Wow..can I tell you how excited I am about the compliments /images/graemlins/smile.gif...I would've never imagined my hair being called thick, but thx to all this advice it is doing what I didn't think it could.
My regimen is still kind of crazy because I am constantly trying different things. During that time though, from June until my August touch-up I sprayed Surge in my hair morning and night. I co-washed every other or every 2 days with different conditioners until I found Pantene Full & Thick was a keeper (for now). After all washes (even conditioner), I would use Breakfree and I still do that. I also would washed weekly with CON shampoo and did a deep treatment. First I used the Cholesterol and it didn't work and I finally settled on NTM Mask. It is ok but as of last week I changed to Motions CPR. I also used Motions leave-in as a detangler after all washes (even conditioner) and used it in the morning with Mango butter to make my new growth lie flat with a little wave. I was doing pre-poo treatments with Hot 6 and conditioner or conditioner and coconut oil, but all that did was leave residue. Now (as in about a week ago), I have been washing with CON shampoo and using CPR once a week and doing a co-wash during the week with Pantene Full & Thick. Every morning I wear my hair in a ponytail alternating what side I part my hair on. (Told you it was crazy..lol). When I get something a little more down pat I will post again, but you ladies don't know how much this encouragement means to me...thanks a million /images/graemlins/laugh.gif
