Retouch Photos...

[EXSQUISIT]

Just wanted to share the progress I've been making. I'm pretty close to waist now

and hoping I can keep these ends moisturized and keep maintaining my growth. The last two pics in my album were taken today after a fresh retouch. I hope to get highlights in two weeks and post pics then if I don't become too chicken by then. Thanks ladies for all the wonderful tips!!!

Thanks Ladies!!! I am very proud of the progress and I owe it to all the wonderful tips I got here and Carolyn Gray's first book.

Tracy, I don't do anything special to my hair, (and that is honest). I only take a multivitamin. I wear it down like 3 days a week and the rest of the time its just pinned up on my head. I do rotate my products out, meaning that I use a different shampoo/conditioner rotation each week. I make sure that I keep the ends very moisturized and use minimal heat, although I am falling in love with my flat iron.

HoneyDrop, yes those dates are correct. I will be glad to give you my regimen. I will pm you because its lengthy and I don't want to bore the mess out of everyone.

 

[Tracy]

BORE!!!!??????? NOT!

Your regimen is a HOT COMMODITY right now - I can assure you! You could probably SELL it right now with that growth rate!

I'm sure it IS simple - ain't that always the way!

There's no such thing as a nutshell Carolyn Gray regime - it's very long and involved and has tons to products to rotate....

But it's good. She primarily focuses on ABHAI kinds of products though - specifically made for black hair.

 

[silvergirl]

wow your hair looks like it had grown 6 inches in 6 months july-dec.

keep up the good work
an id love to know ur regime as well

 

[inthepink]

Very nice, Ms_Jennifer....

Go ahead and post that regimen...

 

[EXSQUISIT]

Hey Ladies. .....I will go ahead and post it here. Don't say I didn't warn you. It's long.....And Honeydrop, Carolyn Gray had a book out that emphasized rotating shampoos/conditioners so as not to let your hair get used to one product. Other than that she mainly emphasizes the things on this board like minimal heat, moisture etc.

As far as my regimen goes, I wash my hair once a week and
deep conditon with heat. I rotate moisture one week, protein the next.

The shampoos I rotate each week are Motions Lavish conditioning Shampoo, Cream of Nature, Aphogee Evening Primrose, Ion balanced Cleansing, Motions CPR, LUST shampoo

The moisturizing conditioners I rotate are Motions Moisture Plus, Qp intense Fortifying, LUST, Fantasia Tea Trea (for my occasional itchy scalp) , Dark and Lovely Ultra Cholesterol

My protein conditioners are motions cpr, aphogee 2 min reconstructor, ion balanced moisturizer, RX professional prescription protein pac

I do a conditioner wash at least twice a week due to heavy workouts with either v05 creamy peaches, suave coconut or smooth and sleek.

I moisturize my ends with evoo, or evoo/distilled water mix, or scurl or smooth and sleek/evoo/distilled water mix, or hot 6 oil to seal in the distilled water.

Gosh honeydrop. I left all that out on your pm. see i told u it was a lot....I think that's it ladies. Let me know about any questions.
