Your hair looks great, is it naturally that shiny or do you use any products to add the shine factor ?

Thank you for all the beautiful compliments. I really appreciate them, and it really keeps me going when i feel like giving up. My hair regime is kind of crazy. When i was at home i conditioner washed every two days and air dried in a bun over the summer because i worked out I do the same thing now except i rinse in the my sink which is difficult, but if if i wash my hair in the shower my hair will snap off!! The water is that bad. I try to do light rinses, and concentrate rinsing my ends with EVOO and Pantene Smooth and Sleek or R&N. I am switching between deep conditioners of LUST or Paul Mitchell, but i only use those every now and then if my hair feels limp. Sometimes the protein deep conditioners make my hair hard and dry even after moisturizing with a moisturing conditioner. Right now i just airdry in bun, and rinse with conditioner only 2 twice a week. I clarify with baking soda around every month. I shampoo with Creme of Nature dry/damage formula once a week. I do not use a lot. I lather once, and use i dime size. Shampoo dries the hell out of hair, so i can use a little. I have had a lot breakage, but i only cut my hair once every two to three months. Sometimes it is little strands other times little balls. i worry sometimes my hair is not growing because of breakage. I always think my ends are bad, but they turn out pretty nice when i blow dry my hair. Unfortunaly i do not use any leave ins. They actually dry out my hair eventually. I do not put anything on my scalp because it will start itching. I did even know my hair had shine until i stop going to the beauticians. My scalp is mildly oily, but ends are unbelieveably dry. This why i think my hair grows fast but can break fast also. I think my hair grows faster than it breaks at times. Oh yeah, i forgot i sleep in satin scarf every night wrapped up in a bun. It is really the only protective style i can wear without my hair completely drying off. What you ladies saw were wet pics. You will see the dryness in my new dry pics when i post them. It should be very soon. I am also going to try to post some blow out pics and better shrinkage pics also. I took the pictures myself so they did not turn out well. I will try to get better. Thank you again for all the compliments. This board has truly inspired me.

Crown Glori, I only use mainly pantene s/s or pantene r&n mixed with EVOO. I use nothing on my scalp. i am still trying to use something for my ends because they are so dry. I use Creame of Nature shampoo once a week, but not much. i only lather once. I do not use too many products. For me less is more. Thank you again for your kind words, and good luck with your daughters hair.
P.S. If you find a good leave in for your daughter hair let me know.

Steph, thank you for sharing your routine with us.
Jade 21 is a member of LHCF whose hair is currently cut to tailbone length (from knee-length). She knows her oils.
I remember reading on her site some combination she says really help banish the crispies. Check this out: Jade 21's Diary. Hope that Helps!

Thank you Steph for FINALLY
sharing your pics. Your hair is beautiful.
It's interesting to hear you say you use nothing on your hair. I did that for two years and just washed/conditioned my hair whenever it felt dry. I'm sure it didn't feel as soft as it does now, but I didn't know anything about deep conditioning then either. I keep wondering if I mightn't be able to get away with not applying anything for a while.
Like you, I apply nothing on my scalp coz that causes itches. For a spell I have been using just natural oils on wet hair after twice a week morning wash and then sleeping in a plastic cap...with no problems. I had given frizz-ease serum a rest until my last wash. My hair felt as lovely as it always does when I seal in moisture with a serum but I learned the hard way that plastic caps over hair coated in serum is a
at least for me. My scalp itched like crazy...
So lately I've been toying with the idea of doing things your way...or should I say, my old way, with a few fine tunings here and there.
