You all seem really nice so I thought I could ask you all from some help concerning my hair.
I'm maddy, I'm 16, I'm relaxed, my hair is shoulder length and since early this year I vow to take care of my hair, not better but ANY care. I'm known as the type who doesn't know a thing about caring for my type of hair and I always depended on a stylist to do it for me. I'm surprised I'm not bald. I would just let it go dry for days and days because I was scared to do anything with it. Everything I tried people said I shouldn't do so I just left it alone. I would like to change all of that so after surfing around these forums for a bit I put together this regimen list on stuff I will start doing. I would really appreciate it if some of you would read it and give out suggestions and point out anything that's not quite right, I will GREATLY appreciate this!
·[FONT="]I will relax my hair only 11 to 14 weeks at a time[/FONT]
·[FONT="]I will DC w/ Miss Key’s 10 en 1 or my concoction of Lekair Aloe Vera mixed with a tsp of Cayenne Pepper, a tbsp of coconut oil, EVOO, and Jamaican Castor Oil every Wednesday and Thursday.[/FONT]
·[FONT="]I will CO-wash every time I DC and weekend that I don’t go to the stylist.[/FONT]
·[FONT="]I will do a Protein Treatment w/ either Palmers Coconut Protein pack or Nexxus Emergencee Restorative Conditioner every month or 5 days before my upcoming perm.[/FONT]
·[FONT="]I will “scritch” or massage my hair 3x a week, with my Shower comb.[/FONT]
·[FONT="]I will only comb my hair only 2 times a day; no more, maybe less[/FONT]
·[FONT="]I WILL eat a spoonful of Coconut oil, plain or mixed in.[/FONT]
·[FONT="]I will continue to take my Fish Oil and Iron, and will add Biotin[/FONT]
·[FONT="]I WILL drink half a gallon of water EVERYDAY, distilled or spring.[/FONT]
·[FONT="]I will only use heat when I go to the stylist.[/FONT]
·[FONT="]I will always protective style[/FONT]
·[FONT="]Moisturize twice a day with one of the great products I have, first thing when I wake up (unless I plan on washing my hair) and before I go to sleep. I will also seal with an oil such as EVOO and coconut oil[/FONT]
·[FONT="]I will always think positive about my hair.[/FONT]
I also have a few questions. Do any of you ladies using any type of scalp moisturizer to prevent scalp dryness? I have a bad itching problem and I am just done with petroleum and mineral oil products because they did nothing stunt my progress of my hair growth. My other question is I'm a ROUGH sleeper, I put on a satin bonnet and the next morning its off on the floor. I've read that friction between hair and the pillowcase can break it off. Does anyone else have the same problem and if so did you ever find a solution for this? and my last question, I hope this isn't asking much, I was wondering if some of you could post your regimens on here so I can get a better idea of what I can do.
Most you have such beautiful hair, and your progress is so amazing. I would really love some advice or words of wisdom. Once again, thank you!
