Hey Mistee!!!!! What brand of hair did you use for your sew-in? I plan on getting one, but i am clueless to stuff like that.
.
, I can pretty much hide it but it's still discouraging because I know it's there. I don't want to trim again until the end of the year so I'll have to keep a watch on it 
erplexed. I've changed up my regi a few times, now I'm using Indian shampoo bars, powders and oils, along with my DC's twice a week.
Shay,Armelle,Hi Ladies,
It's been a while since I last checked in, I've been doing alot of lurking here and there, I've gotten some growth which is good, but I have been feeling a little discouraged because it just seems to be moving so slow. When I joined the forum I had this terrible W shape in the back of my hair (you can see it in my first siggy pic), back in May I thought I trimmed it up, but as my hair grows longer it seems like it's back again
Hey Fiya, are you still using the powders, how are they working for you? I've been trying to use them also, and I think I'm tweaking things enough to start to say I can do it. The first couple of times I used them my hair was nice and full but it looked dry and felt hard, so I've been adjusting the amount of powders and water and things are working out better.
using a link I found in Sareca's fotki. 
. I hope it will make my hair stronger. Since I trimmed today I am going to dust my ends on a monthly basis . I flat ironed for starting pics but for the next 90 days I will probably air dry/ ponytail roller set.
. Do you have a regimen already?
Hey Bign!!! I've been meaning to make a post on how i have been using Ayurveda. But i've been using the Oils and Powders consistently for about 5 weeks. I use Shikakai and Amla as pre-poos. I then do a tea rinse containing 3 tbs amla to 1 tbs of either shikakai or aritha. I was mixing it with water but now i boil Fenugreek seeds and use the tea from that to make my tea. I then apply it all over, no scratching for about 10 minutes. Then i rinse it out until all the grit is gone. I then co-wash 2x with V05 moisture milks conditioner. I do a DC with Queen helene afterwards, rinse that out, apply a leave-in and proceed to doing whatever style i want to do. All in all i like it. Its really thickened up my hair, especially my ends. After my last relaxer, i had to get a trim but on my recent pic i seemed to have gained a nice amount of growth.Hi Ladies,

Go to>>>> Hair care tips and product review discussion...then select >>>> Favorite Stickies....this will answer alot of your questions!
My hair gets really dry so washing it every three days and deep conditioning it everytime after i wash really helps me. My hair feels a lot softer and is so much easier to detangle. Also moisturizing morning and evening helps. It's the first time I'm able to strecth my relaxer to over 6 weeks. it's been 10 weeks now. Good luck!fiya'slovechild--I tried to go back and thank you now that I know how to do that but it didn't work!
My regi:
Although Carol's Daughter products get mixed reviews they have brought my hair back from the brink before so no need to change. My problem is laziness. Here is what my routine is supposed to be:
Wash 1x/wkly with CD Rosemary Mint Shampoo
Deep Condition 1x/wkly with CD Khoret Amen Smoothie
Use CD Khoret Amen Leave In Conditioner (once finish with what I have I will switch to CD Black Vanilla Leave In Condtioner)
Daily use of CD Hair Milk
Daily use of CD Khoret Amen Hair Oil (will switch to CD Lisa's Hair Elixir once finished with what I have)
CD Some of Maugerite's Magic 1x/wkly
Wear silk cap nightly
Relaxer (Optimum Care) every six weeks (I could probably stretch it to 8-10 weeks if I took better care of my hair)
Questions(Forgive me because I'm sure there are many more to come)
What are the benefits of co-washing?
If my hair is really, really, really (get the point

Hi Armelle!!!! You can look up in my other post to answer some of your questions. When i co wash I use either Herbal Essence Breaks Over Conditioner or V05 moisture milks conditioner.

Hey Shay!!! Eggs are a great source of protein. I apply 2 eggs and i mix it with EVOO or Coconut oil then i add a little conditioner in my mix then I let it sit for about 45 minutes. I do apply a little heat to it but not much as it can cook the eggs, and we don't want that,lol. I have let it sit up to 2 hours and it was good that way too. Eggs are mainly for those who want a little protein but don't want to overdo it, such as using Aphogee.Armelle English & fiya'slovechild--I guess thanking KLomax was a fluke because I have been unable to thank anyone since then. So I will manually "thank you". I am learning so much already. I always thought washing my hair more than once a week would dry my hair out. To be honest I am scared to try new things. So I may start out slow and wash 1x/wk and co-wash 1x/wk and see how that goes.
fiya'slovechild--Can you tell me a little more about the eggs? Do you use it as a rinse? Do you let it sit in your hair? Sorry, questions, questions, and questions
, good work girl.
