Alright ladies, I've never done this before. EVER!!! So I'm EXTREMELY nervous, but at the same time hope that LHCF can help me restore some length and health in my hair. So I finally got the courage to take some photos and I tried to attach some pics here (though I could only do 5) I also added all to my fokti address in case you cant see them in this post. (hope this works) but maybe now I can figure some things out including my hair type. Please note, I haven't had a relaxer or chemical of any type in a few years now.

Last night I went out and could NOT get to the store to get the Aussie, so I stuck with the Pantene relaxed and natural intense moisture conditioner.

Last night I went out and could NOT get to the store to get the Aussie, so I stuck with the Pantene relaxed and natural intense moisture conditioner.
- So first I washed it with the Afogee deep moisture shampoo,
- followed by the afogee 2 min conditioner (reconstructor) they the bottle said leave on for 5 min for more extreme cases... I chose 5 min and put a shower cap on.
- Then I rinsed it out and followed up with the pantene intense moisture conditioner under a cap for another 10 min with a hot towel. (My blow dryer broke and my hair dryer is in storage. )
- I rinshed this out with some herbal tea rinse that I had steeping and OMG no breakage!!!!!!!!
- Then I applied Elasta QP oil moisturizer (which is more like a creamy oil)- Soooo sucked! Wont be using this again, but maybe it was cause my hair was wet. I let it air dry as much as possible. Braided it up and slept with a scarf.
- This morning, my hair was not breaking but it didn't feel the way I liked, but my ends don't look so crazy either. I added some more oil moisturizer in case it didn't work because my hair was wet and it came back a little...... Still dumping it for something else.
- As always the pantene is great, I'm not so sure about the afogee shampoo though...
- Loved the tea rinse, first time no breakage after a wash.
- Actually enjoyed taking photos for the first time, though I'm sooooooooooo embarressed!
- The reconstructer was alright... not sure if it helped or not though.
- The aphogee shampoo
- That dayum elasta qp
- How the heck am I gonna cowash if I can't seem to restore the moisture in just one wash.. I'm worried I will have a mess. Wet hair one min, dry ashy (for lack of a better term) hair the next.
- What to put in it when it's wet
- What to put in it once it dries.
