Luscious Healthy Ends Challenge 2017

[Aggie]

Sprayed scalp with xcel 21, used NG Sweet Plantain Leave-in on ends. It is so moisturized, I don't feel a need to use a sealant tonight.

 

[Pmpomatic]

HTN Moisurizing Growth lotion and Jakeala parfait to ends. No Xcel21 to ends tonight.

Last night gave my hair some much needed moisture using mainly QB products. I did the LCOB method using Neutrogena Triple Moisture(L), QB Burdock Root Butter Cream(C), QB Castor and Moringa oil softening serum(O), and QB Aethiopika Butter(B). On the ends I used Xcel 21 and then added some extra butter on top. I rebraided and will leave them in till Wednesday. On Wednesday I will be back in my bun for the week.

Did a 4min inversion this morning. Also been baggying all day since last night. I'll remove my bag in the morning and fluff my ends.

 

[Aggie]

Day 3 of my inversions is complete with Xcel 21 sprayed on scalp and a 3 minute massage, inverted for 5.5 minutes.

@MileHighDiva I use satin rollers.

This is my hair now. I just came from the salon.

I will be using a mixture of moisture and protein for my conditioner tomorrow for my demarcation line, down to my ends. I decided I won't be doing any serious trimming until April. I have S&D a few ends that were brittle from bleach. I feel I got rid of all of the damage for the most part. I know I will stick to using a rinse for now on.

 

[BrownSkinPoppin]

Used castor oil on my ends

 

[Aggie]

Day 7 of my inversions is complete, no oil, no massage, inverted for 4 minutes. Plus I moisturized my ends with APB Ayurvedic Hair Cream.

 

[Pmpomatic]

For the past two days- Xcel21 cream and Jakeala parfait.

 

[Evolving78]

I ended up flat ironing and dusting. Ends feel nice. Back with my hair clipped up.
