I'm in for this challenge for the coming year. I've been off and on LHCF for the past 8 years or so. I'm doing
ife360TV Naturally 's 1 year of ayurveda challenge on youtube as well. I feel like I've got a whole lot going on in my oils that I infuse so I may tweak some things in the future. For now I'm using avocado, castor, coconut and olive oil infused with chebe, bhringraj, and henna. Then I moisturize with a fenugreek spritz.
But, as soon as the rest of my ingredients arrive I will do a cold infusion of avocado, castor, coconut, and olive oil with fenugreek, chebe, bhringraj, bhrami, ground coffee and patchouli essential oil with home made vanilla oil (vanilla beans infused in almond oil) for scent.
My whole regimen is ayurvedic, from shampoo to deep conditioning to gels/pomades and creams and butters. So far, my hair is loving it. I got sick of finding amazing products that either got discontinued or were bought out by a hot mess company or the formulas changed.
I'm thinking that maybe taking some pics will help with motivation but I am very private when it comes to photo sharing. I have very very fine hair and a lot of it that tangles very easily. Staying positive and hoping to retain all the length I get in the coming year.
I will invert 7 days out of the month, a bit TMI but I usually start it the Saturday after my monthly visitor ends (I've read mixed messages about inverting and menstruating so I just avoid it) and I do regular scalp massages pretty much every evening before I go to bed.
My shortest layer is chin length and my longest layer is collar bone. I've been natural for 20 years and have always wanted long hair. Set back after set back led me to cut it off multiple times. I also love experimenting with hair as well and have even shaved it multiple times. I didn't learn or realize I had fine hair for a lot of my journey so things like coloring or straightening my hair are no no's for me (I learned the hard way). Anyways, I WANT LONG HAIR. Yes, I'm thankful for the hair on my head and that even though my hair is fine it is high density. Yes, I am thankful that it grows quickly, but I am ready for that retention!!!!! No setbacks!!!!!!! Amen!
So thankful for you ladies and for this thread!
