Keep up the good work!!!!!!:grin:
 
^^^^I know right, I'm so excited for the next update
@Taina, since it's a new month I think I will tweak my reggie a bit and include the juice.
I can wear cornrows or twist now that I like how they look. So for the month of April I will poo 1-2x's a week. DC 2x a week. I will use my Surge spray on my scalp every other day and Ultra Max to oil my scalp @ least 1x a week. I plan to use the juice when I apply the Surge spray to combat dryness. At the end of the month I will see how well it went.
 
Sorry it took so long for me to post my pics. I still need to look at everyones pics. Hope you all got the growth you wanted.

I stopped tripping off of my hair. Watching it grow is like watching paint dry.

Thanks Taina for this thread and your hair is looking good.

I'm still taking care of my hair, and stopped being a PJ long ago, I have 2 products I use daily. Its all good I'm just going to let it be and do its thing.
 
Thanks for bumping-

Hope everyone is doing well. I am on the juicing challenge- so far great.

I just purchased the suave almond natural conditioner during my grocery shopping trip to Wally World. I am going to cowash with it tonight.
 
Hey everyone...I "texturized" my hair, and am starting to regret it. OY...5.5. mos of natural hair down the drain...so here I go again...I'll be BC in about a month and a half, just so I can have some hair when I BC, lol.

Live and learn. Everyone's hair is gorgeous and coming along nicely.

Don't give in to the creamy crack - you will regret it. :yep:

Shinyblackhair, Sistah I know how you feel. I went there twice. It took me 2 years plus to get out of the mindset of the creamy crack. Then I was all natural for 2 years. Then I put color w/bleach in it, straight trippin. Cut that all off transistioning, then I got a halo and all hell broke loose and before I knew it I was permed up. I was just trippin off my hair the other day how it would've been down my back by now. But, oh well you live and you learn. Better now than later.
 
Well, just thought I'd share with everyone that its been two months since my recent big chop. Pics below!! :grin:

Its longer and much thicker:

Me today:

And also:

I have discovered "the juice"--Pink ShortLooks SassAFraz Spray to be exact. I've been using it for a few days now and I can not tell you how soft and "non greasy" my hair is! :yep: I'm officially able to wear a headband now. And hopefully, I will be able to do comb coils/palm rolls next month.
 
:blush:I want to join!! Can I join pleeeaassseeee?! (I know I'm late!)

I have braids in my hair til May but when I take them out I can upload the before and after pics! I BC'd in February 2009 and I've been on and off braids since to grow my hair out. When I take out my braids I will post pictures and my regimen, but as of now, my reggie in the braids is to wash and DC 2wice a month and moisturize everyday. HHG!
 
I can't believe it, but I was able to put twists in my 1.5 inches of hair. The camera really isn't doing me justice because they look really good. My brother even complimented me on them--which is RARE!!!

i never posted my starting pics so here they are as of today.

Well my um "regimen" is:

Cowashing daily/every other day with suave, giovanni silk smooth deep moisture.
I use LeKair/Lustrasilk cholestrol for deep conditioning/weekly
I was using kccc but not so much anymore
I use giovanni direct leave in and Jane Carter nourish spray leaving
Use oil to seal ends and sometimes do oil rinses

I do a cold rinse on my hair at the end of every wash.

I do protein treatments when ever i feel like my hair needs it.


I also shampoo with sulfate free cone free products when needed.

Thats it for now.

I am so happy that i am starting to become in tune with my hair/body. :grin:

Here is my update below

not much has changed as far as regimen....i use mostly the same products in the new pics you can see the different textures and shrinkage amounts better than in the first pics, and the front of my hair has started to hang...i was styling (or atleast trying to) but for now i plan on leaving my hair alone for a long while as far as styling goes

Hi ladies!! Hope everyone is doing grande.

I have nothing to report. Today makes week 3 of my cornrows. I would like to make it to 8 weeks. :ohwell:.. however I am just sooo bored and want to see whats going on under the rows. lol

I will make myself keep them in for at least another 2 weeks.
 
ganbatte ne Yaya-chan!! (good luck)
My hair is still growing jeje, i was just messuring the back for fun and is a little bit longer than the pictures i posted in the thread, i'm so happy ^^

My hair was feeling weird the last couple of days. The only thing I could attribute it to was using the suave coconut condish that I loved in the beggining, but I had another bottle of suave strawberry and was using it up...I think my hair like the strawberry better so I'm going to switch back.
I'm contemplating getting braids but I think I love my hair too much to cover it up...illl have to figure something out.

Your hair is coming along great. I love your curls in the back. Keep it up! Have you tried Aubrey Organics yet? I like Honey Sucklerose....give it a try.
 
i chopped off all my damaged hair to the scalp feb 6 2010. so i wonder what it will look like june/july. i will keep updating. its a heckuva journey....
 
Hi everyone!!:grin: I'm new after lurking on lhcf for quite a while... :look:

but anyways, I transitioned for a year and I chopped my hair almost two weeks ago. Now I have a shrunken fro, but I can't wait to grow her out :) Anyways, I think I play in my hair too much, and I'm wondering if I should do a protective style like yarn braids for a portion of the summer (although that would be peak wash and go time:yep:) hmmm. :grin:

let me know if I am abusing these smilies... lol I love them! :lachen:
