DEF FEELING MY NEW THING...

So it's day 3 of following my adjusted regimen and I have to say I LOVE IT!!!!! I started LIGHTLY pressing my hair in four sections...and when i say "lightly" i def mean exactly that lol. I part my hair in four sections after letting air dry most of the way then blow drying on cool setting...I then apply a generous amount of leave-in & heat protectant. I use Satin Press to help but just a little :). The pressing comb is warm, NOT hot...I run it through my four sections and thats it! My hair is retaining moisture WAAAAAAAY better, experiencing significantly less shedding and my hair is so much more manageable. :). I think this is the break through I was looking for! I don't plan on going overboard though...especially since I'm in the habit of avoiding heat but I will be doing this once a week. I'll be posting pics every 2 wks of my progress :).

NEW YEARS EVE 2013, 1ST WIG...

PROGRESS...TWO YEAR HAIR JOURNEY ANNIVERSARY

Mainly apologizing to myself...I haven't posted in a LOOOOONG time and more importantly, i've bn slacking in my regime. I've been extremely busy lately, pulling on average 15hrs/day at wrk...so you can imagine I never really feel like messing with my hair, ESPECIALLY my 4 months post relaxer hair lol.

So someone (not saying any names) said my hair was looking rough...like Ceily lmao! I agree... I was having a lot of trouble managing my transitioning hair...was still experiencing shedding, couldn't keep it moisturized, itched a lot, and even saw a couple of BROKEN hairs! I had completely stopped using heat on my hair except for the occasional use of steam rollers and I hadn't used those for over 2 months. I decided to air dry my hair to 80%, blow dry using cool setting and LIGHTLY straighten my hair usinga pressing comb. I knooooooow...lol but believe me, I didn't come to that decision easily. I didn't completely straighten it though...parted my hair and ran a WARM pressing comb thru four sections. I made sure I didn't do any other damage by using Satin Press and a heat protectant. I gotta say :) I'm LOVING the outcome...makes it sooooo much easier to manage every day and it's retaining moisture better!

Still using my supplements and gained a TON of new growth but still too soon to attribute that to the pills. I started adding garlic in my shampoo and I after two washes I think it's safe to say that it slowed down my shedding :) both during a wash AND with daily manipulation.

So here's a couple pics from the latest wash on 21 Jan 13...
