HAIR update!

Howdy!!! Well, it seems as if my hair is starting to grow more. At first, I began to get a little discouraged because I felt as if it was at a MAJOR standstill. I was once told that taking progress pictures of how your hair looks before, during, & after a haircare challenge or regime does wonders, and I have found that to be true. My current hair regime consists of:
  • Washing/Co-washing my hair at least once a week with Desire More Naturals Black Soap Shampoo or any conditioner I have on hand. Currently, I am conditioning my hair with Avon Naturals Almond & Avocado moisturizing conditioner for dry/damaged hair, sold by my Avon representative & I LOVE it! I purchased two, 33.8 oz. bottles for only $4.99 each. I'm not sure if they still have that sale going on for the bigger bottles though. I normally let the conditioner sit on my head for at least an hour.
  • I then proceed to rinse it out & use a leave in conditioner/moisturizer on my hair. Currently, I am alternating between Aphogee's Balancing Moisturizer and Lisa Rachel's Conditioner/Cleanser with Olive & Aloe (the generic version of theWEN by Chaz Dean product.)
  • After moisturizing with a water-based product (the first ingredient will be water/aqua), I seal in the moisture with any hair oil I have on hand. The majority of the time, I use Desire More Naturals SONshine Hair Growth Oil.
  • I then proceed to twist my hair all over in about 7-9 big twists & let them airdry overnight. I sleep with a satin bonnet on every night. Whether I take my twists down or not the next day, I usually try to give myself a scalp massage to stimulate growth, & re-moisturize my hair every night. (I haven't been doing a good job with that lately, lol.). 
But thats it! I also take BIOTIN vitamins for healthy skin, hair, & nails to encourage growth as well. Below are my hair comparison pics from January & March. I have the same exact hairstyle, & you can tell juuuuust a little that it is fuller & a tad bit longer. I pray it continues to grow. I plan to straighten my hair for my 1 year Natural Anniversary at the end of May :-)

  2. LOL! Michelle, well the colors certainly speak for themselves about my personality! I love bright, bold, and loud colors paired with a dark color, hence the black! But thanks for the compliment. The texture gets on my nerves sometimes, but I will be glad when it grows out a bit more :-)
