Very impressed on your hair and choice of products. Girl you working that dress in both pics!My hair came out a 10.
Used MillCreek Biotin shampoo, used Goldwell Definition as a cuticle sealing step. Then used MillCreek Biotin conditioner which has both Keratin and Collagen proteins. I skipped my moisture step because I used TJ NS as my cream rinse. My hair was shinny and beautiful! Smooth, I barely needed a comb. That's saying something for a 4 a/b cotton head.
This natural head loves protein!

I'm still trying to figure out what is your blog address? Glad to hear it working out. I did my hair sunday and been using this DOO GROW anti itch on my scalp and my hair is really responding well. My scalp was a dry mess before I used it.

Deep conditioned earlier today with Lanza healing moisture and Designer Touch equilibrium moisture balancing conditioner for 1.5 hrs. without heat. My hair feels and looks a 10! I am so happy to have found a useful way to use the DT conditioner b/c I was getting ready to trash it and told myself to try it as a deep conditioner/protein add in and it worked!

Forgot to report I dc'd with a greek yogurt, wheat protein, and Cocasta & Shikakai Oil mix on Thurs. 10! I really think it is a cumulative effort of upping my protein. I am starting to find staples and I am happy about that. I still need to try my Komazacare Hair Strengthener. I hope to do that on next thursday. I still also want to try cowashing with my Hairveda Moist PRO (balancing condish) and the 2nd step of my HV Methi Sativa Recovery System. I also jumped on the ayurveda bandwagon and will be adding that to my reggie.

On Sunday I prepped my hair for braids. I washed with Dr Bronner's shikakai soap, folowed up with Joico K-Pak and DC'd with Silk Elements megasilk w/ gvp biolage matrix balm and molasses.
My hair was fabulous. Even though there was nothing in my hair but vatika and castor oil after, my hair was shiny with a substantial feel. When I first started with LHCF, my hair was very soft. Some of it was as fine as baby hair and it was nearly impossible to braid it. My very first forray into hair care was an aphogee 2 step protein treatment. My hair has steadily improved ever since. I'm new to both DC's and protein treatments but the combination has done wonders for the health and thickness of my hair. Thanks guys! Protein is definitely my friend.
Oh, and btw, my hair is such a 10 right now!

I did a Henna treatment today. My hands are orange! I left a post about it long story....... I'm not finished I'm still sitting. LOL!

Goal:Hip length stretched
I did another treatment on Thursday with Motions CPR. I'll be using this for the next few weeks to ensure no more breakage, just as a maintenance measure. My hair looks and feels a lot stronger. I haven't followed up any of the two protein treatments with DCs(I usually do) but I give my hair eough moisture during the week and I wanted the full effects of the protein. So far my hair feels a lot better. I should have known that I needed more protein before my hair started to beg for it
. I'd say my hair feels like an 8 or 9. When I get this shedding to stop, it'll be a 10.

UPDATE: This has to be THE BEST hair day I have had sense being a natural. I did my Henna, set the bowl in hot water to make the dye release really fast. I then added Olive Oil and Pantene Relaxed & Natural Conditioner to the mix and applied with my hands. Made them orange
I washed my hair before doing this. Put on a plastic cap and let sit for 2 hours, then rinsed, shampood with Pantene Relaxed and Natural. Put the Relaxed & Natural Conditioner back in and sat for another 15 and then rinsed. My hair felt amazing and so soft. I then applied my Aphogee Pro-Vitamin leave in and Green Tea spray, and a GENEROUS amount of Chi Silk Infusion for once while still wet, blow dried and straightened. I wanted to take pictures but my roomates camera was dead Hopefully I can do this again, but although my hair is not at the length I want it to be my hair feels like a 10. Maybe a 9 but pretty much 10. It's straight, it's glossy, shiny, soft, conditioned. I don't even know how to explain it. I can see the growth in my hair for once, it's just perfect. Too bad this hair probably won't last through spring break but at the moment I'm in love, and I'm glad I revisited the Pantene I once hated so much. I feel like they changed the formula? I'm in love. Goodnight
