Thanks for the comments ladies. You ladies really know how to make a girl feel good. I was feeling down today cuz i gained so much, but after your comments, i felt great!!!
Anyway, to respond to some questions, I am going to update my regime. Its pretty simple but here goes:
Hairstyles: I wear a bun every single day, and have done so since i started noticing breakage in November. I take teh bun down twice a week to co-wash.
Regular Wash: I wash my hair with shampoo (CON dry brittle hair) every two weeks. I never comb my hair in teh shower...only when partially dry. Once a little dry, i put cantu leave in creme in my hair, and put a whole lot of kemi oyl on my hair..especially my ends. kemi oyl has owrks wonders. it seems to straighten my hairline and kitchen when i apply wet and wear a scarf.
Co-wash: I co-wash twice a week with CON conditioner. No manipulation at all. I put teh conditioner on (no combing), take a shower, and when im done, i rinse it out. THen I put my hair in a bun with a scrunchie. put a scarf on, and i dont take the scrunchie out until next co-wash. now, i sleep with a scarf EVERY night.
Deep condition: I use Dark adn Lovely Ultra CHolestrerol mixed with Silicon Mass. Stay under dryer for 20 minutes, then leave plastic cap on all night with deep cond. in hair. i remove the conditioner the following moring. i deep con. every 2weeks.
Relaxer: I use Creme of Nature Reg.
Everuday products: Kemi Oyl and Cantu leave in creme Every day on the part of my hair thats exposed (flyaways and stuff). Becasue my hair is long, my hair stays damp in the bun for at least 2 days..so my hair is always moisturized.
This low manip. regime has caused me to retain lenght. I only go to the salon for relaxers. I stopped going for weekly maintenance because I was losing too much during the detangle process when they rollerset my hair. Just wasnt worth it. so now, my hair is getting adn longer because my hair is not being ripped out of my head. i am very gentle. i must say though because i rarely comb my hair (only on regular shampoo days), i get tons of shedding because the hair hasnt left my scalp. but everytime i do, i always notice some lenght retention. that gets me excited.
Vitamins: none right now.
I think i covered everything. let me know if u guys have more questions
.
goodness your hair is pretty!
