Tried some new products this weekend that have been in my stash for a minute. Cantu Shea Butter Coconut Curling Creme and the Twist & Lock gel. I did medium sized twists and air-dried over night. Took my twists out for church and so far the products seem to be working well. My hair is moisturized and soft. I was going to bun all week for work but I may keep the t/o a few days. Here is a picture.

I need about 2 more inches before I can bun. My nape is giving me all kinds of problems. My ends stay split no matter what I do. Maybe when I start rollerseting it will be better.

I have been mia for months now. Just been going through the most. I had to have hip surgery (that was what was wrong with my leg and why I had been in pain for so long), grandma has been in and out of the hospital. Just a lot of things to deal with. My hair seems to have taken a stand still I think. I haven't done anything different, still washing, cowashing, dcing and keeping it in a protective style. It's grown a lot however I'm not retaining and idk why. Anyway just wanted to try and catch up with everyone.

@trclemons, what does your S =/equal? Is S for, sealant, spray, or styler?

I think you should straighten to get down to the core of your ends, then start roller setting from there. Even though I trim when my hair is not straight, when I did straighten it, my ends were jacked up! I had to cut more.

It's for styler, I'm doing a wash 'n go.

I'm hoping they aren't jacked up. I'm hoping that I got a good idea of what they looked like when I blow dried this year. I'm hoping to just need 1/2" to 1" trim since I've been dusting all year.

We are in August now so ladies amp up your regimen to have as much growth and retention as possible.

Let's see your update pictures between August 28th and September 3rd.

 

[Evolving78]

I cut my progress away! Lol I know I won't have much going on by that time frame, but I'm going to do better this go around. Twisting on dry hair now, and will leave them in until wash day. I will spray moisturizer on them. This will be my weekly Reggie. Protective styling until I trim again in Oct.

I am getting a trim next Friday, so it will be interesting to see how much she cuts off. I am not gonna have her even up my accidental cut from the crochet braids either.

Day 3 of my August inversions complete, no massage, no oil - too lazy today for all that.

 

[GGsKin]

Dusted some of my ends over the past 2 days, removing SSK.

 

[Prettymetty]

My local Kerastase salon is doing a special on Brazilian blowouts again, so... I just might get one. Or I could just get an express blowout at the Paul Mitchell school down the street. Decisions decisions

 

[Aggie]

Day 4 of my August inversion is complete. No massage, no oil.

I feel like my hair is finally growing now after all the damage/breakage. My stylist says it's growing nicely since the trim and Olaplex. I don't think I'll get synthetic hair again any time soon...I think that played a part in my hair's current state.

I vowed not to flat iron my hair until December....protective styles only. Hoping I can get it back to a healthy head of long hair

 

[Daina]

@gvin89, Olaplex helped repair my hair a lot from heat damage. I used steps 1 and 2 for about 8 weeks and now I'm in maintenence mode with step 3. Really, really good product!

@Daina, I haven't used step 3. Only had the one treatment in May. My stylist feels every 3 months will be sufficient. I think I'll ask her about step 3.
