I know we know Kenya Moore uses Moore Hair Care and all 
but before that existed I highly suspect she was using Morrocan Oil. She's at a salon that endorses them and I've never seen a salon endorse a product and not use it on clients. She says she rollersets multiple times per month and I doubt she goes to someone different every time.

Omg!! Do you mind if I ask why? Did you have damage or did you just want a short style? Either way, I hope you love your new cut!

Should I condition with Silicon Mix, Kanechom Banho De Cristal or Alter Ego Milk Cream?
Should I use gel in my hair or no? Or should I just use a leave in conditioner and go?
I'm curious as to how gel works on bare hair.
Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Conditioner (herbal essences honey I'm strong and suave coconut), a lot of water and the pressure from the shower. Finger detangled root to tip first then used a 3 row comb root to tip. Took 20 minutes.

No I don't mind. The short story is I experienced major hair loss throughout my hair over a 2 month period. It was so rapid; the hair loss was unrelated to my scarring alopecia. I went to my doctor, did tons of blood work and the cause of the hair loss and my worsened fatigue is still a mystery.
The only thing that came up from my blood work is very low Vitamin D, but I have had that for a few years now and I have never lost hair like I did these past few months. The hair loss was like patches of 1/2 inch legnth hair throughout my head. The volume of my hair decreased noticeably and it was getting challenging to style my own hair so I began rocking wigs and pieces again.
The hair loss really got me down and worried. So I opted for a short cut instead of stressing myself daily about my hair. I'm not here for the stress...I'm continuing my healthy hair regimen and as of now I'm choosing to focus more on my internal health, mental health and the health of my scalp.

On a good note, your attitude is so positive - your hair will bounce back. You're doing the right thing by focusing on more important things. Keep us updated on your progress and what you're doing to get it healthy and growing again.

I second what @Aggie said. I'm sorry you had to go through that experience but I am proud of you for not letting hair stress you out! Just letting go and focusing on your overall health is definitely the right choice. Hair will come later

I have a lace front wig and a couple of full lace.

I watched that one two days ago. I liked the unfluffy result as well as the fluffiness as the days passed. I wonder if I could get my hair to do that.
Someone said my weak twist-out looked pretty. She was seated next to me on the more frizzy side. That was a shock. I gave up on the Slap Cap after a few hours of wearing it, too hot and tight, so I just wore it as is out in public. I guess I will try again...

Keep forgetting that I used to do protein treatments when I first started taking care of my hair. More than likely the reason my hair isn't thriving like it was before. Said I wasn't going to buy anything but I should get like 3 bottles of protein treatment since there will be Easter sales

The fact that other people would flip out over what you put in your head. All I can say to 'em is...

Hmm, I usually find myself rolling my eyes because it's not that serious.
I couldn't afford to be like that because I was a kid. And there weren't many options 20 years ago except Kiehl's Silk Groom, Aveda products, curl juice and a few other things at the BSS.

Maybe if I say it enough I'll stop playing the fool and trying to stretch my wash day out. My hair was a tangled mess.
But you know what! Mercy said no and this Joico Moisture Recovery has gotten my tangled hair all the way together.

Agreed
This is one of the reasons why I am going back to Kerastase, Redken, and Keracare products. They are not known for changing up their formulas too often but Redken tend to phase out some of their product lines and I don't particularly care for that. I do limit my Redken products to just a few that I know works really well. Kerastase and Keracare are pretty stable with their formulations. Matrix Biolage is not so bad either.
@Aggie Which conditioners do you use from Kerastase that are moisturizing? Also which are protein? I know I've asked this like 3 times but that website overwhelmes me so bad

For protein you definitely should look into getting the Therapiste, Force Architect and the Densifique/Densite lines.
For moisture Chroma Riche and Chroma Captive.
Cristaliste (adds shine) and Masquintense both have a balance of moisture and protein - I use the one for thick hair.
Maskeratine and Oleo Relax are for smoothing very frizzy and out of control hair, and
the Specifique is for sensitive scalps. These are the ones I am familiar with at the moment. Hope this helped.

@Prettymetty,
Have you used Kerastase Elixir Ultime Masque? If so, how do you like it? I was thinking about adding that to my stash at some point. Oh and how did you like the Chronologiste if you tried it? I haven't gotten that one yet either.

I haven't had to moisturize my hair since I washed it Friday. I'm amazed! I did an overnight grapeseed oil prepoo and a protein prewash as well.
Tonight I will add some ltr to my ends and seal with evco.

Elixir Ultime is probably the best smelling mask they have. It makes my hair shine a bit and like all the other ones it gives me slip.
I haven't tried Chronologiste yet... I'm waiting on a sale.

Okay will add that one to my list and get it a little later - bolded. I'll think some more about the Chronologiste one before I add that one.
Thanks hon
I might be crazy or Wild Grow Hair Oil actually works. I purchased a bottle and was using it sporadically. Fast forward to me washing my hair tonight, I have so much newgrowth. I was examining my ends in preparation for my trim next week and I can barely spot the unevenness I was prepared to cut off
