[Mandy4610]

Its 2yrs and 4 month since my BC. I wont bore you with my pics from the whole time, but I will post my BC pic. I know yall have seen it a 101 times, but I just think it is so amazing how much my hair has grown since my BC, I feel like now it is growing slower, but I guess you can see for yourself.

Here is the THEN and NOW: March 2008 vs July 2010

3 months comparison: March 2010 vs July 2010 (see the difference?)

what's your regimen??

Wash with Shampoo once a week (Castile soap...I am looking for a new poo)
*Detangle (Suave tropical coconut)
*Always use a leave-in after each wash(Qhemet/giovannir direct leave-in or a home made mixture)
*Deep Condition at least once a week ( I do a light protein treatment on dry hair before doing my actual DC (ORS hair mayo, Aubrey organics GPB) For DCing I use Aubrey organics honey suckle rose, Banana Brulee/Sitrinillah hair mask)
*Do a hot oil treatment whenever I feel like (oil blend by Naturel, castor and olive oils)
*Use a moisturizer once or twice a day and seal with oil(Qhemet Burdock root, Qhemet Olive and Amla heavy cream, Qhemet olive and honey hydrating balm and coconut oil or oyin burnt sugar for sealing)
*Every week I try to rollerset my hair , I use a bit of leave-in, moisturizer and Sabino Moisture block. Sometimes I straighten with my Maxiglide (My hair is predetangled and I do this in very small sections which makes it easier and safer on my hair).

This is basically all I do for now. I am trying to keep it simple. It looks like a lot, but it really isn't and I alternate the use of products depending on what I am in the mood for.

I have way more products that I use but these are my staples.

Great progress ! Do you straighten most of the time or do you stay curly ?

Hey, thanks. No I dont straighten most of the time. I do blow out my hair often though, my hair is easier to detangle when I wash if I blow it out and this also reduces SSK.

GREAT PROGRESS BEAUTY!!

 

[Mandy4610]

your hair toys and styles are soooo cute!!!

do you keep your hair streched most of the time?

For the most part yes. It helps with detangling when I wash and also reduces single strand knots.

 

[SUPER SWEET]

I love your bun

 

[nikki2229]

Mandy your hair has grown so much.

Keep up the GREAT work!

 

[ms.blue]

Wonderful job Mandy! It's amazing how much it has grown in two years.

Mandy, I love your hair & your creativity. I will be stealing some looks for when I de-weave. You should make a youtube tut for some of these styles. My looks have been lacking I feel because of the lack of accessories and you've just clued me in

 

[Janet']

Very, very, very nice!!! You are so stylish! Great progress as well!

I have thought about youtube, but I am so camera shy, if I was to stand in front of a camera and try to come up with a style, my mind would go blank lol. My inspiration for hair styles just comes by simply touching my hair. Also youtube would put me so so so out there lol, I am scared of that.
