Post by vonnluv 14th January 2011, 9:46 pm

the regimen will begin.
two days since the big chop and it felt like bad hair days with accessories galore to hide the straight ends still rearing their head. two stranded twists---- FAIL! the twist out (because of frizzy ends)-- BIG FAIL! so i tried last night to finger coil the part that i had out (the style was a flat twisted frow hawk)--- umm fail. so i think there is some straight ends or (scab hair) on the ends that wont curl but frizz.

plan tonight:
to pre poo with EEOV
cowash with HE HH
and deep condition with Shea Moisture deep penetration masque
kimmaye leave in conditioner
seal with homemade whipped Shea Butter cream
style will be a up doo straw set style like my avatar

Smile i feel better knowing i have a routine to combat the bc blues

I'd like to join this challenge. I did my third bc on Dec 26, 2010. My biggest challenge is learning to make my curls pop. I tried Kinky Curly Curling Custard, but I hate the way it makes my hair feel. I don't really want to use the clear gels because of the protein.

SEEMS WE HAVE ALL DONE THE BIG CHOP BEFORE !

SAILORWIFEY - WELCOME !!!! YOUR HAIR IS BEAUTIFUL !

GOT CURLS ,CONGRATS ON YOUR BIG CHOP CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE PICS ! cheers cheers

NATURAL GREEN EYED - AS FOR PROTECTING AND GROWING YOUR EDGES, DON'T PUT ANY STRESS ON THE HAIR AND ALWAYS SLEEP IN A SATIN BONNET ! ALSO 100% CASTOR OIL, SHEA BUTTER, OLIVE OIL AND COCONUT OIL ARE GOOD FOR GROWING HAIR, ORS MAKES A TEMPLE BALM THAT IS GOOD.

SAILORWIFEY- I USE A CURL ACTIVATOR FOR CURLS ANY BRAND. I ALSO USE ECO STYLER OLIVE OIL JEL, WHICH I BELIEVE HAVE NO PROTEIN, BUT USE VERY MUCH BY OTHER NATURALS . GO ON UTUBE AND LOOK IT UP.
BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE !!!

yea, i'll put it up as my avatar, and yes each curl at a time lol. it dont take as long as you think. just make sure your hair is moist. i used a leave in and saturated my hair, and i sat down to a movie, and before i knew it, i was done lol. i put on a silk bonett, refreshed it in the AM with water, olive oil, and tea tree oil in a spray bottle (any will do)
