Luscious Healthy Ends Challenge 2015/2016

[trclemons]

I CW'd & DC'd today and added KJ Naturals Milk & Honey Sealing Butter to my ends.

 

[Prettymetty]

I moisturized my ends with Garnier Sleek and shine cream mixed with avj and braided my hair last night. I will be wearing a wig for the next 4 weeks so I can focus on growth and strength.

 

[faithVA]

My ends. This is the best I have ever seen them look. Ever.

Your ends looks nice. Great work!

 

[FollicleFanatic]

I put SM Deep Treatment Masque on my beehive braid and slathered my leave out with an oil blend.

RT: I wonder why this thread doesn't get as much traffic as important as ends are..

This whole forum seems to be getting less traffic. I got so much helpful info when I was a lurker. Since I joined it's been pretty quiet

I agree. Perhaps people feel like they are working on it in other challenges so no need to double up on it. Perhaps!

Fighting the urge to keep 'trimming' my hair into some sort of shape.

I initially trimmed (a fair amount for me) a couple of weeks ago, but I've been steady snipping here and there over the last few wash days. Ok yesterday too. I think I'm putting the scissors down now....I think...

Instead of forming knots that wouldn't slip out, my ends look and feel a whole lot better.

I think my ends really, really like henna. They feel stronger and more resilient now than before-- I'm actually planning to henna again on Saturday hahahaha

 

[Prettymetty]

I'm going to wash and dc tonight. Tomorrow when my hair dries, I can detangle and rebraid it. 3 more weeks of wigs and then I get my hair done.

I did my last roller set without my paddle brush and it came out exactly like it did when I brushed so... no more brushing for me.

I don't think the brush was causing any damage to my ends but if I can accomplish the same thing with a wide toothed comb, there's no need to play with fire.

Since I mostly wear my hair up in a bun I've been extra generous with the coconut oil on my ends and length at night. Midweek my hair feels downright silky!

 

[Prettymetty]

I moisturized my whole head with Garnier cream and aloe juice, and then I added extra Garnier and aloe vera gel on my ends. That ought to last me a couple days.

 

[faithVA]

Washed tonight. My ends are more manageable. I oiled my ends before putting in my flat twist. I really need to find a good product to coat my ends.

 

[FollicleFanatic]

Lightly coated my leave out with an oil blend and put some on my ends for the night.

 

[trclemons]

Today was shampoo day. My ends received extra attention with my AVJ mix & Brahmi/Amla Oil pre-poo, ORS Olive Oil Replenishing DC, SSI Okra Reconstructor, ACV Rinse & an 80% rinse out of SM African Black Balancing Conditioner.

I LCB'd my ends with Cozy Moments Protein Mist, Treluxe Untie the Knot, Duafe Amla and Kyra's Shea Medley Rejuvenate butters.

 

[faithVA]

I am wondering if my ends would do better if I combed them versus finger detangling. I think I'm going to comb my hair before styling and see if I have fewer splits. I will finger detangle during the wash cycle but comb before I put my hair in twist.

That's what do with my hair too.

 

[faithVA]

That's what do with my hair too.

Have you noticed a difference?

 

[trclemons]

Have you noticed a difference?

Yes I have and it keeps my ends from getting tangled while I'm styling.

 

[faithVA]

Yes I have and it keeps my ends from getting tangled while I'm styling.

Thanks. I will pay attention next time I wash. I'm going to see if my ends are better when I take out my flat twist. I think flat twisting without combing may not be working out as well as I thought.

 

[Prettymetty]

I did an overnight prepoo with Biotera shine mask. I wanted to wash my hair today, but it is freezing... I may do it later this evening or tomorrow.

 

[MileHighDiva]

Henna rx last night. Heavy sealed my hair and ends with QB products.

 

[trclemons]

I CW'd last night and LCOB'd with Carefree Curls Gold, Liquid Gold Ginger Cream, Keravada Super Gro on scalp, Duafe Amla on length, Kreyol Essence HBCO Peppermint on edges and Kyra's Shea Medley Refresh & Hydrating butter on my ends.

 

[Prettymetty]

I lathered twice with Cream of Nature detangling shampoo (green bottle) and did a dc with Kerastase Therapiste with protein. I also coated my hair with some Garnier color care mask to prevent my blue color from bleeding. My hair smells so good right now. Once it airdries a bit more I can moisturize, detangle and rebraid.

 

[CodeRed]

I'll join this challenge. I just got my ends trimmed 10 days ago and they look great. I want to keep them that way.

1. Are you relaxed, texlaxed, natural, transitioning, etc - Relaxed
2. Current Hair Length - Layered just above shoulder length
3. Why are you joining this challenge? I want to be reminded to take as good care of my ends as I do the rest of my hair. No healthy ends, no healthy hair over time.
4. What have you tried to improve your ends? Steaming with really good deep conditioners, getting a good detangler to prevent snagging.
5. What are you going to try to get those healthy ends? Going to start using a serum on top of the other two things I'm doing. Going to experiment with Chi Silk Infusion and Biosilk Silk Therapy Lite samples first. Will move on to a few others to see how they work. I want an extra buffer for my ends when I blow dry.
6. Will you update us 1x a month? Yes ma'am!

 

[CodeRed]

Update: Washed my hair today and this Chi Silk Infusion is definitely a keeper. I can tell it protects my hair because even though my ends are nice, I've had a few hairs breaking here and there and this time I had even less. My hair is nice, shiny and has nice body and I only used a dime size of this stuff. I'm going to test out a few more serums when these samples are gone to see if I get the same affect for cheaper.

 

[trclemons]

I pre-poo'd overnight with my AVJ spritz & Hairitage Butter on my ends. This morning, I DC'd & CW'd and used Siamese Twists Pracaxi Peach ButterCreme on my ends.

My ends are getting so spoiled with all of the extra attention it's getting.

 

[trclemons]

CW'd tonight and put Siamese Twists Pracaxi Peach ButterCreme on my ends.

 

[Prettymetty]

My scalp is itching like crazy so I have to wash and dc today (earlier than planned). I'm going to use Chi silk to help detangle and then Garnier Sleek and shine cream on my ends

 

[curlyTisME]

My ends have been tucked away. I will continue to moisture and seal them nightly until I wash.

 

[trclemons]

Today was Shampoo Saturday. I used my AVJ spritz & Spectrum Coconut Oil pre-poo, Embrace the Natural You DC, Joico K-pak Reconstructor, ACV Rinse & an 80% rinse out of Elucence Balance Conditioner.

LCB'd my ends with Alikay's Lemongrass, Fekkai Glossing Cream & Elasta QP Olive Oil & Mango Butter, and Marie Dean's Coconut Cream & KJ Naturals Milk & Honey.
