I decided to grow out my hair instead of just weaving it upp and forgetting about it. I still plan on weaving my hair until I get to armpit length at leeeast. Then I will only weave for variety. I've learned how to take better care of my hair underneath the weave to prevent breakage and to start retaining length. I also plan on calming down my scissor-happy ways (lol) so I can actually start retaining length. I would always cut my hair because I like the bluntness but now I'm gonna reduce it to trimming it every other time I relax or every third relaxer.I hope to become an inspiration for someone one day and show them that it CAN be done. My journey begins!

Hair Type: 4b Relaxed
Current Length: SL (Shoulder Length)--[reached 01.09]
Short-term Goal: APL by June 2009 (Armpit Length)
Long-term Goal: MBL by September 2010 (Midback Length)

Regimen:

While in weaves:

--Oil scalp every other day with Vitale Extra Virgin Olive Oil
--Spray braids underneath the weave with S-Curl moisturizer
--Wash hair while still in the weave every 2 weeks with diluted CON (green label) and condition with diluted conditioner (either ORS or a cheap conditioner).
--After washing proceed with oiling and moisturizing

Without weave:

--Deep condition hair with ORS Hair Mayo (with or without an egg depending on condition of my hair) and follow with ORS Replenishing Conditioner--this would be done every week
--Wash hair once a week with CON and apply leave in (either Motions or Infusium) and seal with Vitale Oil
--If I don't feel like washing at least co-wash with a cheap conditioner.

Supplements:

Biosil for skin, nails, and bones (10 drops daily)

This is my regimen as of Nov.08; not complicated at all. I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible; no jumping on every new product discussed!
