my sister's hair

[SummerSolstice]

my sister's hair **progress**

I'm just really proud because we started here:

And today we are here!!!
Also, I might add... She had a huge setback last year when she got a mullet hair cut

We colored it the other day to celebrate
This twist out was done with vegetable oil there is still some relaxer in the front, but soon it will be gone!

And next week she will be back into weaves.

Reggie:
Weave for 4 months (a semester)
She uses any oil she can find on her scalp each night, but mostly coconut oil... nothing "growth-ey"
shampoos once a week
and... she eats no refined starches! (biggie right here)

Why are the refined starches a biggie?

Nice progress. I love her fro.

They cause candida overgrowth which stunts your immune system which can cause fungal growth on the scalp which can cause stunted hair growth (which people unknowingly treat with MN). Refined starches and candida also contribute to alopecia, psoriasis, and other auto immune issues that can stunt hair growth.

It's so pretty, her hair looks like a cloud of cotton candy.

Nice progress. I love her fro.

@LiLofthenile ME TOO!!!! My hair wont fro like that
its funny because I have always had more defined coils that could hold a style well (cornrows, presses, wet sets, etc) and she always wished her styles would hold...
and she always had fluffy zig zags that laughed in the face of any style. Immediate frizz every day when we braided her hair or pressed it, which is why she got a relaxer. Now everyone wants her fluffy hair including me!
I love it!

I found a list of refined foods. Very heartbreaking for a fat kid like me, but it makes a lot of sense in regards to hair growth:

white bread
flour tortillas
white flour rolls
hot dog or hamburger buns
white pita pockets
instant oatmeal
sweetened cereal
bagels
pancakes and waffles

I love seeing updated progress pics, gives me an extra kick in the butt.
