Re: 2014 Paltas Hair Treatment (PHT) 1st Qtr

My details:
  • I am a natural 4a/4b
  • 2013 PS was wigs. 2014 PS will be braids/senegalese twists. I PS 98% of the time.
  • Vitamin/Supplements (B-Complex, Bamboo Extract, Biotin, Chlorella, HSN, MSM, YouTheory Collagwen)
  • Primary focus for PHT is to promote hair growth in alopecia areas. Doctors diagnosed my alopecia with "permanent scarring" - meaning the follicles are dead so re-growth is unlikely. But I see fuzzy hair in those areas so I am going to work on them as if I did not have the diagnosis. :yep: (I am sharing this so "naysayers" will not point the "look, see I told you it wouldn't work" finger at the product. My case is a very difficult one - but perhaps not impossible)
  • Secondary focus is to increase length to help me achieve BSL/MBL in 2014
  • I'll apply PHT at least 2-3 times weekly
  • I'll also be using Paltas Hair and Scalp Tonic for Plaits and Weaves.
  • I plan to GHE/Baggy when possible after applying PHT
  • I plan to start inversion and join the inversion challenge in January also.
  • I will be using my Violet Ray/High Frequency Device daily

Yet another thing to add to my Amazon wish list….
• I am relaxed, very thin, very soft 4b hair.
• My PS is wrapping my hair all week, only unwrapping to shampoo
• Primary focus for PHT is thickness
• Secondary focus is to stop shedding which I know is natural, but at least slow it down.
• Apply 3x’s weekly
• I will incorporate my PHT with my inversion

I'm in.

I placed my order already. I just started using some leftover MN that I had. I'll use that until Paltas arrives. I plan to apply once or twice a week. Currently I'm using the inversion method. That's primarily it.

Good luck, ladies.

I ordered it on the 23rd of November from amazon. It claims it'll get here by December 20th to January 6th.. I'm sure it'll arrive much sooner. I'll update once it arrives.


I am natural, 4a/weird looser curls of unknown texture.. Medium density
I'm primarily be focusing on using PHT for thickness all over, mainly for edges!
Secondary focus is length- *hopefully* I'll be able to brush WL by December 2014
I'll apply PHT 4 times weekly
I will be using Miconazole Nitrate and taking vitamins (spirulina, chlorella, collagen, etc.)
I plan to clarify (as needed) at least once per month; also, my hair will be under a wig 99% of the time being baggied.
I'll post my starting pic on December 31st.

^^^ I'm just not good at following elaborate regimens concerning my hair. I look forward to seeing what Paltas will do for all of us. The only supplement that has really worked wonders for my hair has been Mineral Rich. So, let's see what this bottle of Paltas can do.

I ordered today from pakcosmetics. I ordered the Paltas BKC Hair Treatment ($6.58) & Hair and Scalp Tonic for Plaits and Weaves ($4.93). The shipping was $7.14. It should arrive in 4-7 days. I'll update when received.

Ummmm the 2nd & 3rd ingredients are mineral oil/mineral oil derivatives. As we all know over time, these ingredients block pores, block out moisture therefore promoting breakage, which is what we are trying to avoid in the first place.

What is the benefits long term of this & is it worth it?

Sent from my SCH-I535 using LHCF, so please be so kind as to ignore any typos that may slip through. ;-)

You could always use a clarifying agent like Ayurvedic powder to cleanse your scalp one a week, BSoda is good for clarifying as well as a good clarifying shampoo.

Not true!
We been using Monistat to grow bald spots and it got mineral oil.
And when we was kids, our mothers be greasing our scalp and hair with Dax grease and other mineral oil product and our hair be long and healthy
M-T-G which be growing hair like weed got mineral oil

Beauty Brains say people be lying about mineral oil being bad to make us buy other things. I believe this.

@ajargon02 - I posted the ingredients in the information section of the OP so everyone would know that mineral oil/derivatives are ingredients prior to making a decision on to purchase/use PHT or not. I also listed it as a con for the same reason.
As we all know, "everything is not for everybody". Users on various forums(including LHCF) reported good results with the product, so I would assume the ingredients were a non-issue. The same may hold true for others planning to use the product. Everyone must decide for themselves. Cocunut oil may be the holy graile for some but the forbidden fruit for others. Others swear my sulfuir based products, while it causes hair breakage for others. Biotin is the preferred oral hair growth vitamin for the majority but causes cosmetological and physiological issues for others.

I believe use of the product is the only means in which it it's benefits can be determined (on an individual basis) and whether or not it is worth the money and effort. The challenge is a repository of user experiences with the product.

I do hope we are ALL successful in reaching our goals - but if the product does not work for anyone - then I am sure they will discontinue it's use.

o Just thank the post – and tell us your plans:
I plan to PS in wigs and braids next year so this will be perfect.

§ What benefit you would like from using PHT (i.e. alopecia, length, thickness, stopping shedding, etc.). You can want/achieve other benefits – but this is the area you will focus on primarily.
For hair retention and to fill up my nape and edges

How many times a week you plan on applying PHT
3 times a week? Not sure yet.

§ Any other growth methods you’ll be using along with PHT (i.e. Inversion, GHE, Baggy, etc).
Inversion monthly

not at the moment

§ Post starting picture by Jan 1
§ Hair type – (i.e. Natural 4b, Texlaxed 4a, Relaxed, etc.)
Natural something or the other. My texture seems to be changing so I don't quite know anymore.

If you can forgive the backfat, here's my starting picture.
