Hairlove-
Nope, I was not always natural...when my mother was doing my hair when I was younger my hair was nearly waist length unstretched (the good old days). Then I started doing my own hair....and wanted it bone straight like everyone else in school, So like a fool I went against my mother and got a relaxer. I came home after getting it done and my mother cried. At the time I didn't see what the big deal was. Then it was all down hill. My hair broke off between the excessive heat, scissor happy stylist, and lack of hair care to shoulder length. So I began to transition using braids, china bumps, two strand twist, and weaves.
It took my hair like 1 1/2 year from above shoulder length to bra stap
My regine now:
Friday/Saturday: Major wash day...
Pre-treat hair with olive oil...then shampoo and condition with one of the following: (pantene hydating curls shampoo and conditioner, deep brillance, vo5 nourshing oasis honey and almond shampoo and conditioner) This is the day I would use some sort of protein...once a month
one of these depending on my hair mood:
I like qp elasta breakage control serum..
deep brillance reconstructor...
bead head chocolate head
aphogee ,
hennalectulant.
I usually sleep in a deep conditioner after a protein treatment... like lekair- with aloe vera or some sort of avacado conditioner.
After my hair is washed I put in:
911 leave in conditioner
vo5 straberries and creame...sometimes
curl activitor gel
mango butter / shea butter
and ego boost on the ends.
then i conditoner wash during the week as needed..usually every two days.
Most of the time my hair is in a bun or a phony tail/baggie method.
And I used to take msm, epo, biotin, calcium and magneium, vitamin c, b-complex and womens ultrs mega....but right now i'm detoxing.
Wow, it took me a while to actually think what I do to my hair. It seems like a lot typing it...but really it comes in like second nature.
What's your regime like?
