I can’t believe I’m writing these words right now but I’m going on 3 weeks of straight hair!! I think it’s my stylist y’all cuz my hair didn’t last 2 hours when I straightened it myself for Christmas. :lol: The edges have reverted a little but that’s ok. I had my brother take some pictures for me so I can have an accurate starting point. I’m loving my ponytail!! Longest ever too!

Hello everyone ! I relaxed my hair yesterday and I am finally at elbow length. My ends are a bit uneven but mostly healthy. This is the longest my hair has ever been. The site won’t let me upload pictures but I will try again later in the week. I waited 4 months to relax and I spent 3 of those 4 montes applying scurl and shea butter religiously.
To resize my photos I use the app: image size. It’s the Apple App Store. It’s easy to use and best of all free!
 
I spotted a rogue and wild Shea Made Hair Unicorn in another thread.

Unicorn treats won't work for her. Let me get my magic lasso and see if I can rope her over here:

Look at her name, too:

Hey, @AlmostTamed , can you come here a minute, please?

Let me practice so I can be ready when she comes over:

She uses a butter where the first ingredient is Shea butter. Hopefully, she will post a picture
here and share her regimen with us. Her hair is long and lush and she said,
"It's the longest it's ever been."

I get the same result. I use KCKT then shea butter then Wetline and I don’t get any crunch. I used a TON of gel this time. I think this is my go to combo. The only problem is it works better if I let my hair dry a bit before I add the shea and on weekdays I don’t have that kind of time.

Yeah, I've used Shea Butter as my leave-in for my wash and gos but never with a real gel like EcoStyler.

@GettingKinky
Also, if you make that aloe vera gel/shea butter hair pudding, can you report back on it? I tried it once but with more shea butter than aloe vera gel and it didn't work for me. Seeing this recipe with more gel and less shea butter has me wondering if maybe it didn't work because my ratios were off.

Your hair is beautiful! I love that healthy shine too.

I am going to wash tomorrow but wow girl your growth, shine, and easy maintenance plan is helping your hair stay healthy and look great!! Keep it up !! I can’t wait to see your hair at the end of the year it’s gonna be

The mix I use now has equal parts aloe and shea and it works well, but it’s hard to spread. I’ll let you know how the pudding works. I want to try it this weekend.

thank you! I’m glad using the whipped Shea on straight hair is working for you too. This morning I tried adding 2 pumps of S-curl before sealing with Shea and my hair hasn’t reverted! I’ll do that instead my next go round. :yep:
 
Progress pics- although not in the order I uploaded, the poses are quite similar for a visual comparison. Last year Feb-2018 to April 2019 and one pic from January 2019. I had 3 stylist trims last year, the last being in July.
I can definitely see I retained all, my lead hairs gained a posse of friends. Since I didn’t trim I’m doing a search & destroy until I wash:D
