That alter ego conditioner I ordered is the BOMB!
I am definitely noticing less shedding this week. I think I will have to do my hair tomorrow or Friday because I am co-hosting a baby shower for a co-worker on Saturday and I know I will be POOPED!
I'm just rocking my bun this week with assorted flowers and pins...

how does the Alter Ego conditioner feel? is it a treatment, or a moisturizing conditioner?
Click to expand...

it is very slippery I was surprised...and moisturizing...at least to me. But my hair felt strong afterwards. It has garlic in it. I need to get the ingredients BRB.
Overall I am in LOVE with it. I will use it as my weekly dc while I'm trying to combat this shedding!

Here are the ingredients:
I'm not good at deciphering. But I really did love it on my hair. My hair was smooth and super easy to detangle and I noticed less hairs lost. We shall see in the long run.

Yes, very creamy, but kind of loose...if you turned the jar upside down it would fall out...and it almost kind of melted into my hair...I massaged it in and it felt so lovely in my hair I was excited.... And the tub I got is HUGE so I will be using it faithfully.

crlsweetie912 do you apply it to your scalp only per the instructions or your length? I've had mine and I'm almost finished with it but I only do a scalp treatment and use my staple DC on my length.

Been taking prenatal for 3 months and I just started taking msm for joint and read that it helps your hair so I said why not. I bought a bottle of the mineral rich but didnt start it again. I take my vitamins either before I eat or after so I dont forget to take them so I been doing good.

I used to take Nioxin back in the day and got good results but they are kind of expensive. I can't take biotin because it breaks me out really badly. Investigating new vitamins....any suggestions?

I used to take them too and loved them,but stopped taking them once they jacked the prices up. I know ladies are taking Viviscal and Hairfinity,but they seem pretty pricey too.

Viviscal is pricey but if it works, it'll be worth it. I'm coming up on my 3rd month of use, Viviscal says to give it at least four months of continued use. I was taking Nioxin and they gave me great results but then they got stupid and discontinued and then lied about returning them to the shelves. I wouldn't buy from those disloyal liars again if they were $5 :naughty::evil::nuts::whip:

I feel you @Lurkee in theory, there is nothing wrong with my hair: it's growing, I take care of it and the ends are good, but in reality? I hate even seeing it, I'm just disappointed in my little strands :nono:

don't feel like that. You have really nice and thick hair. :yep:
Click to expand...

Thanks, I know I shouldn't but...I do. I have hair dysmorphia, no lie.

Cornrows are shorter because your hair is wound and wound to make the plaits. I wouldn't worry about the length in the cornrow :yep:. On the other hand, you need to practice DIY, you paid about $4 per cornrow. :blush:

Thanks Lurkee and I know, it was A LOT. I had no idea it was going to be that much, but believe it or not, that was on the lower end. People wanted $40-$60 once they realized I actually had hair (and lots of it :sad:) I really want to learn to do it myself, but practicing is A LOT of manipulation and it causes breakage.

i was taking One A Day until i had to start taking prenatals. other than that, i don't taking any for hair growth. didn't believe if they really worked and i am so not good with taking pills.

Sure do!

I take: EFAs, biotin, bamboo silica, B-12, and a regular multi-vitamin. Used to take MSM but it bothered my stomach :nono:

Wow. maybe practice on a toy or something. DIY really saves a lot of money. It costs £50 for braids with extensions and that is something I do not want to do myself. The person did a good job though and your hair is lush.

KiWiStyle, your siggy is very nice. You guys all have lush hair. May I have some?
