Thanks! I will need to take a starting picture. Here is my regimen:Nope!!!!! come on in!!!!
Congrats on the wedding!!!!!! Blessings to you. As for the ends, keep them moisturized. All the time. and seal them. And instead of trimming, try and do a search and destroy, cutting out only the split and raggedy ends.
found my staples so far for at home care
Motions shampoo
motions lavashing conditioner
Motions leave in conditioner
Minzani Wrap Foam
Alterenate Blow Dry Low Heat Setting/High
Sedu Flat Iron
Salon Visits Every Two Weeks(roller sets only) Relaxer Every 8 Weeks
those are my staples!!!
P.S i am going to start using Apoghee Products pretty soon but for now until they run out i am a motions girl
i would stick with the bun and braid outs , i think wearing a half wig the combs might irritate the scalp before a relaxer
! Welcome to all the newbies. How is everybody doing? I've started to use the OCT for a wk now and my hair feels so great and smells so good everyday
. I haven't experienced extreme shedding yet but I'm not looking forward to that. I hope it's gonna help me retain some length. I use it 3x/wk, cowash w/ VO5 3x/wk and DC 2x/wk. We'll see where this leads me.
lol, i agree. School does suck. I hardly have time for here anymore.Hi ladies, checking in after what feels like years. School sucks
Just want to welcome all the new ladies who have joined. :welcome3:

I figured I would come by and give everyone an update on my hair...
Things have gone sooo wrong Im thinking of giving up
So like I told you guys before my mom suggested I get a full sew in weave bc of my working hours and going to school. Im usually out the door at 7:45am and home around 11pm.
I figured why not it helps in the mornings I cant just unwrap and go and it would be to protect my hair.
The last time I relaxed was may 24th and my new growth is out of this world I have so much. I had reached my firt goal of APL and was so happy.
On Friday night I decided to take the weave out after 4 weeks and wash treat and and get it re applied.
When I took the weave out I was amazed the growth was crazy and my DH and I couldnt believe the difference.
I went to wash my hair and I guess I didnt comb my hair enough before washing it and the entired things got so tangled it was impossible to undo it.
I tried everything to get the tangle out and it didnt work. The complete left side of my hair felt like I had dreads.
I spent 5 hours trying to save my hair (well the relaxed part of my hair) it didnt work. I had to tear my hair apart and I do mean tear. The hair broke off with the knots and now the left side of my hair is see thru and back to SL while the right side is fine and APL.
I did treat it and re apply the sew in. I really dont know what to do i am sooo mad at myself I actually cried my eyes out.
I dont undestand how could I be so careless. Now Im thinking should I cut everything off and start over? or if I just do major protein treatments and wear wigs so I can treat my hair weekly would that be better? Should I relax since its been 3 months? Did I wait too long to relax? All these things are driving me crazy and makes me just wanna give up this whole hair thing. Im so depress, so confuse
I am so sorry about this Pretty. It will be okay. Nothing worth having is easy to obtain, some obstacles are bound to occur. 
) So far, I'm enjoying the journey.
!!! I like the owner, BJ, she is a member here. The prices are fantastic and she is very good to her customers. I sound like a commercial don't I?
Just saw this thread. I think it's great for newbies like me. My hair has experienced some trauma this year and I was thinking about cutting it to SL, but since joining LHCF, I'm going to work with my hair to restore it's health. My regimen isn't solid yet bc I'm experimenting with different products. (I need to attend a couple of PJ Anonymous sessions
Hi Shay!!!!!! I have been itching to try out HairVeda's products. How do you like them?
Many of my HairVeda products are lying in wait to be used once I use up other products. But I can at least report on a few of them:
Moist 24/7 Condish--I use this for co-washing. I just realized I have new growth today. The demarcation line is not really obvious and I've had no tangling issues. I'm 4 wks post.
Whipped Cream--I've used this 3 times for baggying and I could notice a difference after the first time.
Vatika Frosting--I use it as a pre poo and for hot oil txs. Its a solid oil but melts bw your fingers. It smells just like vanilla frosting.
Avosoya Oil--I use to seal. Its lightweight which I like but may switch to vatika frosting as my sealant once I use all of this.
What I said wasn't much help with the oils but maybe if you have specific questions? Everything smells so good
You do, but i truly appreciate it Shay. I am looking for something to tame my newgrowth since i'm thinking of transitioning so the Moist Condish 24/7 sounds really good. i'm going to check out the site more to see what i want to order.
