9 weeks post today:yep:

Me too! I'm gonna follow you're reports of how many weeks post you are because I'm horrible with dates :yep: and our dates are a couple of days apart. I ordered some Wen hair products from QVC and want to use your braiding method to wash my hair with it. Has anyone tried Chaz's products before?

Happy Holidays everyone! We may be getting a white Christmas in NY :yay: I can't wait!

Hey ladies,
I'm 14 months post relaxer. I still have some relaxer on my ends. I'm going to take my time and slowly cut it off. My hair is neck length ( what I think is neck length..LOL) My goal is shoulder length by 12/2010. What do you guys think? My ultimate goal is thick healthy hair. I would love to have bsl hair by 12/2012 but we will see. I know that is aggressive goals. so any help you ladies have would be greatly appreciated. My hair line is my main focus right now getting it healthy again.

My regimen is really simple right now
I wash once a week( job and schedule doesnt permit me to do more)
I wash my hair with nioxin ,condition with nioxin then with creme of nature (nioxin strips some of the moisture)
I use shea butter to give moisture and seal with a little olive oil

I take nioxin vitamin, biotin, vit E, iron and multi vit

so what do you ladies think?

:hiya: Welcome!!!!
Does your hair feel moisturised enough? I ask this because shea butter doesn't really moisturise my hair, I mix it with aloe vera gel, coconut and castor oils (I use this mix as a sealant). If it moistuirses your hair well, then keep doing what you're doing :yep:

Sounds like a simple regimen so I like :yep:

Well done, 14 months post!!!!! How's your transition going now?

Welcome to the thread! I'm originally from Akron, how about you?

Welcome Determineddiva! Congrats on making it to 14 mths! Your goals sound pretty reasonable to me, I'm sure you'll make them. You mentioned that the nioxion strips moisture, have you thought abt diluting it a bit and applying it via an applicator bottle? Or maybe shampooing every other wash day, and cowashing on others? Those things have really helped as far as my hair not feeling stripped after wash.
 
So I told my boo last week that I'm transitioning and he was like, "What's that? Some kind of movement?" and I said no and explained the whole concept to him and he was like hun, i can't wait to see your real hair. A few days ago I sent him a pic of Erykah Badu with really big hair and told him that's how my hair is going to be in the end, not sleek and straight and just wanna prepare you for it. I thought he'd be kind of freaked out or something but instead he's literally been doing cartwheels ever since. Everyday he's like, "how's our transitioning going? When can I see your hair?" I love the support and encouragement so much. Just thought I'd share this. :)

thanks mummysgirl!! college was whoopin my booty this semester so i had to fall of the boards and go hard on school work. but i never forgot about my hair. i can't believe its been 21 months! time is flying! and i saw your 1 year post thread. congrats =)
 
OOOHHHHHH EEEEEMMMMM GGGGEEEEE, Black Hoya Chick your hair is freakin fabulous. It's so long, thick, and lush. It looks completely natural in that pic. KUTGW. I know I certainly won't be able to last that long, kudos to you.
 
Hey MummysGirl,
I forgot to add that on the weekends when I'm sitting around house use a mixture of shea butter, coconut oil, glycerin, olive oil, and little of conditioner as a spritzer. This keeps my hair very moist. Because of my job I cant really wear twist, or some of the other protective styles. I usually flat iron and wrap it at night for about 5 days then wash etc. I cant wait for my hair to get a little longer to wear it in a twist set. I think those are so pretty. I love your pics. so yes when I wear my hair flat ironed shea butter seems to keeping it moist. Any suggestions are welcomed.
