Luscious Healthy Ends Challenge 2013/2014

My ends have been doing well. I still trim along with the lunar calendar. Just did a dusting on the 6th for length. My current issue is breakage. Not alot but enough to cause me to check myself. Next trim will be in December and I might make it a cut to shape my hair.
 
I just saturated my hair with aloe vera juice and detangled. Then I added some leave in (Hello Hydration/argan oil) and rebraided it. I guess I will keep wigging it for the next 2 weeks. Oct 25 I am getting my hair straightened and trimmed. It is a lunar thickening day :yep:
 
From the calendar for the rest of the year

Sigh.. My ends

I will spray them with water then put shea butter on them then a creamy leave in.

I have SSK galore.
 
I have finally gotten past my setback. I dusted my ends with the splitender Friday and did a protein treatment tonight. I still have a few splits but my ends are much much better. Each month its getting better.

I plan on doing a protein treatment every month and maybe dusting every other month.

I agree with March! I trimmed off about 3-4 inches and grew it back by June, but my hair was so thick and healthy! Everyone asked did I have a growth spurt?!? I believe I do have growth spurts doing this time too!
 
I thought about joining that no cutting challenge.. My ends are cool right now, I am very scissor happy, so I don't know if I can handle not cutting for 6 months! Maybe I can get back into roller setting. I did that for over a year. I think I got rid of my medium size rollers. I am giving myself a prepoo treatment right now. I may get under the dryer too. Coconut and olive oil.

you got me gut busting laughing! :lachen: I said that challenge was cold blooded! Had me in the store trying to find something for my ends! Do those split mender products really work? It would be nice to use something that would prevent.

Yes I love my SplitEnder. It keeps me from cutting off too much hair. 3 swipes is just 1/8 of an inch. It is great for maintenance.

When I was cutting off the ends of my twist or trying to rollerset and trim my ends I was cutting off way too much.

But you know you need to get in that challenge :yep:

I'm gonna do it! I am having a wonderful air drying experience right now! I prepooed,
protein treatment with Ors hair mayo, shampooed with silicon mix Bambu, dc'ed with the matching conditioner,
dried with tee shirt
Used crece pello leave in and creme of nature straight from Eden serum detangled
Applied castor oil to my edges, crown
Applied jojoba and castor oil to my ends

I can't wait to bun my hair!

Here is a pic of my ends. My hair isn't blunt, but do you think they look fine, or should I trim more?

They look good to me. Looks like you just need to keep consistent with your protein and keep the ends moisturized and you will be good.

Your hair looks very pretty even from that small picture.

Are you experiencing any tangling of the ends when you wash?

thank you! That makes me feel better about doing that challenge. No I don't have any tangles! Pre pooing, then doing the protein treatment is really helping! Shampoo afterwards to get rid of the residue from the protein. Silicon mix products are the bomb! My hair feels really good and my ends are not dry.
 
I hadn't moisturized my hair since I got it straightened so I put a little Neutrogena silk touch vream on the ends this morning. I am going to start using the silk touch cream daily. If my hair gets too greasy I will use my dry shampoo. This blowout is going to last :grin:
 
Ends still feel good today since my recent wash day. Moisturized with crece pelo leave in and seal with jojoba and castor oil. Sprayed with SM shine and hold. I gotta get some new pretty hair candy, so I won't get bored with bunning.

They used Crece Pelo leave in on my hair at the Dominican salon last week. It smells so good:lick: I have used the conditioner before, but that was my first time using the leave in
 
I'm still having to S&D :sad: I can tell when I finger comb that I still have some splits to take care of. It is so much better but I'm ready to be done with it.

I will just set my mind right now that I will need to do it for the remainder of the year and look forward to having healthy ends starting Jan 2015.
 
Im going to spritz my ends with Chi keratin mist and add a bit of Neutrogena silk touch cream. I'm afraid that if I seal my hair it will get weighed down
 
My ends are still moisturized. My hair actually feels kinda greasy, but I am not ready to wash it just yet :(
