Greetings, Beautiful Women!! I posted this in another thread, but this is more visible. I'm Tahja Starr and I joined LHCF on Halloween.
I began this journey 6 weeks ago, after my last relaxer. Unfortunately, I didn't get pics from that day. I've decided to stretch as long as possible.
I've used the flat-iron three times so far, and I LOVE it! Once I acquire a couple round brushes and a good dryer, I'm going to do monthly Dominican Blowout.
I started pampering my hair 6 weeks ago, and I've got 1/4 to 3/4" new growth. I've got 4a relaxed hair, THICK. Below the nape in the back, ear to chin length around the rest.
My regimen at the moment:
*Moisturize w/ Motions 2-3x daily, oil on ends & hairline.
*Scarf and updo's w/ PhonyTail (falls for performances)
*Wash 2-3x week. (I dance, teach, do cardio & yoga 3-4x week)
*Protein weekly. (ApHogee smells awful, gonna try a homemade mask soon)
*Flat-iron bi-weekly.
*Vitamins: Women's Multivitamin, Vitamin E capsules
I was hesitant to use occasional heat & brushes, but my hair takes to it brilliantly. My hair is beautifully dyed with Bigen's Oriental Black, but I read about the levels of PPD in it, and never again. Looking into henna down the road.
I also want to say THANKS to everyone for being a part of this forum. It's heartwarming to join such a positive and supporting community of women. Rarely have I encountered women that have an honest desire to encourage & help other women.
I've already learned so much from you! I'm inspired, enlightened, and look forward to my own journey to getting my hair as healthy and as long as nature allows.
