I am switching between various AO conditioners. I am using AO Blue Chamomile, White Camellia and GPB. Eventually I will narrow it down to 1 or 2 but still deciding which one I like better.

I use a cheapie carrot oil cholesterol DC from the BSS. I can't remember the name, but you know the one I mean....it's orange, costs like $3 or $4? :lol: Yeah, that one lol.

It works really well and the ingredients aren't offensive. I mix in a little castor oil, and recently, a bit of Joico DC for a boost of protein.
 
I need to get some AO conditioners :yep: my hair just feels so dry lately. I'm thinking I need to up my deep conditioning.
 
My DCs are HSR, KBB hair masque and Biolage Hydrating Balm. Just ordered a new one from Original Moxie that has a lot of Ayurveda ingredients, so I'm excited to try that.
 
after watching the new vid of Laila(fusion of cultures) i've understand that i will have to achieve APL on the front, and side for having a real big *** afro ! i'm only apl in the back. so APL in the front and side are my new goal.
 
This weeks hair pics (second pic is on blown out hair)

(the top of the brown belts marks my natural waist line)

Next stop: waist length :driver:
 
Hey ladies just wanted to share some pics of my hair this so far this year.
The first pic is a my hair blown out after my last trim.
2nd is my wet hair fresh after a wash
Lastly this is of a pic of my "poetic justice braids"

I plan on keeping the brands in for about 4-6 weeks(I'm sure I could go longer if I wanted to but I get bored easily and since I didn't them myself it's not like I'm wasting much money).

Each day I spray it with a mixture of water, aloe Vera juice, grapeseed oil, and tea tree oil.

If need I will go over that with some coconut oil( I usually only do this every few days)

Every two weeks I co-wash my hair with a moisturizing conditioner. ( if I feel like my scalp needs cleaned I use acv and water mixed in a spray bottle and apply it directly to my scalp. I only shampoo once every 4 weeks so I don't do this unless I absolutely need it.)

At night I sleep on a satin pillow case.

That's about it!

I typed this on my iPad please excuse the typos and sideways pics, I'm not sure how to fix it
 
took a break from personal no heat challenge for Valentine's day weekend and did a blow out for the first time since October. I was pleasantly surprised. I'm pretty sure i've retained everything. :grin: Low manipulation protective styling will be my ticket to waist length this year. This fro will be in mini twists by the end of next week :yep:
