AMAZING PROGRESS!!! i smell an upcoming FEATURE OF THE MONTH right here!!! auuuughhhh what is your regimen?!?! please share specifics immediately!!!

At the moment (and for the last year now) I don't really have a strict regimen but without fail I stick to protective styling, wear a satin cap or scarf to bed and moisturize and seal 3 to 4 times a week with ORS Carrot Oil and Pure Coconut Oil. I still baggy regularly.

I don't deep condition weekly like I used to. I MAY dc every couple of months with ORS Hair Mayo.

I finger-comb most of the time and try to use heat no less than every 3 months.

As I wear wigs as my protective style, my hair is always in plaits unless I'm washing/conditioning my hair.

I used to do A LOT of things for the first 5/6 months that I started to take care of my hair including

• washing with Ayurvedic powders twice a week
• deep conditioning with hair mayonnaise twice a week
• vitamins... Biotin, Silica, Vitamin B, Flaxseed Oil, Multivitamins
• daily scalp massages
• weekly hot oil treatments with Ayurvedic and Aromatherapy oils

Check my fotki for more...

The only reason why I've stopped doing all this is because I don't have the time anymore (no thanks to my job) and because I work day and night shifts, the whole vitamins thing was not working @ all.

I think that I would have seen even more progress if I had stuck to my regimen.

Incredible! Congratulations, your growth is truly inspirational!!

 

[MrsHdrLe]

Excellent growth and shine. I'm loving it!

 

[cmbodley]

your hair is beautiful

 

[rben]

Beautiful! You have done really well. I started my transition in October 08 as well

 

[andromeda]

Excellent progress - truly amazing! Between a steady regimen and ayurveda, you'll achieve your desired thickness in no time. I'm transitioning as well and have been wearing a half wig for almost a month now so your progress is very inspiring.

Continued success on your hair journey!

 

[dachsies_rule!]

Wow, that's some excellent growth. I'm jealous LOL...if my hair grew like that i could be WL by early next year.

Congrats!

 

[ellehair]

Thanks - I was stalking out this thread waiting for you to get back in here and share your regimen, lol'Simplicity has really worked in your favor

 

[DDTexlaxed]

Good job!

 

[hairdrama:{]

Awesome progress! you did a great job.....

 

[tocktick]

Although I'm very impressed with your progression in length, the turnaround in health is what I find really remarkable! Well done

 

[DaPPeR]

Ur beginning pics, would be now.Trus inspiration.Your progress is beautiful!

 

[Aggie]

Wow, I am impressed Vesta. My hair grew very long wearing only wigs as a protective style a while back. I think I will go back to this for a while. I remember that I washed my hair only once every 2-3 weeks back then too. Hmmm, I think I need to do this again. Why do we stop doing what worked for us in the past?

I will officially start this new regimen this month seeing that I started the month with wigs as my protective style anyway. I'll need to take a starting pic and post it in my fotki album. I'm 7 months into my relaxer stretch and haven't taken a pic of the new growth as yet so I'll be killing 2 birds with one stone I guess.

 

[melodies815]
