Surprisingly I've been sticking to my hair regimen :). My new regimen consists of DC'ing 2-3 times/week and co-washing 1-2 times/week. I also incorporating baggying into my regimen. I have to say my hair is LOVING it!
Hair Changes:
- more manageable
- SIGNIFICANTLY less shedding
- almost no breakage (saw a strand today)
I recently clipped a little less than a 1/2 inch off my ends and my hair thanked me for it lol. Clipping my ends made my hair a lot easier to manipulate. I guess eliminating some of those scraggly ends minimized the possibility of them getting tangled on each other, which in turn reduced breakage. I plan on clipping my ends at least every other month or as needed so I doubt if I actually see much growth.
I tried Tresseme Naturals Conditioner on a co-wash day, it was decent but I think I like HairOne better because of the slip it provides. I think I'll switch off between the two on co-wash days.
I'm considering not wearing buns to sleep at night. That broken strand I saw today has me kinda freaked out lol. I just M&S and decided to comb my hair back as if I was going to put a bun in my hair but instead twisted it into one big twist and pinned it up. I can definitely notice the growth compared to back when I was consistently doing that.
I am still opting to use LIGHT heat on my hair (blow drying on cool setting and pressing) I am not as good as other ladies are when it comes to air drying while stretching past 2 months. I find that my hair sheds SOOOOO much while I'm air drying and it increases the chances of breakage...at least for my hair.
I have to admit, I haven't been COMPLETELY following my regimen lol I haven't had time to incorporate the black tea scalp rinse. It's just so much in-and-out the shower on DC days already as it is. Plus my shedding is not even an issue at this moment so I don't really see the need. I am still giving my hair light protein treatments weekly, either as a prepoo or adding a little to my DC. I haven't experienced any hard hair since my 1st and last protein overload :).
As for vitamins, I'm currently taking fish oil, vitamin C, biotin, garlic and iron supplements daily. I need to up my water intake smh lol if I ever remember to actually buy some lol.
