I did an overnight coconut oil prepoo. Now I am at the salon getting a Nexxus Emergencee treatment and blowout. I gotta keep these ends healthy and strong as my hair gets longer

My ends feel really good right now. 6 weeks or so ago, they were rough. I didn't know what was wrong though. Since then, I've added a protein leave in to my regimen and focused on double moisturizing and sealing my ends. I can certainly tell a difference. My ends are a lot smoother.

Please share the protein leave in you're using and what you're using to double moisturize with- my ends need help

I'm using the Aphogee pro vitamin leave in.
Pretty consistently this is what I've been using and the order in which I use them:
Aphogee pro vitamin leave in, s-curl, moisturizing spritz (usually Soultanicals kink drink) cream water based moisturizer, ceramide oil blend and butter/pomade. I then reapply all/most of the steps a second time to my ends.
Yeah, I know that's a lot. Lol. But my hair drinks up product.
I usually rotate my cream water based moisturizer (right now I'm using Oyin hair dew) and just switched to Claudie's Montego Bay oil instead of my ceramide oil blend. I primarily use Soultanicals scalp rub pomade but just tried Oyin burnt sugar pomade for the first time and really like it.

Rant: I need a trim reaaally bad, but I'm broke. Crap, I hate being so responsible sometimes.
I have between seriously stretching my washes lately. I just don't have time to spend on my hair these days. I'm going to try to shampoo and straighten sometime this weekend, although I really don't know how I'm going to fit it in.
Also I didn't forget about the pics. It's just hard for me to get a good one by myself, so I need to get DH or my mom to help me.
As far as my ends, I think I could use a minor trim to even things up a bit. Maybe I'll do it the next time I straighten.

My big update us that I discontinued using Aphogee keratin and green tea recobstructorizer spray this past week. I am convinced that this product was responsible for the problems that I have been having over the past few weeks. It may have taken some time to build up, but my hair went from being soft and easy to detangle to rough and having more SSKs every week.
I could actually hear hair snap when I was moisturizing it twice a day. I finally decided to not use the spray this week, and could see the difference immediately. Maybe mow I can work on getting my ends healthy. I'm really overdue for a trim also.

I am working on using up my Taliah Wajid products, so I didn't apply my hair grease to my ends. After washing I used the Protective Mist Bodifier and The Detangler to moisturize my hair. I didn't have time to style it on Saturday, so I took the Curl Cream (or whatever it's called) with me to work on Sunday.
My hair felt like straw, and it was so matted. More than a few ends were wrapped around each other
. I have never had my hair feel so dry the very next day after initially applying product. Those two products by themselves are so inadequate at keeping my hair in a good conditioner. The next time I used them I am going to use my Blue Magic to seal and then style my hair immediately.

Merry Christmas ladies!
I think I'm gonna start tucking my ends away and just wig it up until Spring. In the meantime hair will remain in moisturized pigtails. I need to find some satin hair ties to wrap my ends. I just opened up 2 of the wigs I purchased last week. I love 'em that I think this is my go to protective style from now on. They look so be-weavable

I need to be in this. I really need to keep my ends in check after this last trim.
1. I'm natural
2. SL
3. I'm joining this challenge because my ends keep getting jacked! Tired of trimming/cutting only to have jacked ends in a couple months.
4. I really haven't focused on my ends as much i should to improve them. I've tried bunning as a ps for awhile, but sometimes feel it's hindering progress.
5. To get healthy ends, I plan to moisturize and seal, baby my ends, fall back on bunning and stick to twists and other protective styles
6. I will update at least monthly... let me subscribe

I am really tempted to do an end of year trim. I just got one in October, but I just love the way my hair behaves after a trim. The last beneficial trim dates are Dec 30 and 31 (beautifying). I need to pick up some shears just in case...

Anonymous53,
I'm not replacing the Aphogee keratin and green tea reconstructor. I think that my hair is too protein sensitive. I may use it once a month instead of once a week. I do have alternatives with some of the ayuvedic powders.

I think I stumbled on something my ends like. I relaxed my hair on Monday, and I've been playing around with products to see what my hair likes. Lately, I've been spraying my hair with filtered water, avj / filtered water, Eden Bodywork's Coconut Shea Souffle, and sealing it with Softee's Argan Oil, wearing them in Celie-braids and pinning them down and wearing a scarf..even outside (so ratchet lol smh). So far they have been behaving, but I can still tell I need a good trim. I've been doing this 1-2xs a day. *happy dance time*

I've been doing something similar. I've been mixing Oyin Hair Dew, distilled water, and sometimes castor oil together in a spray bottle and using it as a spritz to moisturize my hair. I've been wearing celie braids for a few weeks now... and yes even under a scarf lol but it's been helping cut back on manipulation.

flyygirlll2 Twins! Lol, I think if I have to go somewhere that might actually require me to take my scarf off, I'm just going to do a side part with two cornrows pinned to my head, sort of like a mock Goddess Braid.

Lol girl I probably look like I escaped from somewhere with these celie's. I just pin the braids on the side and put it in a bun after a get to work. I wear a scarf underneath my hat and once I get to work I take it off. I've kind of been hair lazy lately so this weekend I plan to wash and give my hair some TLC.

Put my hair in a pony to bun it and my ends were stringy. Definitely see a difference in the multiple textures on my head. Still not trimming but I will make sure to pay them extra attention because I neglected my hair all last week.

I'm not sure if I should moisturize tonight or in the morning... It has been raining nonstop so I've been keeping my hair covered with a scarf when outdoors. Thankfully I don't have any frizz or reversion

wanna get rid of these raggedy, see-thru ends I've been holding onto. So tempted to cut them myself, but have been holding out for professional help.
I've been trying to make sure I seal my ends more lately, but I really need to have them trimmed.
Will try to post 1x/month
