I had a very short transition, bc I had no tolerance for dealing with the 2 textures. Now I'm on the grow. My ultimate goal is armpit - length hair from a braid out. It will probably take 3 yrs if not more depending on what happens, but I'm in the fight to get it there.

My New and Improved Regime to date: (updated 10-18-09)

I have been taking Nourish Hair Vitamins from GNC and a Women's Daily Vitamin

I bought a shower filter head to rid myself of the hard water here.

I lowered the amt of products I use, and besides Elucence MB, and hair butters that I use to seal my ends I only use products that can be bought in local stores.

Right now Conditioners: HE Totally Twisted, Suave Naturals Aloe and WaterLilly, LustraSilk Cholesterol +Mango+Shea, Aubrey Organics Jojoba Oil and Desert Aloe, Aubery Organics White Camilla, Elucence MB, Giovanni Direct Leave-In, Aubrey Organics GPB (if I need protein), SheaMoisture Leave-In

Poo: Diluted Dr. Bronner's Castille Soap in Lavender, or Aubrey Organics Island Naturals

Treatments: Henna and Alma

Styling: I just style with Conditioner now using Teri's Method.

I DT frequently 1x a week or every 2 weeks. I steam all my hair treatments and DT with the hair steamer from salons r us.

Now that my hair has gotten longer I wash, condition, DT etc... with hair in braids or twists. I keep my hair stretched out slightly so that I do not get knots, tangles, and matting.

For the Fall and Winter. I'm going to try to keep my hair in twists 75% of the time to retain growth and moisture in the cold weather.
