Thanks everybody. Since I live with my hair everyday, I can't see all that much progress. But after updating my album and looking at the pictures, I see that I have done a good job in retaining my length by protecting the ends.
I'll try to answer everyones questions:
Do I find it easier to deal with texturized hair?
No, not really. In fact, I miss the softness that my natural hair had, that the texturizer seems to have zapped. I sacrificed a lot of my softness for less frizz and bulkiness. Overall, I have to be more careful because the texturizer did break down my hair, and I know that not being careful can lead to breakage.
What haircolor do I use?
I really don't remember because I colored my hair 4 months ago. I think it was a Clairol brand because it is semi permanent. I bought it at Walmart. It was deep black. I'm not going to color anymore because I'm texturized, and if I do, I will stick to rinses, because I noticed that when I was natural the coloring of my hair made it hard, so I had to work a lot at keeping my hair moist. I don't want to go through that while I'm texturized.
What vitamins do you take?
Hee hee. I am so broke now, I have run out of most of my big ticket vitamins (4-hair, Megabiotin, Ultra Nourishair) so I have been taking: 1 Centrum multi-vitamin, 4000mg of Flax Seed Oil, 4000mg of Evening Primrose Oil, 1000mg of Vitamin C, 2000mg of Silica, and 3000mg of MSM. I take so much of the Flax Oil and EPO because I have eczema (I don't know if I spelled that right) and it keeps my skin moist so I won't suffer outbreaks. When I can buy them I will get the SuperBiotin, and Ultra Nourishair.
What is your routine?
I wear my hair up six days a week. I wear my hair down after I wash my hair for that day. As for my routine, I wash with Sauve Clarifying shampoo. I then condition with Pantene Relaxed and Natural conditioner for 3 minutes. After I rinse I then use L.U.S.T and leave it in for 3 minutes. I then wash that out, and blowdry my hair in four sections with a blowdryer with a comb attachment. I use wildgrowth on my ends before I blowdry. I then flatiron.
The next day I put my hair into a ponytail, wet the ends with water, apply wildgrowth to the ends, and then take a good amount of vaseline and apply it to the same area. I then put my hair into a protective style until I wash. I do this for three weeks. On the fourth, I do the exact same thing but before I blowdry, I do a protein treatment with Aphogee Reconstructor, and deep condition with Motions Oil Plus deep
conditioning treatment.
The Vaseline challenge has really kept my ends in check and I thank Lee and all the V-girls who turned me on to this.

I don't have a texturizer, but I did use a semi/demi color this past summer and it made my hair drier than normal. I deep conditioned, and deep conditioned and nothing worked until I used the Aphogee treatment. My hair has been thanking me ever since.

Okay, I'll bite and splurge on the SuperBiotin and the Ultra Nourishair. I think I remember that they both can be purchased from GNC. If I can only discipline myself to take them when needed. I would love to have results like yours.

You know, when I was in college I used vaseline on my relaxed ends and my hair was thick and long. Hmm, I think I may join you ladies on this challenge. Great tip! Thanks for sharing!

So you flat iron your hair once a week?
[/ QUOTE ]
Yep. Only when I wash. And that can vary from 1 week, to disgusting when I get in a truly lazy mood.
If I wash it more, I will wet bun it.
Once a week is it. I maintain the look by tying it up, and since I bun my hair, I don't have to use extra heat.
