Hey guys! A Happy 2012 TO EVERYONE!!!!!
I know it's been forever since I made a thread here, but I wanted to share some updates. I recently cut off all my hair in an effort to regrow it stronger, longer and much healthier than before. As well, having dealt with breakage and issues at the nape/edges and crown area I needed a much anticipated break, so I decided to cut it off!
ETA: I've been natural since June 2007...This big chop is just a fresh start on a continued journey
Ok...back to the post
Here are some pictures on it: The True Cut was done:
November 18th 2011
(I did my initial big chop at home on the 16th, but went to the barber and had him even it all out on the 18th, so I document from that day forth).
If you want to see a video I posted one month post, last December 2011, check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJkDd5lxgZc
As well check out the video of how I wash and moisturize on my channel.
For all you naturals out there, particularly type 4 hair, what are you using this winter to moisturize and seal your hair? Please share products, regimens and tools. Thanks.
Currently I co-wash mostly and then I will use a light leave-in and a light oil to seal and that's it. So far pretty good, but I'd love to see more deeper moisturizing leave-ins and sealants if possible, so please share.

Mostly I like butters (like shea butter or stuff with shea butter in it). The biggest boon to my moisture is probably deep conditioning and I've been using Lustrasilk Shea butter plus because it works so well for me and is nice and cheap, er, inexpensive. I also will not rinse all of it sometimes to give myself something of a leave in.
