IndigoRed, thanks for the link. There is alot of good info there.

Renee, I know what you mean about Pantene!! I use to use it about 3 years ago. Never again will I travel down that road!! It made my hair hard. I haven't tried their African American line of products but I don't know if I want to chance it.

I use pantene..it works great for me so far. The African American line did not react well with my hair. Did the damage happen right away or  over period for time?

Hey honeydoo, happy the link is helpful.

Hey Ladies,

Sorry it took so long, but I have my regimen. Since Im growing my relaxer out, Im going to try to keep my hair braided and oiled. Weekly Shampoos, Vitamins (Multi and Biotin), deep conditioners weekly, oil treatments monthly, and trims monthly. Is this good?

Sounds good to me, tell use how it works. Have you heard
conditioner washes? U wash your hair as though it is shampoo,
don't worry you hair will be clean. I am only suggesting it, since
you are transitioning it might help with working with the new
growth. I would say, condition was more and use shampoo
less. For example, If u wash 2 times a week, I would wash with
shampoo once out of those 2 times. Just think about it and see
if it works. Sometimes u have to experiement.

Cebnn, your hair is so pretty like that! Do you curl it up or can you rollerset it this way? I tried curling it up this way a few months ago but to maintain it I had to curl everyday and I hated that. I need to get an online album but I'm not good with stuff like that.

I never tried rollersetting I don't have a dryer yet. (advice on a good one anybody?) ..  I guess it could work rollersetting it, and rolling the ends at night if you can sleep like that.. But yea I was curling it everyday..when I wore it like that. I didn't like putting that much heat on it, so I have started giving myself then make-shift cornrows ( I can do other peoples but not my own) and two-strand flat twist, as an alternative.

I have not experienced this but some people do one roller set and the days following they pin it up at night (pin curls) and its the same the next day.

@ Nubianqt... u are welcome. Tell me if u like it or not.

@ Cebnn...your pics are nice and your son is adorable. I know how hard it is to take your own pics, I took most of mine. Alot of people think it's crazy to take pics of hair so i had to do it myself. U should see how many I take before they looked decent or weren't staring at something in the background.

Ok i see my name too much on this board, i feel like im getting annoying.

If i want a curly style, i do a bantu knot set. It lasts for like 2 days. I do it at night before before, put on my satin cap and do whatever i have to do in the morning. I normally do this when im like 2 mths post relaxer cos i cant wear my hair straight anymore.

Update- well i trimmed and colored around mid-march. Went lighter for the summer. Still using Shapley's MTG every other day, on the alternate days- i use either shealoe butter, shea butter(unrefined) or organic hair butter. Still moisturizing at nite and placing a thin plastic cap on my head overnite. Still co washing daily. Still shampooing/deep conditioning weekly. I think my hair is doing fine- much less breakage and shedding, very moist. so i think that i will make it to my short-term goal on my 2 year nappy anniversary-June 6, 2005. I plan to get my hair braided on Sunday. Just some cornrows for 2-4 weeks.
