Super Healthy Ends Challenge.

Checking in...my starting pic is in my siggy, the last one on the right. (the second pic is also on the same day, but it isn't a good shot it is more for comparison to almost how long it was when I cut it)
 
Checking in

I have been sticking to keeping it simple by low manipulation, no heat, protective styling, & moisturizing/sealing and baggying my hair every night.
 
Checking in


I have been doing no heat, protective styling and alot of deep conditioning. I'm wearing a braidout right now. Is that considered a protective style? Usually I wera buns, but today I wanted to try something different.
 
checking in....applied Hairveda Whipped ends for moisture and coconut oil to seal, every morning and every evening right before I wrap my hair.
 
Baggy 5 times a week, moisturizing & sealing, no heat, bunning everyday, cowashing, and today I will steam for the first time.
 
Checking in:

I've been co-washing nightly and DC'ing weekly with (protein and moisture). Since keeping my protein/moisture balance in check I don't have any breakage. I haven't used direct heat since 4/16 my last touch up and don't plan on using it for the rest of the year. All I wear is PS with my ends either up or tucked away. That's it for me. :)
 
Checking in....I'm continuing to bun everyday and moisturize twice a day. I also seal with oil at night.
 
I totally forgot i was in the challenge, but no worries, i have been doing the best to take care of my ends, baby and paper them. I have been sealing with coconut oil or jojoba oil and so far my ends are loving it! :) today i am 8 weeks post and normally at this point my ends are crackly and just not nice, well I seem to be doing something right as they are the opposite.
Keep loving those ends ladies!!
 
I got sick of the bun.. I felt like a school marm.. seriously.. I saw E about a couple weeks back and her hair was so cute... she said it was a twist out... I was like hmmm.... So I watched some youtubes on it.. my version of "research" ... :lachen:... I did one the other day... and I can so see this being a good way to protect my ends and look "hott" at the same time. So I bought a gang of curls stuff... I can only imagine my hair looking more awesome as it gets longer...

I am using a spray leave in Miracle 7 from Sally's, the Inecto coconut oil conditioner (perfect leave in!) or EMB as my creamy leave in, a KBB hair milk or nectar, and sealing with cocasta.. and cowashing with Aussie Moist daily.. my hair feels seriously like a really good weave. :lachen: I think I even might have been weave checked today... Yes it sounds like a lot of products; but I'm not heavy handed...at all and my hair has no residue after its dry.. just feels like really soft "hair"...

Onward and upwards girls... !
 
baggied last night with my DT/WR co mix and sealed with Nutiva coconut oil. Either today or tomorrow, I am purchasing some ponytail holders and pins.
 
Checking In! Just been Bunnin...the usual...Hairveda whipped cream is a staple for life when it comes to my ends!
 
Well I got my flexi-8 thingamajigs so I will be sprucing up ma buns!!!!.........I'm actually using one now! :yep:
 
Check in

I've baggyed with castor oil twice since the challenge started and I've been snipping my ends here and there. I twist my hair every night I've been cowashing which is about 4 or 5 days a week and sealing with castor oil. I love this stuff.
 
Oh go on then, i would like to join!

I'm in braids and i really want to retain, retain, retain. My ends are the next focus as i seem to be neglecting them.

I will make sure i keep the whole length of the hair in braids moisturised and any hair poking out with get rebraided.:yep:
 
Since the challenge I've been moisturizing my hair with profective damaged ends treatment and sealing with chi silk infusion or a serum by optimum. My ends love it. I read on here the one lady let's her ponytail holders sit in oil that way when she puts then in her hair there's no snagging or damage being done.
 
baggied last night with my DT/WR co mix and sealed with Nutiva coconut oil.

Deep conditioning now with Lanza ultimate treatment deep conditioner, strength/moisture power boosters, and porosity control.

So last night I did a little dusting and S&D. Today I am going to do a HOT with a mix of JBCO, Amla and EVCO. I will then co-wash, DC and rollerset. Once dry, I will moisturize and back in a bun I go with ends sealed with JBCO.
 
checking in... still roller setting, and wearing protective styles. moisturizing and sealing with oil at least once a day. twice if i remember. :) oh, and the occasional search and destroy for splitting ends.

my hair looks as though it has grown an inch since my last trim/chop and relaxer (3/28). so i will probably be ready for a trim by the time my next touch up rolls around. i stretched for 12 weeks last time, which is normal for me. this time i'll probably stretch for 14-16.
