Do not touch hair apart from moisturising and washing etc
Moisturise 1x week
DC 1x week
Wash 1x every 2 weeks
Protein as needed
Dust every 2months or so.

Diet is good.

I see you do protein when needed. When was the last time u did a protein treatment? And u moisturize once a week? Does ur hair feel dry in between? I only moisturize 2x a week, but my hair doesn't feel dry in between that time. Can u list the products u use. Are u getting breakage? If so, is it a snap then break? If so u need moisture. If its a breakage that u pull then it breaks, then u need protein ( please please correct me if I am wrong ladies)

shortdub78 I would get in touch, they may not be aware there is a problem and at least it gives them a chance put it right sooner rather than later when you're all out of patience. As a first time customer, they'll want your experience to be delightful to ensure you come back. I hope you get it sorted soon, can't wait for your reviews, I've been looking at this line for a while, There's a lot of great reviews about it.
 
hey ladies, it's 5am and i just checked the website and email. it has been shipped, so hopefully i will get it some time next week. i will do a wash review and then i will use the products for a week to see how my hair likes them.
 
Good morning!!! Im super excited because im on my way to NOLA to start my vacay. Tomorrow its on the ship I go!! Nothing fancy done to my hair its in a high bun for now. Will check back with you ladies later.

Did you order during a sale? If so, that may be why. Her products are excellent. It will be worth it :yep: Matter fact, I just ran out of VS and I will reorder soon.

So I did a quick nape length check with my measuring tape and it seems I'm 1" away from BSL, which is 11" on me. I will do pics with the length check shirt and all that during the end of month check in. Hopefully I will have that last inch by September *cough*August*cough*

At least I'm making slow but steady progress. :)

i didn't see anything on sale and i ordered way after mother's day. hope they are good and don't be all hyped up like WEN.
 
Finally washed my hair after almost 2 weeks :look:. Hoping this style holds up until I get my Havana twists on Sunday

Products used - Nairobi foam wrap to set the style and a little EcoStyler gel for the edges

I last took my vitamins on Thursday:sad:. I will start again tomorrow. Well i did my second flat iron today in my 3years two months and 2 days of being natural. I did a small length check 1/4 way through the process but since my hair reverts in seconds i don't have pics of my whole head.

Yes i know i should not be using heat :nono: but i really needed to cheat today. See pic below. I'm closer to BSL than i thought:dance7:.

Does anyone here use Joico products?
Click to expand...
I use Joico Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm. It is fantastic I deep condition with it and then detangle. The comb slides right through like a knife through butter. I usually mix it with a good cheapie, like an Organix deep conditioner, just so it lasts a bit longer since it's pricey. It smells nice too.

SUNSHINE BABY You're a fingertip away, I bet you'll be there by the next time you use heat!!

I swear by Joico Moisture Recovery Balm. I have fine, low density hair but I still prefer it. I usually add other things to it which makes my hair super moist but its fantastic alone too.

laylaaa I sure hope its not another 3 years two months and two days before i do, maybe i will build up the courage to do so at least 2X per year. Once i get my regimen down pat along with becoming more educated on the proper techniques for flat ironing and hair care.

Yep i'm still learning.
 
Quite sad today.......had to let go of half an inch of my hair. I'm about 6 weeks post relaxer and stretching for 12-16 weeks. Noticed my hairs been tangling of recent and I put it down to split ends. It was making my ends look real rough as well. So I went to the salon to rollerset my hair. I had the Stylist dust off the split ends for me.
The good part is my hair looks healthier and I'll know by my next wash if it did any good.
In the meantime, I have to learn how to rollerset my hair myself and I intend to buy rollers for my hair as I don't like how my hair was combed at the salon. I guess I shall look up YouTube.
I really shouldn't feel down as we all say 'healthy hair over length' but arrrrrgggghhhhh!!! I am so upset? Need to grow 2 inches in a month! Any advice?
