Just starting to LOVE my hair.. Ive been wearing weaves so long, i forgot what my REAL hair looks like. I started my fotki to document my hair journey.. Im a memeber of LHCF www.longhaircareforum.com The BEST site for black hair.. I finallly found out that YES, African Amercian women can have LONG REAL hair..

My hair is 4a, tightly coil- Size of a coffee straw, fine stands medium density.

I just started my journey on 10/09 cbl
2/10 b/w - Sl/Apl
1st goal - APL 10/10? (Made it: 8/ 2010)

3rd goal - WL- ?

10/09 My current reggie is: half wig protectant style.
co wash weekly
clarify w/ acv & BS monthly
D/C weekly
prepoo/ hot oil treatment weekly.
Moisturize daily and seal w/ coconut, vatika oil, amla and evoo oils
NO HEAT, NO MANIPULATION, ONLY COMB ON WASH DAYS
Hiding my hair until 3/15/11- My B-day

2/24/10 Update-- Im starting to baggy whole head every night. -I spray my ends w/ water and seal w/ coconut oil and evoo
I braid my hair in individuals braids and wear my satin cap under my half wig to protect ends during the day.

I no longer use 1/2 wig protective style. I wear my hair all the time, Unless im going to vaca- i put a weave in
I only co-wash 1-2x a week now. Baggy as needed.
I no longer wash in braids- I pre-part in 4 sections and wash and detangle in shower (by sections)
I moisturize and seal daily
deep cond weekly and poo every 2-3 weeks.

Still LOW manipulation- Only combing on wash days.

I am still going strong..retaining length
I have simplified my reggie even more
