Nice and thick! Gorgeous! And how's the new baby?!!!!
Has your hair always been thick?
topnotch1010 Thanks for the regimen!! You're lucky because rollersets seems to make my ends thin
lina I'm relaxed and my reggie is super easy. I roller set once a week, usually on Sunday, with my own little mix. I mix wrap lotion with water and lottabody 2:1:1, respectively. I use coconut oil on my hair every night before I wrap. That's it. Since I'm in a new city and don't know/have to impress anyone, I've been bunning a lot too. My buns look better on previously rolled hair. That's it.
I relax every 8 weeks with Mizani Butter Blends mild and shampoo every week using either my old faithful Herbal Essence Long Term Relationship or Joico. I recently tried the Herbal Essence Moroccan Shine conditioner and I like it A LOT!
g.lo There really isn't a way to prevent color fading. The color fades because red color molecules wash away very easily. Also, it's a fact that shampoos that are designed to reduce color fading are also very drying, so beware. I add a little color to my conditioner when I wash my hair to help with the fading and I only use semi-permanent color that DOES NOT have to be mixed. Some people call these glosses. Anything that has to be mixed will reopen the hair shaft and cause you damage! I use the color gloss once a month. Oils cause the color to fade quicker, but we need the oils to keep our hair in good shape. IDK, it's a balancing act for sure. I only color glaze the blond every so often... I wouldn't do it more than once per month. I have seen breakage in clients who do it too often, especially when trying to use heat with it to cover stubborn grays.
