My One Year Progress...

[Aggie]

Thank you Missy Miss! (What I would have called you in person haha).

I use curl activator all year round. To add, I live in Jersey. It gets so cold here.

@I Am So Blessed, I could see this @bolded, being possible even in humidity deprived climates because of the grease as a sealant. Totally agree with you.

(My two cents) Queen Helen is ok. I think HB is a little better for my hair. I'm also 4B/4C thick stranded w/high-medium density.

Thanks hon . I will stick with the Hollywood Beauty brand then.

@I Am So Blessed, by the way, glad you're back. I have been trying to keep this thread alive because the method here is incredibly effective and never mind how easy on my pocket it is too . I think everyone here, newbie and hair veterans alike should see this at least once.

Awww. Thank you @Aggie !!.

I agree. They need to see that it's cheap to grow hair. Hair does not require name brands or over hyped products. LOL I love you Aggie.

Ditto @I Am So Blessed.

I like TGIN products to but dam 10 - 14$ for hair products is ridiculous. especially when you see people retaining unicorn hair for $5.22 queen helene lol.

I was in Walmart searching for this thread so I could buy some of the products lol. Tgin honey miracle mask deep conditioner is good but the price is ridiculous. If queen Helene can do the same thing for only $5.22, I'm all for it.

I am still using this method on my hair at least once a week. I just M & S with this yesterday. It seems like I really don't actually need to until about 2 weeks though. That's how long the moisture lasts .

This is crazy I was looking for info on the “Crown and Glory Method” from back in the day when my hair grew like a weed in braids and the regimen was very similar.. I remember using the Cream of Nature Shampoo, Lekair Cholesterol, S curl Activator spray, wild growth oil and Surge. I’m back in braids (Keri Hilson style) and hoping to keep my hair protected for a year using a similar regimen. I can definitely attest to the cholesterol and S Curl for sure!

HI there

When you say updates, I'd imagine that you mean growth wise. My hair is responding well to the juice and BM Grease is all I can say.

My hair stays soft for days on end plus wash days are not so difficult anymore since my hair still has grease in it when I do decide to wash it. Even my henna days are easier.

What can I say except there is no going back to other moisturizers. I have been giving away so many of the moisturizers that were in my stash because I really don't feel like I need them anymore.

I still have maybe 2 or 3 moisturizers left and I am trying to at least use them up over my juice, but sealed in the BM grease. It's a hit that remained a hit and it's cheap too.

@ilong - hey there . My hair feels much more healthier and moisturized. I also don’t have to moisturize my hair that often. I’m glad I came across this thread. I really like the cholesterol conditioner. How is your hair growth coming along?

 

[ilong]

@Aggie and @natural2008 - thank you for the updates. I was hoping you ladies would respond back that you're still on the regimen and it's working for you. I don't purchase expensive/fancy products, so this regimen with "back in the day" low cost products is right up my alley. Weather is cold where I live so I'm back under wigs for a while, and I wear a hair bonnet underneath, which can be drying.

 

[natural2008]

@ilong - the "back in the day" regimen works so much better for me. I wasted so much money on products that did no work and became a product junkie, lol. I now stock up on hair grease, curl activator, and cholesterol, lol .

@natural2008 - I agree with you. And "back in the day", you didn't see the "hair" on heads that we see now. Although "Mama's" in the day tore those scalps up with the hot comb.

But... I recently stumbled across some Paltas products I purchased in 2013. Never mind the shelf life. I put some on my hair Monday and Tuesday nights and I can't keep my hands out of my hair. It's so shiny and silky I'm . I've already messaged the supplier (in UK) to see what it will cost for me to get some more shipped to US. Wish I had an upcoming business trip to the UK.

@ilong

Cheaper and on the ground is the direction I am moving my hair product purchases as much as I possibly can .

This method is not only cheaper but it's also keeping my hair on my head and I can't beat that.

I just wished I could find my Jamila henna and indigo on the ground too but they are not sold here in the Bahamas as far as I know.

@natural2008,

I have gone cheaper but still have quite a bit of the cheaper products in my stash, so the PJism has not yet left my building . I'm working on it though.

@I Am So Blessed, @Aggie, @TwistedRoots , @natural2008 - any updates?

*smilling* Hey! My regimen is still the same. And as for length, I posted a pic on page 2 of the HL challenge. I will be back in this thread in April for another "one year" update. I STILL JUST USE GREASE, CURL ACTIVATOR, and Hollywood Beauty Cholesterol on my 4B hair .

Litterally that's all I use....

Thank you for asking
