I may be wrong but didn't you have a thread about this same issue? You have hard water where you are from. No product(s) will do much if your water isn't up to par. Try getting a water filter to shampoo/condition your hair with. Also, if your leave ins cause you to mix in water, use the filtered water as well. HHJ

Checking in!
Here are my new updates/challenges/struggles
Basically-when I take out my braids my hair feels wonderful. Nice, soft, well moisturized-happy hair.
I clarify my hair and my hair feels Ok. So I add a lil conditioner to bring it back to life. I do Aphogee and my hair feels stronger-but it feels kinda weird like straw? I know that means protein overload but this is after using a moisturizing conditioner and deep condish. It still feels stringy and straw like?
I tried to add a henna after the aphogee (the day after apogee 2 step)-same feeling.
I stopped using my mineral oil based sealent-and its okay. It just doesn’t feel GREAT ya know? Like it usually does.
I’m starting to think its the Aussie deeep conditioner. I just have not found a condish as good as that except suave humectant and I dont wanna use it because-its a humectant and its winter time.
This time I DC with condish+BS+ACV because its supposed to be moisturizing. I then followed my reggie with the aussie and my shea butter mix (50%shea 50% evoo). I had to lightly blow dry my hair because it was snagging too much while wet.
Hopefully these changes will help.

UPDATE:
I took my December cornrows down right before Christmas, and wore my hair out for 2 weeks (a new record for me lol). Was definitely ready to braid my hair back up. Did that last night.
I was near the end of my tub of Lustrasilk Mango Shea Butter DC, so I had to mix up some leftovers. I mixed the Lustrasilk, SheaMoisture Mask DC, a lil VO5 MM, WGO and castor oil. Applied it to freshly washed and detangled hair, and seal with shea butter.
I'm very happy with my progress. My hair is CBL stretched (in the back at least), and I still have the grand goal of reaching APL by my nappiversary (May 31/June 1). I was about 3.5" away as of a couple of weeks ago. The December pic in my siggy was taken when I removed my 3rd set of cornrows right before Christmas.
I've attached a couple of pics of how I braid my hair. I think this style is a keeper cuz it allows me to keep all of my ends tucked and protected, which is what I prefer. It also allows me to easily remove the front braid in case I want to blend the front of my hair with the wig.
I'm now on the lookout for *affordably priced" kinky curly wigs. Anyone have suggestions? I have "LaJay", "Tammy" & "Evony", but as much as I love them, I'm getting a little bored lol. Maybe I'll try a LF if I can find one that's affordable. Suggestions please???? lol. Thx.

Hi ladies,
I've been "unofficially" participating in this challenge since early December
. I wanted to try it out to see if I could cope with wearing a wig for an extended amount of time. Plus, I had a bunch of airline travel during the holidays, and wanted to make sure I could get through airport security without any problems. So far, so good. I got a wig that didn't have metal...so no airport security trauma
. Just wanted to come out of lurk mode, and join in the fun.

Good news! Took out my cornrows after wearing them for two weeks and there was no matting!!! Yay! I must admit, I DID moisturize and seal every night (hard habit to break). I'll definitely try not to do it this time, but I think I may keep the braids in for only one week, seeing how my hair gets super dry (don't want to cause breakage). Oh yeh my hair was super soft when I took out the braids compare to last time, which was a dry brittle hot mess! Looking forward to retaining lots of length with this method

I just wanted to provide you ladies with an update. I braided my hair in beehive cornrow on Nov 7. and unbraided my hair on December 30. While my hair was braided I washed my hair a couple of times, sprayed my hair with braid spray and also applied castor oil. After taking my hair down, I experienced a lot of matting (took my mom 1 1/2 to detanlge my hair) but despite the matting I was able to retain growth. When I started I was tipping APL and now I can say I am BSL. Right now I am on my second set of beehive cornrows and this time I plan on keeping them between 4-6 weeks but no more than 6 weeks. I figure washing my hair might have contributed to the matting and possibly the castor oil. Ladies any suggestions on keeping the matting at bay.

I'll be honest, I've yet to have my hair braided to stay for more than 2 weeks. Been rocking 5-8 'ceelie' braids for 2 weeks at a time.

I have been following the challenge diligently! I have moved on from my Yasmine wig onto Tammy... Amazing... best wig EVER
I also bought a tangle teezer, although my hair is in braids
I'll use it when I take them down in another week!

Hey ladies still here! Had my little boy on 12/20! I took down my crochet braids yesterday so I made it 5 weeks. No matting and take down was easy. This time I'm wigging it and like many of you have discovered "Tammy"
Mr Antiwig himself my DH even likes it. I wear it as a half wig and rather than leaving any hair out or wearing it as a full cap I cover the front with a head band:

I've been wearing my hair out for about a week and a half and taking a break from the wig. it's nice and all (even though I need to do something more exciting w/ my hair than wear a bun) but umm, I'm ready to braid this mess back up and slap a wig on. it's cold w/o it!

I'm wiggin it for the winter lol. I just wear my half wigs when I go out in public and keep my hair in 8 braids underneath. I wash/cowash once a week, dt twice a week, and moisture & seal every day. I've been doing this for almost two months now and I am already seeing progess.

Thanks bride!
I have been a long time lurcker on this board (almost 3 years to be exact). Finally decided to create a profile. I will work on my profile and post pics soon.
I'm natural streched my hair is a lil past BSL. My goal is WSL when straight because my shrinkage is ridic. In its natural state my hair barely touches my shoulder.
Since I been wiggin I would say my hair is now past bsl still a ways to go b4 wsl

Hey Ladies,
Happy New year to y'all!!! May this year be our goal reaching year. Amen.
I have not been very good at doing the DMM since I took off my crochet braids and I am wearing kinky twists now. I am wondering if I can still do it on kinky twists. Can anyone give me some insight?

You sound like a girl after my own heart lol. I also get ALOT of shrinkage....even though my hair now is CBL stretched, in it's shrunken state it looks almost like my starting pic lol. I used to get down about it, but I'm starting to realize it's a blessing for us

I'm learning to embrace the shrinkage too.
My goal is to grow my hair long enough to atleast apl in its natural state.
It's hard to tell I have real length unless I blow it out. Then when I do people are like wow your hair is really long.
Looking at your siggy your growth rate is awesome, your hair grows fast.

So I did the beehive and hubby hates it lol. Says I look a little "Set It Off"-ish
I'll only be keeping this in for 2 weeks instead of longer and will do a different cornow style at that point...

I would like to informally join this challenge. I want to keep my hair in wigs until the summer wedding I will attend.
What is your PS of choice? Wigs, beehive braids underneath with edges out; scarf or doorag when at home
Are you natural or relaxed? natural
What are you using for your DC of choice for the deep moisture method? ion effective treatment. I have very fine hair so I'm using protein DC's instead of moisture
What are you using to seal before braiding? spray oils (tea tree, argan natural 7, or fantasia pm oil)
What are you using to wet your hair before DC is added? since my hair is fine i'm airdrying then braiding, it's too fragile when wet
How will you moisturize and seal while PS is in? What products? aussie hair insurance, or avocado mist & water mixture or green tea spray for protein...same sealants as above
How often will you wash? What method? What products? wash when needed with HE, cowash with aussie weekly
What will you use for your hard protein treatment? and how often? aphoghee 2 step or ion reconstructor between braids
What else might you add to reach your goals? maybe sulphur or castor oil
Starting pic from last month
