your hair is so healthy and looks strong. Girl, do tell, what do you do to get hair and maintain hair like that????

I deep condition and rollersetwith each wash. I make sure that at night I add a dab of oil to my hair before placing the satin rollers on the hair.
I think being consistent with this has helped, alot.

 

[PacificPurinsesu]

Beautiful, just beautiful!!!

What is your hair type???

I have no idea. I think maybe a 4a. I have some new growth pictures in my albums. I know no matter your hair type that everyone can have healthy hair. The biggest thing is finding things that work and sticking with them! just like the myth that we can't have long hair and this board is full of women with long hair.

My regi is
I wash my hair every 4 days. ( faithfully). I use any moisturizing shampoo's like Kera Care, kenra and cream of nature. I only shampoo my scalp, not my hair, always.
I then squeeze out the water instead of toweling blotting.
I apply any conditioners that are super moiturizing like kera care Humecto, kera MC or motions silk. On the hair, not the scalp!
I sit under the dryer for 30 minutes. Let my hair cool and rinse in the shower,
I then as I rinse add a little cheapie conditioner and let it sit for 2 minutes and detangle with a detangling comb. ( I use the flow of the shower water to assist in the detangling process, works great!)
I rinse finally with cold water and squeeze all the water out.
I apply my detangler, i use pantene and comb through. At this point I have no tangles and add my leave in. I use a tiny bit of aveda elixir or salerm.
I then lightly apply oil. I usually use jojoba or camelia oil.
I set my hair with water. ( thanks http://healthytextures.typepad.com/) for the dvd tutorial.
i go under the dryer for about 1 hour and tie a silk scarf over my hair for bed. I apply a little oil to the ends and put satin covered foam rollers that I got ( goody brand) .
In the morning take the rollers out and lightly comb and clip up with a claw clip.
I use protien every 6- 8 weeks. I use aphogee 2 min. My hair does not like too much protien.
Thanks!
Alia.

I use vitale mo body, which is a lye relaxer.

How long have you been using it? I'm weighing options of a possible relaxer as I'm a natural, and I am debating on the types of relaxer too.
