UneekDiva - Who Gon Check Me Boo? LOL

I've finally decided to attempt to take excellent care of my hair. I am currently 100% natural. In the past I have had relaxers, color and at one point even a texturizer. This is my second time being natural and I am enjoying it now more than ever. My ultimate goal is long, healthy hair with heavy emphasis on the healthy hair part. There are a ton of relaxed and texlaxed ladies that have beautiful hair and for me, being natural is what works for me right now. Every individual has the right to do with their hair what they please so do not think I am a hair nazi of any sort. I love all types of hair!

If you are in the following areas, please let me know where you purchase hair/skin/body products - especially black castor oil, essential oils, giovanni products, elucence, raw shea and cocoa butter, alma products, Indian and African products: Las Vegas, Hawaii, Atlanta (and surrounding areas), Orange County or Florida. Thanks :o)

One hair problemo I would love suggestions on is how to get my crown (edges/bangs) to grow. They have broken off from all the tight pony tails, drying my hair with a towel and sleeping with my head unprotected (yeah I know... HORRRRIBLE) off and on.I have since stopped most of these bad habits except the pony tails LOL but I do wear looser pony tails now. So if you have suggestions, please send me a message! Thanks!

I am very interested in natural products and remedies. If you have natural skin, hair, health, wellness, body, etc. products, techniques, etc. that you'd like to share - feel free to let me know! Also RAW, Vegan and/or vegetarian recipes, books, information and websites.

You can find my hair background & regimen in my journals section. You can also check my hair journal website which is rarely updated unfortunately http://uneekdiva.livejournal.com

~~~~ Goal ~~~~
Thick, healthy, shiny, HWL (High Waist Length) hair

The first time I was natural I just chopped all my ends off and didn't even know there was a method called "transitioning" that women did. I just wanted to see what my real hair was like without chemicals in it.

This time around I transitioned for about 2 years, trimming every couple of months so I could keep my length until all of the texturized ends were gone.

If I learned one thing that really works it is that keeping a good protein/moisture balance is key.
