This has to be the challenging of hair types to grow long and strong and thick. What has not worked for me: S curl, too much moisture (as in kjeeping it moist all the time...I found that my hair became stiff and unmanageable and very untouchable looking. No movement. Further, it looked plastered against my scalp. And forget grease, heavy oils etc. Just frustrated me.What I decided wqs to prescribe a treatment that would give me what I wanted because I have very fine stranded hair (as in baby fine) But people assume by looking at it that it is really thick. So I probably have a lot of strands of very baby fine hair, lol. I wanted thick hair, with smooth ends, less porosity, no breakage at all, bouncy and behaving hair, and no bad hair days!!!!!No greasy hair, no tangles, no knots and no trimming.
1. I use henna conditioning to strengthen. 2 Eqyss Avocado Mist as a leave in. Infusium 21 Original after conditioning with homemade Cathy Howse conditioner heavy on the peppermint and camphor and for the protein I use
Straight Arrow Hoofmaker in the mix, along with Paul Bragg's Liquid Aminos,honey, cinnamon, aloe vera gel,asefoetida powder, castor oil, avocado oil.....A real all around heavy duty conditioner that includes a lot of moisturizers. I use this at least once a week. I do other things, but to make a long story short, I have to balance the moisture, protein and the acids so I do a coconut lime mixture to which I add MSMto insure that my hair strands get the sulphur that smooths the cuticles right down to prevent frayed ends and strands, and keep it looking really shiny.
2. It is very shiny, and healthy looking and I get a lot of comments on it. By the way it is starting to grow again so I guess it was just in a resting phase.
I wear it wrapped in some form for three days, but at night I spray it with distilled water to which I have added a dash of rose water and occasionally with Avocado Mist.
3. I only comb it when I am preparing to wash it, and to detangle before sectioning and wrapping and I have stopped using the brush all together, I use a silk or satin scarf and that smooths the edges. Just doing this hasallowed my hair to thicken considerably. I air dry and cover with a mesh scarf to dry. Cover with to sleep. Use homemade wild growth on the ends once a week. I add pure virgin coconut oil from the Islands just before I section to do a comb out and section prior to wrapping. Hope this helps someone, because my hair has never been this healthy. What I am amazed about the most is that my strands are appearing thicker and thicker. special tips...I take down the wrap only after the 2 days of being sprayed while wrapped and believe me my strands are pumped. I make sure it is absolutely dry before I take the wrap down. I leave it uncovered for a day first to make sure. Then I add the WGO. My hair does not thin out toward the ends, and I make sure to switch the wrap style each time to avoid thinning. Hope this helps. Bonjour
4. I take MSM, I split a 1/2teaspoon daily to avoid feeling sick from the detoxifying, 2 Hair Skin and Nails (FutureBiotics) and Puritan Biotin 500 (ever second day) to avoid the Biotin breakouts.
I thought it was just me, but it could be the baggie. If I continue with it, I'll try using less product in the baggie.
