Okay, I was in the hide your hair challenge so I didn't post pix for everyone to see my progress. I decided to stretch as long as I could and relax my hair right befor Christmas. Let's say that was the wrong thing to do. I stretched for a total of 12 weeks and I lost a lot of hair. If you look at the pix from Sept then look at Dec you will see the ends are broken and my hair has thinned out a bit. This is what I have decided to do:
relax every 6 to 8 weeks max
with Silk Elements regular
Shampoo once a week using a prepoo and deep condition
Oil scalp every other day
Moisturize everyday
Protein treatment once a month
I will start wearing my hair down more often. I was bunning 99% of the time, but I am going to keep my end clipped and start wrapping and wearing out more often.
I will update with products used later.
On Christmas I had my hair highlited and rinsed. I have decided to use Cantu products. They have shea butter in them so it will help retain moisture. I also got a trim so my hair looks a lot better now.
I took the braids out after a week. I couldn't stand the way the tugged on my hair. When I took them down there was a lot of shedding too. I'm not very pleased with that at all. I am still following the same regimen. No MSM on scalp, but I am trying the cayenne pepper oil the night before a wash be it co or weekly pooing
On Saturday August 19 I did my braids. Not using anything on scalp. I am only taking MSM by mouth and Biotin. I plan on keeping braids for about one month. I really don't care for them. To much hair. Weave really isn't for me anymore. Once braids are out I will continue with my most recent regimen.
Starting Sunday (August 13) My regimen will change slightly:
I will no longer use MTG I will be using a MSM mix.
Every morning I will moisturize, seal, and bun
Each night I will apply the oil mix, mositurize, and seal
I will be using the baggie method at night. (sleeping in a plasic cap)
MSM will be add to all hair products
I will be taking 3000mcg of biotin and 1/2 tsp of powdered MSM by mouth.
