I have to thank LHCF and the ladies here that gave out such a wealth of information and support that encouraged me to grow my hair and get it healthy, I was discouraged at first but I decided to get a wash and set today and see where my length is at now. I last had a relaxer Jan 14th and im waiting until April for my next one. I dont have a fotki or anything so im sharing on here.:blowkiss:
The dates of the pictures
The first one October 16, 2008 and Feb 24, 2009
ETA: Reggie
Honestly K.I.S.S.
and i mean keep it simple simple
Herbal Essence Hello Hydration or Tresseme Co wash 2's a week
NTM Silk Touch as my leave in then Garnier Frutics serum and roller set.
Moisturize as needed with Aloe Vera Juice,Glycerin and bottled water. Its all mixed and ready in a spray bottle.
I steam with samanthajones steaming method...WHILE I DC with LeKair Cholesterol and i always add EVOO, or V05 conditioner under the dryer for 30 and then wash and rollerset or air dry.
I trim once a year in Dec...otherwise its S&D (search and destroy)
I just went from No lye to Lye...What a diffrence!!!
i texlax now also Stretch 8 - 10 weeks...I'm going for longer this time
Go the dominicans 'round my way during stretching because they blow out my roots so well .
I stopped flatironing. That crap broke my hair (see first pic)
Vitamin
I take..
Puritans Pride Prenatal (my hair grew a bit faster once i started this due to a friends recommendation)
Nordic Naturals Complete Omega-3,6,9
Puritans Pride Alpha Lipoic Acid 300 mg
Puritans Pride L-Lysine 500 mg
Store brand - MSM 1000 mg
I take 1 - 2 of each everyday except the Prenatal...that always remains once a day.
The ALA has the insomniac effect on me so I have to take that early (before 4pm) and i make sure to drink at least two Poland spring bottles of water so it helps. My skin never looked better seriously. If you look back and see my threads about how bad i had acne and now....GONE NOT ONE PIMPLE. and i got the pictures to prove it. The ALA is fading those scars...of course with loads of water.
