July Album (Month 2)

Goal of healthier hair: achieved

Next Goal: I'm aiming for armpit length straightened hair and shoulder length (length my hair is straight now) natural hair. Due to past pictures I'm guessing my hair grows the average hair inch per month so hopefully I'll reach my goal by december. I'm hoping for nice long hair by April of next year because of prom. 8 months = 4 inches unless I get another trim.

Since May 17 I have been working to keep my hair as healthy and as moisturized as possible. Once you get the hang of it, it's not really hard at all. It's like washing your teeth and face everyday.

Routine so far:

-condition twice daily (at least once if I get lazy)
-absolutely no heat!!!!! except for heating pad to do deep condtioning/hot oil treatments
-keep hair in 2 braids or a bun/puff =)
-moisturize twice daily (after conditioning)
-use all natural products/non-commercial (natural products work best on my hair, commercial products... just don't)
-keep combing very very sparse. I only comb in the shower when my hair is dripping wet and soaked with my favorite conditioner (Curl quenching conditioner), if I'm out I finger comb and braid.
-Treat my hair like old lace. This means no pulling/tugging/ripping the comb out of my hair. I comb from the bottom up as if my hair is going to break with every comb. It keeps me gentle and my hair healthy.
-moisture, moisture, moisture ^_^
-I take GNC Ultranourish Hair currently (bought july 2nd) I'll post if I get faster results by taking a supplement. (I hear the hair and nails formula is better, I may switch to that instead...if I can find my receipt, haha.
