Luscious Healthy Ends Challenge 2015/2016

[Prettymetty]

Product rave: Herbal Essences Touchably Smooth cream is everything for my ends right now! I use it twice a day; when I unwrap in the morning and before bed.

It has the perfect consistency, smells great and has an easy pump. Best of all it was only 1.50 at Big Lots. I should have got a few more bottles...

 

[Evolving78]

Will spray some leave-in and moisture my ends with EQP mango butter. I will wash my hair tomorrow.

Stretching my hair doesn't seem to be doing much for my ends. I may just have to wait until all the color grows out. I hope it is the color because if not I'm at a loss.

But it is better than it was a year ago. And hopefully with each dusting and trim it gets better. It's probably time for another Olaplex. Maybe I should start using it weekly instead of once a month.

Sorry ladies, I have been neglecting my ends this last week or so trying to get over a head cold. I feel a lot better now though so I will be back to my regimen maybe as early as this evening. I need to start this month's inversions as well.

 

[Prettymetty]

I put in some braids to go under my wig last night. My ends still feel really smooth. I'll add some more Herbal Essences cream tonight.

 

[ElevatedEnergy]

Did my last snipping of the year tonight. I only "trimmed" my bang area. Every where else only needed a super mini dusting. My ends look and feel really good.



I cut out ssk's as I get them, keep my ends stretched and lubricated so I think that has a lot to do with me not needing to trim that often. I've decided to let my hair grow until the length gets on my nerves in which I case I'll go back to maintenance trims (seasonal) But for now, I'm just gonna keep doing what I'm doing technique wise, monitor and snip as needed. No more schedules. I've done this before when I was trying to reach a length goal with no adverse effects. Just gotta stay on top of my game. Hopefully being on the grow again will take me out of my hair funk and give me something to look forward to cause Lawd a mercy, I'm bored out of my mind with hair talk. I wanna be excited again.

That is truly hair porn

My ends need constant love and support, I've been dedicated to doing better.

 

[Prettymetty]

I just put some water on my ends, moisturized with Touchably smooth cream and sealed with Con argan oil.

 

[planters]

I cut away any SSKs immediately upon sight if I am unable to loosen it up- I just started using Ettenio products- I coat the ends with the leave in and seal with coconut oil or castor oil. However Henna and regular baggy treatments is the a good way to keep my overall hair thick and lush.

I'm going to comb out my hair on Saturday. I've been feeling a few lumps in my clumps. It's been a few months since I've combed, and with my drop in wash days (thus detangling sessions), I need to do this before my hair starts locing.

 

[Evolving78]

I'm tired of looking like a slave. Wearing a Twistout this evening. I moisturized my ends with EQP mango leave-in and sealed with the mango butter. I will be washing my hair Saturday and twist for a fresh Twistout Sunday. I need some sort of balance in my look. Plus I was hot with that Tuban scarf on. Looking like I was carrying a shot gun, leading people through the swamp.

 

[Aggie]

I've been using APB Leave-in as my nightly moisturizer and HQS Coconut Lime Oil as a sealant.

I could make your ends into a scrunchie, it looks so lush and plump!

Thank you Ladies!

Used Kyra Shea's Baby Powder & SSI Kiwi Kiss.

 

[Aggie]

Been moisturizing my hair this week with HQS Greaseless Moisture and sealing with ST Cupuacu and Carrot Butter. They are both awrsome.

 

[Prettymetty]

I have ends of steel right now. I can manipulate my hair now without seeing a bunch of dry, broken strands. I think the bkt sealed in moisture and it definitely makes my hair softer.

I've been putting Herbal Essences cream on every other day. I might wash and dc again tomorrow just because it's so much easier now

 

[Aggie]

I used HQS Greaseless Moisture with Avocado Oil to seal this morning before work.

 

[Aggie]

This afternoon I used HQS Greaseless Moisture sealed with avocado oil. I'll be using this month until the avocado oil I have left.

 

[Aggie]

Today I moisturized my hair with DB Sweet Cocoa Bean Hair Whip and sealed with Bekura Palm Tapioca. My hair is happily swimming in moisture

 

[Prettymetty]

I drenched my ends with Herbal Essences leave in and put on my satin bonnet. I'm starting to miss my hair again. Maybe I'll wear it out for a week or 2 after I wash it tomorrow

 

[Lanea87]

Trimmed today and M&S with Cantu LI Con & Mane Choice Doesn't get much butter than this and threw my hair in 4 celies for the night.

 

[GGsKin]

Dusted my ends today before water rinsing.

 

[Aggie]

My hair is still holding moisture tonight so I won't be moisturizing my ends tonight. That Bekura Palm Tapioca is a really good sealant on top of the DB Sweet Cocoa Bean Hair Whip. Nice combo

 

[Prettymetty]

I'm doing a moisturizing dc with Kerastase Masquintense. Next week I'll do a protein dc

 

[trclemons]

Put SSI Kiwi Kiss on my ends today.

I have been styling my hair in 2 strand twists, but with each take down, I get a few knotted ends. This is my last week with twists and I will be returning to wigs for 6 months so my ends will get a rest from the knots.

 

[Aggie]

Tonight I used Eden's Body Works Curl Defining Creme as a moisturizer and sealed it with evoo. My hair feels wonderful.

 

[Aggie]

^^Used the same products from last night .
