Luscious Healthy Ends Challenge 2025

[mzteaze]

Please tell me more about this high frequency wand. (I apologize if you already went into detail about it earlier)

I bought a Nuderma high frequency wand from Amazon that has a comb attachment. The basic idea is to use this on your scalp to encourage blood flow at your follicles, if you've had a facial at some point, you may have seen them use this device on your skin, especially acne to help it heal quickly. It's an old idea that's rounding social media right now.

Even if nothing really comes from it, my skin will look nice.

I will caution you, it does "spark", so if you try this, start on a low setting. For my skin, I bought gauze to wrap over the wand so that it glides over my skin. When using on my scalp, I make sure my hair is parted for easier access to the areas I want to hit and I try for about 3 minutes across my entire scalp. You can't really comb your hair with the comb wand, so parts or smaller sections help.

Thanks for sharing! Very interesting, never heard of these wands before. It seems promising, especially since you noticed positive results with hair shedding. Please keep me updated and let me know how it's working over time.

Soooo as for the "spark" you mentioned, does it feel like it's zapping you or is it just tingling?

It is a very light tingling. I read to start at a 2 and work your way up.

I will mention, I cackled when someone said they started at a five for their first session and it tingled so much they were scared to try again. Hence my caution about the spark. There is a company advertising on social media (their unit is overpriced IMHO) that shows a "spark" between the tines and a finger. If you see that, crank the unit down a bit.

Although my twist don't look as nice this week as last, they are still holding onto moisture fairly well despite this cold weather. Today, I pulled my twists into groups and sprayed the ends with Camille Rose something or other. I think this is better than spraying the twist themselves because it keeps my hair from frizzing.

I'm going to unofficially track my growth rate here as well. I've never paid much attention to my growth rate from month to month, so I don't know if there are some months where it is better than others. I think this month I'm leaning towards just 1/4" based on the grays that have come in since I colored my hair.

What did you do or not do this time to have this different result? What changed in the process? Things outside of your control con be contributors as well, such as colder temperatures in the air.

I'm on the tail end of my time with these twists. I've washed my hair 4 times since I've put them in and will be washing them again this weekend. This ends up being about a bi-weekly wash. That seems to be the max for me with keeping my scalp healthy.

In between I have been spraying my hair with scurl or light leave in + scurl on ends, then using some kind of silicone serum on my lengths and grease on my ends.

I have been redoing the twists if they seem too loose on the roots.

Currently I am splitting my hair in half and braiding the twists down then banding the ends after sealing.

I plan to take my hair down in the week leading up to the 15th so that I have time to detangle and moisturize my hair before I wash it that weekend.

I bet your hair is SUPER moist AND the ends are WELL protected, too!

I wasn't able to get more KCCC. So I had to switch to a new gel - As I Am. Not going to go out of my way to get it, so this will have to work and I will keep it moving.

Sprayed my hair with As I Am JBCO water, worked some creamy leave-in conditioner into my hair, followed by A Naturale Rose hair oil and, finally, sealed with A Naturale Rose hair butter.
