Don’t think I’ve had much retention since April. Not the fault of Queen Shea, but I have been adjusting my regimen a few times since then.

Chicoro is right. The hair on the right looks healthier.The hair on the right looks thicker and fuller and has a deeper sheen. It looks more moist.

Lol, the pic on the right is the one from April, left was this morning. April pic was 1st day hair & doesn’t have a lot of product in it, today is three days old with wrapping at night with Shea butter, so it’s weighed down, not as fluffy. It does look a bit shorter to me, but my hair is thin, just sometimes gives the allusion of thickness depending on the products used. Took another pic in better lighting, but still looks thin n flat. Heck I’ve lost about another 21lbs since April, so I myself look thin and flat compared to then.Chicoro is right. The hair on the right looks healthier.

@Chicoro@MyAngelEyez~C~U ,
You and a couple of other ladies put Keto on my radar. Since July 7th, I too have been doing some form of Keto along with Intermittent Fasting. Thus far, I have lost 10 pounds in the month of July. I have 10 more pounds to go. I'm trying to get sexy like you, too!
Shea Sexy from Head to Heel!
(Or Horn to Hoof if speaking in Unicorn Terms)
The herd is on hiatus? Where are those Shea made hair unicorns at? Are we done? Are we on cruise control on the road to super long hair? Have we left the building and moved onto something else?
I'm in maintenance mode myself.

Still holding steady with my Shea Butter. I’ve also been putting it in my coffee in the morning. Just a little cube worth. I like that subtle nutty flavor. May just be a placebo effect but my periods have been a lot less rough. I’m always looking for any type of fatty acid that aids in easing PMS symptoms. So far Shea Butter In small doses might just be helping. I’ve only been putting it in my coffee for a month now so we will see.via Imgflip Meme Generator

I have lost some of my progress, due to my stylist trimming my ends. I think I’m an inch shy of APL. I’m don’t think my longest layer will reach BSL this year, but I’m okay with this. My hair is very healthy for being a fine texture and color-treated.
Don’t mind the frizzing. I kept touching my hair and it’s humid.
This will be my last silk press for the year (so I say now). I am going to hide my hair under a weave for the fall.

As far as my hair goes, I’ve been pre-pooing with Shea Butter and Almond Oil. Hair is super fluffy and lightweight.
I’m living for my thickness that is slowly coming down. Here’s last weeks picture I took. Thanks to my new growth as well with all the added volume. My left side is doing well too. Since I’ve been parting my hair in just two sections, going straight across. Lot less hair fall I’m noticing as well.

I’ve been using the Melanin Twist Cream (which has Shea Butter as #2 ingredient) and my HBCO, and I think that’s the only reason why my hair has been holding on. I’ve been neglecting my poor hair in lieu of other things going on in my personal life.
View attachment 450047 I made conditioner yesterday with fenugreek oil, saw palmetto/horsetail/burdock root oil, Shea butter, BTMS-50 and water with a tiny bit of ACV to get the pH in range, and preservative. I added some slippery elm, marshmallow root, and Irish moss to it as well...side affect of having too many ingredients I wanna try, lol. It feels really slippery between my fingers so I hope it has some nice slip. Gonna try it out later today. I’m back on wash n go mode after stretching my hair all summer. I think my hair missed being in this state. I’m loving Camille Rose Curl Maker (I found a dude selling bottles of it out of his trunk for $5 each, lol. You know I jump on that!). It just makes my curls perfect and defined without the hard caste. Anyway, I’ll update after I use this conditioner....keep me n my hair in prayer, lol.
