Super Healthy Ends Challenge.

Checking in. I've been taking good care of my ends. I've been keeping them off my clothes with flexirod sets. Sealing with coconut oil regularly and using SAA to help keep them strong.
 
I've been keeping my hair braided under my KS instant weave. I moisturize and seal daily. I take down my braids at the end of the week to do my whole regimen and my ends are still looking good. Hopefully by the end of the year I won't need much of a trim. :)
 
Checking in...I've been wearing PS and co-washing 2-3X/week since mid-May and I haven't looked at my ends since then. I'll probably blow-out to see how my ends are doing at the end of July.
 
Checking in. I'm in twists most of the week, DCing twice a week for almost a month now. I pay special attention to the ends when I twist. Yesterday I used some Seyani hair butter on the ends before twisting, and they're feeling pretty good as a result. Still sealing every night. I think I'm going to go to Bed Bath & Beyond and get a few oil mist sprayers. I don't like having too much manipulation on my twists because it makes them fuzzy, but I can gather the hair and use the mister on the ends without creating fuzz city. I'm hoping this works. :grin:
 
Checking in. I've rededicated myself to moisturizing/sealing my ends nightly.
I'm also using flexi rod sets to protect my ends from rubbing on my clothes.
 
Whoops I see that I DID join. Well since the challenge started I've only used direct heat twice. I primarily cowash and wet bun. I don't moisturize my ends every night but I do several times a week. I just took my bun down and moisturized with VS So Sexy mixed with water and sealed with almond oil. I will start using castor oil tomorrow. I work out almost every day so the wet bun is perfect for me.

My alternate style will be a rollerset that I'll wear down 2 - 3 days and then pin up for the rest of the week.

I haven't sealed with shea butter before. How are you doing it Manuska? Are you just rubbing it in your hands to melt it down and applying it? I think I might give this a try since I am bunning more now.
 
Whoa, I didn't realize that I was still in this challenge. I am cutting off old thin ends every 4 months or so and my last trim was at the end of May, '09. Next trim due September, maybe...

Tee your hair is amazing!
 
just checking in! i got a relaxer last week. prior to that i had been slacking on my routine roller setting, but i did air dry in a bun and tried to keep my ends hidden. now i'm back to strictly roller setting. i got a trim with my relaxer (a real trim. not an 1" chop) and i'm almost as BSB. my ends did feel dry after getting my relaxer but i think that was due to me being out of town for 5 days and i didn't have any hair oil on me and perhaps was too lazy to buy some... but since gettng back into routine, i think my ends are feeling better.
 
Check-In

I'm still twisting my hair and sealing with castor oil. My ends are still looking good and feeling great.
 
Still sealing nightly with EVCO/EVOO/JBCO/Shea/Argan/Castor mix. I put it into a mister and hold the ends of my twists and spray them. This has actually helped me extend my twist wear time before they get frizzy, so I'm happy. When I wash and retwist the hair, I can tell that the attention I'm giving is really paying off :yep:!
 
Still putting NTM on my ends. But now since I have been DC more my hair has been becoming mushy. I guess I'm going to have to do a protein treatment either tmrw or this weekend.
 
I washed my hair yesterday and my ends are doing great. I think that by using joyce williams house call for my rollersets my ends are protected longer.
 
Haven't checked in awhile.....ends are doing fine ...still using either Kerastase - Paul Mitchell super strong or Joico K-Pak leave in after shampooing and conditioning...
 
Checking in with a hair update photo...I hadn't seen my ends since May. I could use a trim; but, I don't think they look horrible, so I'll probably wait until December. :look:

My ends still look like crap, lol. I haven't trimmed my hair even enough because I have so much new growth and because I'm in the bootcamp challenge, I don't want to keep trimming it until I really have to. That might be at the end of this year. Hopefully, I'll have about 5-6 inches of new growth, enough to cut off most of the straight relaxed ends.
