Hi everyone!!!!

I'm sorry this is a bit long!! I'm just so excited LOL!

I've been a lurker since 05/2007 but I've finally decided to get serious (and responsible) about obtaining healthy hair! Whooooooo! lol

Before I found LHCF I was literally in the dark about hair care. I placed the health of my hair in the hands of my hair dresser, and as she passed me to whoever had an open chair at the moment, it was a lot of hands!!!!!

LHCF is just a plethora of healthy knowledge flowing from positive women who enjoy sharing and encouraging others. Sadly, people sharing out of good will seems to becoming rare now-a-days.

I've stalked through threads for weeeekkkks and I've come up with a regime that I've happily been following for 2 weeks. See, wasn't lying about being a newbie lol.

Wash days:

1. Pre-poo with ORS Hair Mayo w/ heat (20 mins)
2. Wash with Keracare Hydrating Shampoo
3. Deep condition with Keracare Humecto w/ heat (30 mins)
4. Apply Kercare Leave-in and Biosilk serum
5. Set on rollers using jus plain ol' water

After my hair has dried, I moisturized w/ ORS Olive Oil (in the jar) and seal with Keracare essential oil. I used ORS Olive oil during the week and seal with either KC essential oil or unrefined coconut oil.


***I washed yesterday but i did AphoGee 2 min before I deep conditioned because my strands where breaking during the week. I'd run my hands through my hair and guaranteed some broken strands would come out. AND ITS STILL HAPPENING. It's not extreme, but it bothers me:wallbash:

ANY SUGGESTIONS/CRITICISM????


OK I've typed a book, i'll stop now!!! I'm not free to pop up in threads. YAY!!!! lol :look:
 
Welcome!!!!

It's been awhile since I was relaxed and I really can't think of any advice for you just now about how to stop any breakage. But I do want to remind you to sleep with a silk or satin scarf/bonnet. Using a cotton one (or polyester--which has cotton in it) will suck the moisture out of your hair while you sleep and leave it dry and prone to breaking. That's about all the advice I have right now. Good luck on your hair journey. :)
 
Hey welcome aboard!!!
Check your protein/moisture balance while your hair is wet. If it stretches a lot and then breaks then you need protein. If it just snaps without elasticity, up your moisture dcs every 2-3 days and seal with EVOO, jojoba, or castor oil!!

Many blessings!!
 
welcome! it's good to be a newbie. :)

i like the ORS hair mayo. i use it as a pre poo sometimes. and i can't get enough of keracare. i've never roller set using just water. i also spray heat protectant on the length before i roll the hair. otta get as much protection from the heat as possible!!

I'll be sure to test a strand next time I wash!
