-protective styles:
-products:

My intention behind this poll is to hopefully get info and tips on haircare that can help myself as well as others .

 

[LongHairDreams]

Well, my ultimate goal is between sl and bsl. As you can see by my pic, I have a long way to go. Im still kind of tweeking my regime. Right now im co-washing and DCing 1-2x a week. I can only do an afro or put hair in a headband. Im not taking vitamins. Im using V05 conditioner, Creme of Nature (favorite), care free curl gold, glycerin, hollywood beauty olive creme (all make my hair soft).

 

[skyborn09]

My ultimate goal is to be Midback by this December 08'. I am currently full Apl and 2 inches from Bsl.

Hair Regimen:
*I relax every 12 weeks and I wash my hair 1x a week but by week 10 my newgrowth gets outta control so I have to wash 2x a week
*I do low manipulation so I comb once a week but I finger comb everyday while I moisturize and seal
*I use the whole NTM line except for my UBH moisturizer and Hollywood beauty Olive Oil
* I also deep condition 1x a week and use a protein treatment 1x a month
*I also use direct heat every other month maybe 4 or 5 times a year or just not at all....my hair has dramatically increased in health once I did this!

Vitamins:
*I don't take vitamins

Protective styles:
*To tell the truth right now for about a month and a half I haven't been using protective styles and my ends have suffered......I'm now steppin up my game and I'm wearing a bun as we speak.
*I also rollerset for curls and pin them together in the middle for a mohawk...very cute
* But um my main styles are buns,mohawks,high ponytails, braidouts,twistouts, and half-up half down styles

Products:
*I use the NTM line exclusively because it has made my hair so soft and managable
*Non-NTM products I use are...Hollywood Beauty Olive Oil, UBH moisturizer, and UBH deep conditioner

[TLC1020]

My ultimate hair length goal is MBL and I hope to be there by december of this year . Right now I'm on my way to BSL hopefully I'll be there by May no later than July!

 

[KaramelDiva1978]

I truly believe my absolute ultimate length is MBL. I used to think BSL would do it and now that I'm about 3 inches away, I think MBL will seal the deal for me and give me tons of styling options. So now, how am I getting there?

Hair regimen:

I am Ayurvedic almost completely since nothing gives me results like Amla and Shikakai. I love Coconut oil and my new love is its companion, Castor Oil for sealing. Daily moisture by way of ORS Carrot Oil and S-curl does it for me keeping me moisturized all day long. I pre-poo, tea rinse and deep cond weekly. I'm a full-time student, but I want to make time for a co-wash at least once in the week. I deep condition either with CON purple label, ORS replenishing cond, or a new one I like Organix Coconut Milk condish.

-Vitamins:

I have a liquid multi-vitamin, but I'm not consistent with it. I take it when I remember.


-protective styles:

I mostly do buns, rollersets, curled pony tails and have recently done some braidouts that are cool. But I really want to rock my braidouts when Spring hits. Sometimes when I rollerset I do updos and try to keep it cute.

-products:

Amla and Shikakai powder tea rinses
Shikakai hair soap
CON conditioner and (shampoo rarely)
ORS Replenishing cond
Organix coconut milk conditioner
Coconut Oil
Castor Oil
ORS Carrot Oil
S-curl

Protein: ORS Hair Mayo, Lekair Cholesterol

I think that's it, I've found my staples in moisture, conditioners, and tea rinses.

 

[KaramelDiva1978]

TLC1020, I'm with you on that MBL!!! I know our hair is similar, so hopefully we can make it together.

HHG!!

 

[rosie]

I chose MBL/BSL somewhere between the two of those. But to be honest, I am already at the longest lenght of my life, so anything more is gravy.

-Hair regimen:

• Co wash with Suave coconut mixed with ACV and baking soda
• Weekly deep conditioning treatments
• Moisturize with Proline comb thru (switching to Curl Activator Gel)
• Seal with castor oil
• I am adding the shikakai/aritha bars and henna to cover my grey

-vitimans:

• Busted - I need to take mine more regularly. I take GNC women's utlra mega pak. It has a multi, HSN, omega 3, digestive helper, etc.

-protective styles:

• Usually I wear mini braids for about 2 months at a time.
• Lately, I've been wearing a press out and really trimming the knots and splits on my ends.

-products:

• Castor oil
• Pro Line Comb thru Moisturizer
• Pro Line curl activator gel
• Suave Coconut conditioner
• Organics Hair Mayo
• Aura Cherry Almond Bark conditioner

[audacity.]

My ultimate goal is MBL.

All answers to the questions are linked in my siggy in my regimen.

[PinkSkates]

I'm patiently waiting to get to WAIST LENGTH! In the meantime I'm enjoying the length that I have!

 

[Tee]

I'm going for full WL

Hey Ladies I dont know if this has already been posted b4, But I just want to know what is your Hair goal length and what are you doing to achieve it and through the process what things have you kept the same or what things have you change. List the following:

-Hair regimen:
-vitimans:
-protective styles:
-products:

My intention behind this poll is to hopefully get info and tips on haircare that can help myself as well as others .

Attached please find my goal for the summer.

Currently, I'm past brastrap. I don't know how full my hair looks or anything b/c I haven't blown out the roots all winter. I need about an inch or so trimmed IMO.

Regimen: Wash every other day to every three days. I'm alternating btwn
1) prepooing w/Amla oil and then using an ayurvedic tea rinse followed by a conditioner like Alter Ego's Energizing conditioner or like Suave's clarifying conditioner. Then, rollerset and air dry.
2) conditioner only washes. Rollerset & airdry.
and
3)shampoo, deep condition (either protein or moisturizing). Rollerset & airdry.

Vitamins:
Biotin
Fish Oil
Flax seed oil
MSM

Protective Styles:
Rollersetting is not a style but the end results are quite protective against split ends for some reason.
I usually pin my hair up or wear it in a bun. Every once in a while I will take the rollers out and put a headband on w/o blowing out the roots.

Products:
All the products mentioned in my regimen. Plus, Salerm 21 leave-in conditioner, Salerm Wheat Germ conditioner, Hask's henna and placenta, Aphogee's Treatment for Damaged hair, Nexxus Aloe Rid, Head and Shoulders 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner, Shikakai shampoo bar... ummm I think that's it.

-vitimans: multi, 5 mg Biotin, B-50 and 3 mg MSM
