Can I join?
I am a newbie to this board, but am OH so glad I found it. I am jealous of you ladies, and am using you all as inspiration!
I wore braids for years...then wore natural...back to braids - then permed. Had some crazy growth, but damaged my hair from touching up too often and overlapping when processing. Am currently at base of neck/almost shoulders.
So, I am stretching my relaxer out to at least 8 weeks(a HUGE step for me!). Won't overlap again. I wash 2x weekly with Aveda Sap moss, CON or MNT (I rotate). Deep condition 1-2x week with Olive oil or Hair Mayo under heat for 45 minutes. I use Nexxus Humectress, Infusium, or MNT as leave in's. I have just started surging this past week along with the baggie method at night on my itty bitty pony tail . I run a few times a week, and will con wash on those days when the sweat is bad. I moisturize with Aveda Brilliance and S Curl for my new growth and dillberry beads.
I take GNC UltraNourishair....prior to that I was taking Perfectil (the UK Hair Skin & Nails formula). May switch back, those GNC horse pills are chokin me. Also take Vitamin E and Folic acid.
I would love to have real shoulder length by June, with another few inches by December. When I learn how to post pictures, I will. I am also on a 5K challenge, and starting Oprahs Bootcamp.
Back to pawing through the boards!
