I\'m new!

Hello, everyone!

I'm a new member and have just recently started to read the WEALTH of info on this board. /images/graemlins/shocked.gif

All of the threads on vitamins and supplements are great!! For the past year and a half I've been consistently taking a nutritional drink and some vitamins that go with it and it's made my hair healthy. /images/graemlins/grin.gif I definitely know from reading that I need to buy Iron, Zinc, MSM, Silica, and Biotin to go along with what I already have. Thanks ladies and I look forward to hearing more!

- JE

I'm so happy I found this site!! /images/graemlins/laugh.gif I started a hair album today too! Here's the link...

Re: I\'m new!

Thank you so much for the compliments! /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

I think in the first picture, my hair was about bra strap length. I recently went to the hairdresser and asked her to "TRIM" my hair and she cut off about an inch to 2 inches /images/graemlins/angry2.gif (hater!!)

Anyway, when I was younger, my hair was down to my waist so I really want to shoot for that again!

I basically just wash my hair once a week with Tahitian Noni shampoo and conditioner. I try to deep condition every time I wash w/ the same conditioner. I get a relaxer no more than once every 2 months or so. I don't really take vitamin pills but I take an ounce of the Tahitian Noni juice supplement daily (it's a nutritional suppplement in the same product line)... I love it!

Re: I\'m new!

Thank you, sweetcocoa /images/graemlins/smile.gif

The Tahitian Noni product line is really huge in the caribbean and is starting to get more popularity in the US too... they have the hair care products and the juice and lots of other stuff like vitamins and protein drinks, etc...

The actual "Noni" is a fruit that originated in French Polynesia. I started taking the juice because the extracts are good for skin/hair and also complete body health. The brand I use (Morinda) isn't sold in stores so I buy it online... here's the link...

http://www.tahitiannoni.com/165287

The site has info on the fruit itself, how it's extracts are used and what it does... i love the shampoo and conditioner... the bottle of juice supplement usually lasts me about a month... if you go to personal care under "shop", you can read the description of the shampoo and conditioner...

Wow jamaicanempress,

Thank you so much for sharing that website, it has a lot of interesting information. Also, can you please share the ingredients to the shampoo and conditioner? As you can see, I'm not only a "hairfanatic", but an "ingredient fanatic" also! /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: I\'m new!

Oh definitely... I'm learning to become one myself /images/graemlins/spinning.gif I just looked at the site again myself and I realize that they only list...

fatty acids (from coconut and palm)
avocado oil
wheat oil
noni oil
no sulfates

I'm at work right now so when I go home I will definitely post exactly what's on my bottles at home. /images/graemlins/smile.gif Whatever they put in it... it works wonders! /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: I\'m new!

i've heard a lot of good things about noni and noni juice. i was tempted to try the juice but was worried about the taste. how does it taste? did you have any adverse reactions? they sell this brand at a health food store near me. God bless you all.

Re: I\'m new!

Azul11,

I think the juice taste like a grape juice to me... because they add grape juice to the noni for flavoring along with natural preservatives for shelf-life. I've grown to really like it. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I've definitely seen the ones in the health stores like GNC but I'm not sure I trust those brands because alot of them add synthetics and don't taste as good... /images/graemlins/lick.gif The one I use is Morinda Tahitian Noni which Morinda only distributes themselves (not to stores /images/graemlins/frown.gif)

I haven't had any side effects but it varies slightly from person to person since noni works to cleanse the body and then repair damaged and degenerated cells. You can definitely tell it's working the first week or so that you take it. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Welcome /images/graemlins/wave.gif Jamaicanempress!!!
My mother takes the Noni juice, a couple of years ago I used to go over their and drink it but I wasn't really educated on all its benefits, I only drank it because my mother said that it supported a healthy immune system. So it actually works, hmmmm..... /images/graemlins/grin.gif I may have to purchase my own. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: I\'m new!

Hi guys... again, thank you so much! /images/graemlins/blush.gif

I've got the ingredients to those products as requested by Hairfanatic. I think this is all of the ones I use (see below).

Londondiva, I'm from Kingston... went to Meadowbrook high school and I've been living in the states for about 4 yrs.

To Miss Montserrat, my sister and I pretty much have the same hair type. My mother is Chinese and my father is Black so I guess that mix is what gives me my length and texture. In addition to the Tahitian Noni line, I use 911 leave-in and moisturize with whatever /images/graemlins/ohwell.gif I guess I've gotta be more aware of what I use... /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Your hair looks great!!!

I have some noni juice, but it's a different brand, and it's nasty /images/graemlins/frown.gif , after I'm done w/it I'll try your brand.
