Two and half months into a 6 month stretch.....pray for me (update and pics)

[stephluvshair]

So I have been inspired by Sylver to try a six month stretch. I am not sure if I will make it but for now I am not having too many problems. I am currently two and a half months post (ten weeks). Here is my newly simplified reggie for all who may be interested: I want to incorporate Motions CPR reconstructor into my reggie . Someone please tell me where it should go on the list and how many times a month.

Wash 1x week (Fridays)
Prepoo with coconut oil (thursday night)
Shampoo with Mizani Botanifying Shampoo (can no longer find original CON)
Heat evoo, coconut oil, castor oil in microwave for 60 seconds
Mix oils with ORS replenshing pack and Deep conditioner for 30 mix under dryer
apply leave in: Infusium Original formula and rollerset
blow roots light and apply coconut oil to ends of hair

I leave my hair down on the weekends and bun it for the entire week until the next fri when I wash again

*Apply JBCO and MN at least 2x week and and thats all folks
* I just started applying MN this week so I will be giving an update soon
*JBCO has done wonders to my hair (helped make it thicker and longer and is growing out the V shape)

 

[Ladybug33]

Great Growth!!!! Have you been using MN mixed with the JBCO this whole time?

 

[stephluvshair]

No i have only been using JbCO....i just started using mn last week

 

[Poranges]

Wow. Your growth is amazing. Good Luck!

 

[stephluvshair]

lol you ladies are making me nervous saying good luck....i have stretched to 16 weeks before but i had lots of breakage...this time i think i will do a better job...but i dont want to make things worse

 

[MrsSmitty77]

WOW that is fantastic growth for 10 weeks!!!!!

 

[shandaw]

Girl, you go your growth is amazing. Good luck by the way.

 

[stephluvshair]

thanks for the encouragement ladies....I wonder how long i will continue to do rollersets

 

[sharifeh]

amazing growth! best of luck with your stretching!
your hair looks awesome! do you exercise as well? because your growth is really phenomenal!

 

[stephluvshair]

I run track ....but i never thought that had anything thing to do with my hair ....I dont drink soda at all but I pretty much eat healthy (lots of chicken and red meat, rice and water) I only eat breakfast on sat and sun because that the only free time I have to myself: I eat scrambled eggs, sausage and scalloped potatoes or waffles) I'm greedy I know

 

[My-Foolish-Heart]

I would probably try adding the Motions in every other week as a DC to help with the breakage. Also, co-washing helps me keep my hair moisturized when I am stretching for a long period of time. Otherwise, I love your reggie and growth!

Wow, that's 2 months worth of growth? it would take me like 4-6 months to get growth like that... great job!

 

[stephluvshair]

Break a leg then? How does JBCO compare to castor oil? I always mean to stretch but I don't know if it makes that much of a difference. Gratz on your progress so far. You should be a regular in the sylver 2 stretching challenge and the transitioners challenge to help you out some.

Great progress!

Regarding your question regarding the Motions CPR, I always use reconstructor after the shampoo but before the moisturizing DC.

So in your reggie it would be, prepoo, shampoo, reconstructor, DC.

Also, I use my reconstructor weekly, but you might want to start w/ every other week to see how your hair reacts to the protein, then gradually increase it to weekly. Though it should be safe since Motions CPR Reconstructor is a very light protein. I used to use it.

 

[Highly Favored8]

WOW that is a lot of growth. Congratulations. Yes, JBCO is the truth.

 

[stephluvshair]

Thanx Esq.2b. I need to start incorporating this reconstructor so my hair wont break... I pray that I make it to 6 months

 

[AnitaTheLengths]

Wow! That is a lot of growth! Congrats! I need to get some more JBCO!

 

[Mercie]

WOW.
Keep up the good work.
I wish I had growth like that. o-o

 

[stephluvshair]

can I still use the ORS replenishing pack after using the Motions CPR reconstructor? or will i have a protein problem.

 

[Esq.2B]

I use the ORS pack following my reconstructor (Aphogee 2 min, or Nexxus, or Fantasia IC) with no problems. ORS pack contains very light protein, but it's more of a moisturizing conditioner.

What does JBCO stand for?

 

[fattyfatfat]

jamaican black castor oil????????????

I googled it and thats what came up. im not sure if thats right though.

What does JBCO stand for?

 

[stephluvshair]

JBCO stands for Jamaican Black Castor Oil...it helps thicken and grow hair. It is dark brown and has sort of a strange smell. It feels kind of thick but I only apply it to my scalp

 

[fattyfatfat]

Ohhh! I think I would like JBCO. where did you purchase it?
