Hello everybody!

My name is TJ and I am looking for some help in growing my hair out. I've always wanted my hair to return to where it was when I was a little girl and I have now seen that it can be done. I am definitely a product junkie to the extreme! I'd also like to send out a request to anyone who can offer me advice about my very thin edges. It is hereditary, I believe, but I am trying desperately to overcome this problem without much success.

I currently have relaxed 3c, 4a and 4b hair. I am planning to use Affirm for sensitive scalp relaxer every 3-5 months for the next year or two. just cut it all off into a bob to let the front and edges get longer because the back of my hair grows a lot faster than the front.

I wash my hair every 7 to 10 days and haven't developed a regime yet due to my addiction to trying new products, but I do have a few favorites that I try to keep in rotation:

I soak my hair in a conditioner mix with garlic elixir and seal with Hairveda Cocasta oil or coconut oil for 1-4 hours before I shampoo.

I also cowash with Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Conditioner, Hairveda Sitrinillah Conditioner, or Herbal Essence conditioning line with added garlic oil.

Shampoo:
-Amala Shampoo by Hairveda (to clarify)
-Therappe by Nexxus
-Creme of Nature
-Organics Olive Oil Shampoo
-Nu-Gro Shampoo
-Redken Smooth Down Shampoo

Conditioners:
-Hairveda SitriNillah conditioner
-NuExpressions Super 10/10 in 1 Conditioner
-Humectress by Nexxus
-Redken Smooth Down Butter Treat Conditioner
-Avanti Silicone Mix
-Any Conditioner containing garlic

Leave-In Conditioners:
-Organics Olive Oil Leave-In conditioner
-Hawaiian Silky Miracle Worker, 14 in 1
-Victoria's Secret So Sexy Nourishing Conditioner
-Victoria's Secret So Sexy Leave-In Spray Cond.
-Neutrogena Triple Moisture Leave In
-Nairobi Soft Finsh Leave-In Cond.

Oils and Moisturizers:
-Hairveda CoCasta Oil
-Hairveda Avacoco Oil
-Hairveda Whipped Baggie Cream
-Hairveda Whipped SheaAloe
-Pure Shea Butter
-Rose Water mixed with Aloe Vera Juice or Gel
-Coconut oil from Coastal Scents

I also take 4 vitamin supplements that I really love:

Mega Vitamins for the Hair by Vitamin World (Vegetarian formula)
-When I forget to take these for a while and start back, people ask me what have I done to my hair. I guess they really make a difference. They make your urine turn "highlighter yellow". The instructions say 3 a day, but I only take 2, one in the morning and one before bed. I can honestly say that I do see a difference in my hair when I take these faithfully.

MSM, 1000mg or more (from Walmart).
-Good for the hair and joints. (I have some arthritis starting up)

Amino Complex from Vitamin World
-Amino acids are a crucial building block for protein.

Flax Seed Oil Pills
-Good for skin and the circulation.

I got my maxiglide package 4 from maxiusbeauty.com and it ran me $144.91 for the following:

*Maxiglide
*Maxiglide Mini
*Maxesse Shampoo, 12oz
*Maxesse Conditioner, 8oz
*Beyond Straight temp straightener, 8oz
*The End silicone shine serum, 1oz
*Maxius detangling brush
*2 Adjust-A-Curl rollers
*Travel Bag (great size for suitcase)
*Styling tip dvd

They let me do a 3 month payment plan, which is great so I can hide this from my hubby! My initial payment was $58.27, and I have 2 payments of $43.32 left. I am getting ready to register it at the website now.

In my opinion, the Maxiglide works better when I have at least 1 inch of new growth. I haven't used it in a while since I've gone to a shorter length.
