Hello Everyone:
My true 2 year napturalversary will be in January. I did hope to be APL in December but I have not had my last length check. If I am not APL, it iiiiiisssss
a journey. It is growing and healthy although I di have some breakage after those Sengalese twists that I had to have in the summer. I have to have more respect for my hair after that.
I am natural and have had my hair straightened last December, June for a length check and trim and now I need a new one. I will get it this month.
Because I had a triangle shaped loss near the right crown, I have not had nor will have any extensions until after I have had a full recovery.
I am not looking at the original posting. I use either come clean, whip my hair, go moist or Shea Moisture Black soap shampoo if I need buildup removed.
I use either a bentonite or Rhassoul clay treatment once a month with ACV.
I use Alter Ego Garlic conditioner. I have a variety of deep conditioners Vanilla Silk, MD peach honey, coffee kokum, and I used some SSI okra and mocha silk recently.
Because of the breakage I bought a bottle of Aphogee 2 step. I have a few portions that look like they are raveling. I have a steamer and a standing dryer at home. I am at my mothers and should find a bonnet portable in the basement.
I have used henna in the past but am reluctant to use it at the moment because of the breakage. So I will wait until next year to use it.
I have been doing JB castor oil massages for the scalp and in the breakage area especially. I have also been using monistat on the patch. I moisture and seal using the loc method. I am trying to use up this claudie's that I have.
I spray with braid spray(Claudies) use MD argan oil combo, JBCO to ends and use claudies quinoa or ends insurance on my ends. I baggy a few nights a week and wear a bonnet. My hair is cornrowed.
Because of the breakage, I felt very self conscious. I decided to braid and let it rest. I bought about 13 wigs online. Today I wore creta girl for the first time. She has a lot of red in it. The hair grade is nice. I initially felt like a pumpkin with all that color but I have to switch up sometimes.
I am using viviscal in the daytime, Nioxin in the evening. I can't take too much shellfish type vitamins. I take b complex, Multi, zinc, garlic, biotin 5000, and 2 Dong quai root daily. I got burnt out taking those MSM capsules. I need an easier source to swallow. I am eating a better diet but not enough water and exercise.
