Ladies, I need to share this...
Been using my MT consistently. Did a quick co-wash this evening using just VO5 pomegranate
conditioner.
Ladies, ladies, ladies!! I am 12 weeks post-relaxer and
I had NO SHEDDING AND NO BREAKAGE. I kept looking at my comb, examining my tub, my towel, my wet back.
NO HAIR!! NONE!! ZILCH!! ZERO!! NADA!!!
Let me repeat:
NO SHEDS, NO BREAKAGE. NOT EVEN ONE HAIR!!
I typically get hair some shedded hair on my back when I'm rinsing and combing my hair through in the shower with my Jilbere comb and conditioner running through it. I generally get some hairs on the wall or the bottom of the tub. Or, I'll get a couple of hairs in my comb.
I GOT NO HAIR!! Let me repeat that once more:
I DID NOT SHED NOT ONE HAIR!! NOT ONE!!!!!!!!
This is very new for me and is freaking me out. Why? Because my hair is extremely fine and thus prone to breakage and shedding so I have to be very careful.
My hair is now strong. When I do get a shedded hair, it seems more dense, harder to break apart. Strong and resilient.
Ladies, at this point, the growth is not as important for me as the strength, health and overall condition of my hair. It has improved drastically. I am now confident that I can continue with my stretch through mid-August, which would be another month, ending a 4-month stretch.
I ordered the Ovation set and will add the OCT and MT together. I now like the shampoo and rinse which I will use once or twice a week. But I'm stepping up my CW for now for the remainder of the summer and henna-ing as well.
I'm just delighted with the good things happening to my hair. FINALLY!!!!!
