the Lekair, i knew was a protein but i thought it was a moisturising poo...Hi there Scarcity,
I just wanted to provide a few quick tips:
1) I used to get those darn knots in my hair and my hair also EASILY locks if I am not careful. It sounds like your hair could really use a lot of moisture. I recommend Shea Moisture Leave In (this is THE BEST leave in I have ever ever used...it will leave your hair super soft and moisturized and prevent those knots)
Thanks gurl, what does it look like?
2) Only comb your hair when soaked with conditioner and use your fingers first and then a wide tooth or a Denman brush.
3) Also I agree that you should definitely watch your diet. Eat foods rich in iron instead of taking so many pills. That will keep you from getting constipated.
I m taking the pills bcos my doctor prescribed them and they want to check my blood in 3 months...Im going next month, so Im praying and hoping it went up so I can stop taking the supplement and just eat iron rich foods...as of now, Ill take the supps and eat iron rich food too
4) I recommend No Poo shampoo by Deva Curl, Creme of Nature Ultra Moisturze Shampoo and / or doing conditioner washes. I recommend condition washing with a moisturizing conditioner at least once or twice a week. You may be getting too much protein.
where can u get the deva curl from? what color is the CON moist poo? they have so many out there its confusing...Actually CON was the reason i cut down pooing to once every 3-4 months...i had just gotten outta braids and i used the green CON and major setback...dreds...masive tangles...i know it was prob a combination of not detangling but it scared me silly cos it happened twice b4 i decided to stop the foolishness... what condish do u recommend for cowashes?
5) If you eat a lot of sugar, cut it drastically and replace with sweat fruits, yogurt and other substitutes that still give you your fix without being unhealthy. I am finding that sugar may actually stunt hair growth.
I hope these tips help.

Wow, thanks for your all your suggestions....I still have to check out ur blog
Do u recommend using the egg and aloe vera bcos of the breakage/shedding? My hair is protein senstive but i think i need a protein treatment due to the shedding/ breaking.
Is this pomade supposed to be for my bald spots?
It works like a dream and I have been using this for about 2 years now. It is a humectant so also draws moisture to your hair. One of my friends has just been using it for the last 3 or 4 months and she loves it. Also she just relaxed her hair last week after a 14 month stretch. She said that the hair does not feel dry at all as the rosewater is so moisturising. Some people add vegetaable glycerin to theirs but I find it works fine on its own
can u Pm what kinda half wig u use? also what do u use to cowash and what u use to seal in the moisture afterwards?
yea Mook, i didnt realize M&T had protein in it....i thought it was a moist condish and i would always mix it with EVOO too
Do u order ur SAA from lotioncrafters.com? in regards to the ORS, do u mean the replenish paks?
Thank you so much for the tips
) It would seem like they were working good at first but then my hair felt coated and dry. Now that I think about it the mineral oil did the same thing. My hair would feel fine at first with the product and then maybe the next day or so it was dry like my hair sucked it all up. My dcs weren't getting through either. 
i have been natural for 4yrs now and it seems like my hair is at a standstill, i need help creating a regimen that will create visible results.
I DC once a week with either lekair cholesterol or mane and tail condish +nexxuse ensure+EVOO. I poo once every 3-4 months, dust every 4 months or so, have only straightened twice (last flat iron was 12/2007). After DCing, i 2 strand twist with moisturising gel and scurl spray, leave the twists in for 3-4 days and wear a twist out for 2-3 days, repeat the whole cycle.
For the last 2 months, i did notice an increase in shedding/breaking, so I did an emergence last month....followed by a moist DC. still some shedding evident.
The middle nape that Im always writing about (W-shape) doesnt seem to be improving, so when I wear a twist out, I have to apply moisture/water to left and right nape areas( about 8 inches but shrinks to 3 inches) inorder to shrink the hair there to blend in with the shorter middle nape(2-3 inches).
I used to be in micros (leave in 4-6 weeks) for the past 2-3 yrs and it helped me retain growth, but the last 2 times I did it last year june and september...I noticed bald spots( Not sure what caused it but i suspected it was keratin protein, I was using VS so sexy condish that had Keratin protein, but would leave in without washing out) .This is the reason I decided not to do braids this whole year...( cos im not certain of the cause of the bald spots, the VS condish is just a guess) Im trying...dont know if Ill be able to do it....now im thinking about doing a weave....i do not know what to do
My hair is not long enough to bun without adding phony pony....Itried using a phony pony for a couple months earlier this year but I got tired of it.
I love Aubrey Organics GBP once a month as a light protein treatment and have been using it since 2005. Recently I had a tiny spot of breakage in my crown and I used Aubrey Organics Blue Green Algae Hair Rescue Mask and it was fabulous but still left my hair feeling soft. I plan to use this 2 or 3 times a year.
thanks but how can i wear my hair when i go out on the weekends? i guess i may have to invest in a wig (which i dont like but will if i have to)
i try to detangle gently but sometimes i do notice little knots on the ends
