Luscious Healthy Ends Challenge 2015/2016

[faithVA]

I dusted my twist yesterday. I usually separate the twist and then dust each section separately. I just didn't feel like doing all of that yesterday. I just found a spot and clipped. I'm not sure how much I took off. It probably was somewhere between 1/8 and 1/2 depending on the section. My twistout looked pretty good when I finished.

When I washed today going through my hair was pretty easy.

Going to keep my hair in two strand twists. My ends seem to do better with these than the flat twist. Going to moisturize my hair every 2 to three days. I will do protein every 4 to 6 weeks. I'm scheduled for a treatment next week. I will do the Aphogee 2 step so I can get rid of that sticky stuff I will clip splits and single strand knots as I run into them.

Let's see how long my ends hold up with this new regimen.

I need to buy a small bottle so I can start misting my ends on days that I don't feel like using products. I saw a youtuber with gorgeous hair yesterday and one of her tips was to spray the ends daily. She also mentioned low manipulation, but I already do that.

I got about 1inch trimmed off yesterday but it was very much needed and I've gone back to the LOC method for now using : rose water , castor oil and Olive mix and ors moisturising lotion

DCd overnight with AO White Camellia and coconut oil on roots and ends, all wrapped in clingfilm. . This morning my hair feels soft and defined.

Belle Butter's Orange Dream Cream on ends.

I'm getting my hair trimmed tomorrow using the lunar method for thickness. I'm looking forward to it since it will be my first trim for the year. The next one will probably be done for my birthday in October but if I don't need it then, I'll save it for the end of the year.

Ive decided to go back to my trusty Shea butter to lock in the moisture in my hair instead of jumping on bandwagons and using the products that worked for me when I first started my hj and get back on using my coconut oil & hot oil treatments

 

[Prettymetty]

I moisturized my strands with Mane n tail, hot six oil and aloe juice. My hair feels great. I might wash and dc later if I have time

 

[Aggie]

I got my hair trimmed today. I'm happier now.

 

[Prettymetty]

I spritzed my ends with water today. My hair seems to like water. Tomorrow I finally get to wash and dc

My last dusting helped my ends. I finger detangled tonight and my fingers easily moved through my hair. I think keeping my hair in two strand twist will help me maintain it.

Tonight I did an Olaplex treatment and then a protein treatment with Apoghee 2 step. Doing and overnight carmeltini. I should be good to go tomorrow.

 

[Aggie]

Just moisturized and sealed my ends a few minutes ago. I am trying to keep these ends from drying out as much as possible.

 

[trclemons]

HQ White Tea & Lemon Twisting Butter

 

[curlyTisME]

Why did I stop sealing with Shea butter again?!

 

[Prettymetty]

I'm just going to spray my ends with water tonight. Since I wear a satin cap under my wig, my ends hold on to moisture a lot better.

 

[faithVA]

My hair liked the two strand twist but the 3 day twistout, not so much. I will limit my twist outs to no more than 2 days for now.

 

[Aggie]

I moisturized my damp ends this morning with Cantu Shea Butter leave in conditioner. I didn't seal it with anything though, was running out of time. My hair actually still feels wonderfully moisturized even now.

 

[Prettymetty]

I straightened my hair Wednesday night so I'm afraid to use any water based moisturizers. I can moisturize with Nectar Thermique if my ends get thirsty.

 

[trclemons]

LCOB'd with L = LRC Shake n Go, C = Coco Curls, O = Keravada Alter Ego on scalp & Buttercream Wedding on length, B = HQ Twisting.

No matter what I do I end up with splits. For now I just have to live with them and hope to minimize them.

How can I preserve a perm rod set and protect my ends?

How can I preserve a perm rod set and protect my ends?

You should ask in the Setting to Success thread.

 

[Prettymetty]

I'm going to spray my ends with water and smooth on some Nectar Thermique. I really want to weary hair out this week, but that might be too much manipulation.

Thankful for this thread! My ends were snagging a bit during today's set but I couldn't remember the last time I trimmed. Will trim tonight when I take each roller down.

Ends are snagging a bit again. Not horribly. Will up my moisture to my ends to see if that remedies the problem before I trim again. I usually try to trim only once/twice a year but the longer my hair gets the older the ends are. They may need more TLC.

 

[trclemons]

Used SSI Kiwi Butter.

 

[jasmyne14]

This morning I prepoo'd with coconut oil , shampoo , did a black tea rinse and dc for 15-30mins and blow dry on cool air . Must say my hair feels great but I cant wait for my vitagoods massaging brush to get to me so I can have a deeper treatment and get rid of the dead skin if that makes sense

 

[curlyTisME]

My ends needed a trim and they got one. I'll be pin curling nightly and using a serum when needed on my ends only.

 

[Aggie]

It's been over 10 days since I've done anything to my hair, much less moisturize my ends because of me being so busy, but maybe I'll be able to start again on the weekend. The next 2 weeks are going to be crazy busy again though.
