@Trixie58 I am using the Mizani Coconut Soufflé. It's GREAT and light enough for moisturizing daily. Also I occasionally use the H20 night time treatment when I need it but the Soufflé is a staple of mine
Here is my review for it on my youtube channel:

Girl I've been trying not to be a PJ for my wallet's sake but I am at the end of my NTM, Humectress, and UBH bottles. Guess I will be trying a new moisturizer
What do u use to seal (sorry if you said this already). I have EVCO, sweet almond oil, shea butter, and evoo in my stash.

Trixie58 haha sorry I'm feeding your PJ-ism, I'm guilty on wanting to try new stuff to
But I seal with Argan Oil (light and absorbs well) or Macadamia oil (medium, it's a little heavier than Argan but less than EVOO). Both smell amazing! Both do great on my hair!LaidBak, how do you trim your hair so evenly although it short. Any special technique you use to trim the back.
Thanks

No technique at all. I just use a mirror and some eyebrow scissors, and hope for the best.

I'm jealous. Your trims look great. I am posting trims pics for a trim I got yst'day. Wish I could dust my own ends!
apologies for the cross post for those on APL challenge also. Posting updates from Jan 2012, then before the trim this week, then after the trim yesterday. she definitely trimmed not dusted! it's a little shorter than what id like on the sides, but my ends were on their last toe. Now will just try to retain this and dust every 3 months, I think that's about the schedule i need.
Last nite threw on some NTM on my hair and sealed the ends with coconut oil.

I wanna try that stuff SO bad! Maybe when I run out of my Mizani, which will be about another month or so. Keep up the good work!!!

Hey ladies,
So my ends are looking good, but I think im getting "lead" hairs. It's weird because I dont have many split ends but certain parts are looking longer than others which gives a thin effect. Not sure if it's even anything to worry about because I have been keeping my ends moisturized and protected everyday. So I'm gonna leave it alone and continue babying them and we will see what happens

I'm doing pretty good! I'm focusing more on my ends and using various moisturizers and castor oil. 
Going to go in for a trim next month. With my fine hair... I need semi-regular trims or everything goes horribly awry.

Sealed my ends with HH Avocado Cloud. Yummy.
I'm super late to this challenge, but I've been slacking on my regimen for the past couple of months and my ends need help 
1. Are you relaxed, texlaxed, natural, transitioning, etc
Natural
2. Current Hair Length
WL
3. The issue(s) you are having with your ends
SSKs
4. What you have tried to improve your ends
I know what works, but I haven't been doing it
5. What you are going to try to get those healthy ends
DC at least twice a month, keep ends stretched, M&S daily, protein at least once a month,dusting at least every 8 weeks
I just dusted half my head. I need to find time to do the other half. I've been moisturizing with Shea Moisture and sealing with Crisco because my hair is straight right now. When my hair is curly I moisturize with a liquid leave in and seal with Crisco.
I used to use Castor oil in my leave in but I stopped because adding it took extra time. I need to go back to that though because it really helped keep my hair moisturized.
I also haven't been DCing like I should, and I haven't done a protein treatment in a few months.
I'll try to check in twice a week.

My hair has stayed very soft using the Tresemme naturals as a leave in. I have applied my sunflower/grapeseed oil mix to the bottom half of my twists.
Yesterday just to use up some product, I used up the rest of the SM Mist and applied TW Mist Bodifier to my twists and then sealed with teh sunflower/grapeseed oil.
I am cutting off SSKs and snagging ends as I find them.

I thought my hair was gonna suffer during this trip because I didn't have my usual products and oils and I just bought some travel sized garnier conditioner along with using the hotel conditioner...and my hair has felt great for these past 4 days I've been away. Moisturized, smooth, ends feel great. I'm happily surprised. I was worried a little. So hooray for that. Heading back home in a bit...plane should be boarding soon.
So yay to hair that doesn't suck

I finished my dusting/S&D. I've been moisturizing and sealing every night this week. My SSKs were mainly on the bottom 1/2 in. of the strand, so I guess it could be worse. I'm going to monitor my ends and dust again as needed instead of having a set schedule. I'll deep condition later this week and get my hair braided for next week.
ETA: I should say for the past 7 days since it's only Tuesday, lol.

I had to wash last night because my scalp was giving me problems. I shampooed and then DC'd overnight w/AOWC mixed w/HSR. I was seeing SSKs as I was detangling, but not many. I sealed my ends heavily w/Crisco and put in about 8 braids so hopefully that will keep my end stretched enough that they won't tangle.

Yeah...I need to wash, too...my hair feels great...moisturized, lubricated, smooth...but my scalp is itching up a storm. Ugh. Gonna wash on Friday, get back to my regular routine.
