Growth thread, but since I’m in this challange too, I’m gonna contribute more.
Update:
So first and foremost here is my current length:
This picture was take. After a full wash day, and detangling.
I had a bunch of exams and assignments back to back for about 3 weeks, and my husband and I finally moved to our new place and got everything paid up, and my hair was doing something weird, and became very compressed and tangled, so I would just spray it with some water, get it going in one direction and bun it up. This was my go-to style for 3-4 weeks:
You can see it in my lighter parts, they look stiff and crunchy. Mostly because they were.
Products for wash day:
•Shampoo: Nizoral Shampoo for Dandruff (roots only)
•Conditioner: Aussie 3 min miracle (this conditioner has no rival in melting tangles effortlessly)
•Deep Condition: was needing a hard protein treatment to fill in the gaps of my longer lengths so I blended one egg with some of my SM MH leave-in, left it on under a heat cap for 35 mins, and rinsed.
Leave in: SM JBCO, my last remaining bit of Shea Butter
I can’t really see a difference (very small one in my photos), but my measuring tape now says 35.5 inches. So I’ll take that as a victory.
As a plus my ponytails now come to BCL
My hair is now up in 4 braids/plaits, and next week I will be specifically looking for a different line to try altogether. My hair seems to not be responding well to SM products anymore. It’s either Mielle Organics, Oyin, or DevaCurl. I’m leaning more towards Oyin just because most of their products always do my hair good.
As far as Shea Butter I will be purchasing a new tub next week as well. And probably adding in some Coco Butter as well.
