Newbie - Finding my Regimen - How long?

[hairgirl]

Thanks for the information Hairgirl, your hair looks sooo healthy and beautiful. I'm looking forward to the day my hair looks like that.

Right now I'm experiencing some shedding and I don't know why. Thus far I've been using Con, UBH Deep Conditioner, NTM-Leave In and Olive & Clove oil to seal. I've also started taking Biotin, 5mg and I am using BT (which I love). I'm thinking I may not have the right balance of Protein and Moisture yet, so I'm still working on it.

If you have a stylist or can go to someone reputable get a hair analysis. A good stylist will be able to look at your cuticle/hair shaft and offer some suggestions. Without seeing your hair I wouldn't want to lead u in one way or another. I can tell u my experience w/NTM is that it didn't offer lasting moisture "for my hair needs," lots on this bd. find it helpful though.......Olive oil was also one that didn't work for me as a sealer on dry hair (I got breakage), but is great as a hot oil trtmnt. I just bought a jar of Keracare conditioning creme and that adds moisture 4 me w/out breakage or weighing it down. Sometimes the products may be the culprit............but I'm not sure on this one.....

Its almost a year and I still trying to pull my regimen together. All I can say it keep it simple. One more thing about the clove oil. I used some clove essential oil in my henna mix a few month back, to cut the smell, man it dryed my poor hair out. Eliminate the clove oil and see what happens. HTH

Thanks for your help Hairgirl and Ladytq, I guess it's time to move on to my next round of oil products that I have on hand, including Vatika oil and Amla oil.

Thanks 4N6...good to know. I was a PJ before I became a member, kicked the habit and like you said I can feel that itch again.

At least here you can check other members reviews and find someone with similar hair and then go PJ crazy
