It's been a good minute-not OT

[LongCurlyLocks]

Hello ladies, it's been a long time since I have posted here. And unfortunately my hair has suffered in the process. Last year, I used more heat in a two months time then I would use in a whole year-sometimes flat ironing everyday. That damaged my hair alot. Then I got into wearing weaves and lace fronts because I got lazy and didn't want to be bothered with my hair. I think the weave damaged my hair and now it's thinning. I stopped taking my vitamins and everything as well. As a result of all of this, I had to get rid of at least an inch of dead ends. I'm at a bra strap at least now because of that. I know this is my fault as I should be WL by now at least. But that's water under the bridge now. The point is I'm back and ready to get back in the game. I need to find the products that will help grow and thicken my hair as well as keeping it strong and healthy. I'm not totally lost-I have been bunning and staying away from the heat and the weaves but because I have been out of the game for so long, I'm not sure what products are good to use. I did pick up some Organic Root Stimulator hair vitalizer, the olive oil and carrot oil hairdress. I stayed away from the ones that had petroleum in them. I do remember that much. And I am still doing my co-washes. So please ladies-seasoned ones and noobs-help me out. Refresh my memory and/or enlighten me on some new stuff. Other than the stuff I mentioned I got, I haven't really been going to BSS so I don't really know what's new out there. Thanks in advance.

Welcome back! These products aren't new, but I'd suggest Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose and GPB conditioners for babying your hair back to health.

Thank you ladies. I will check out these products. Also, I'm wondering if the products I mentioned are good? Also, I ordered some Mega Tek. I read the ingredients and it lists the same ones so we will see. If not, I will just add more of the keratin protein myself if possible. I also plan to jump back on the horse and join the WL 2013 challenge. I hope I can really make it this time.
