Products currently using: Oyin Handmade Honey Wash/Oyin Grand Poo bar for shampoo, Various VO5 conditioners...strawberry, passion fruit, depends on my mood. Giovanni Direct Leave-In or Shidanaturals Moisturizing Cream/Spray, EVOO & Coconut Oil, ECO styler gel, Miracurl Curling Gelly.

Regimen: Right now I'm co-washing every1- 2 days, deep condish weekly with HEHH and I add olive oil and honey, sit with a plastic cap for a bit. I baggie overnight sometimes once a week with evoo/coconut oil mix. I think I may up my baggie sessions to 2-3 times a week. I shampoo maybe once a week if needed. I define with ECO. I'm going to use up the rest of my HEHH & HETT and then I won't be repurchasing them. I'm gonna try going strict cg. Pretty simple reg.

Hair Goals: Major growth!

woooooow newc, u got MAJOR growth!

Nubie those earrings are super cute!!!!!!! Do you mind me asking where u got them? I need some more growth though!!! I wanna wear a twistout!!!!!

Hi my fellow TWA's...I was wondering what you ladies are using for curl definition. I have about 2-4 inches. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] or at least I think i do. But I don't know how to get my girls to be really defined. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi dph! I use Eco Styler Gel, works perfect for me plus it's cheap.

I agree Ecostyler olive oil gel does the trick. It may make your hair hard though so I would put some oil over it.

I think I'm going to do my first henna treatment this weekend. Need to secure some Indigo, I'm not into changing the color of my hair. I want to see if it will help loosen my curls...Wish me luck.
