Im sad. my hair appears to be quite healthy but I am losing like 5 ends a day. not even full hairs!! WHat can I do? How often do you all moisturize your ends? aCcording to my own regimen, Im supposed to moisturize my ends twice daily with pure jojoba oil at night and moisturizing lotion. I have two concerns. One is that i may be promoting product build up, and two I havent done it this week because I just paid 50 to get it flatironed and I don't want it to look dirty and greasy so soon! What do you all do when your hair is flat ironed? do you still moisturize daily?
other than that, my hair looks nice and its about 3 and a half inches past shoulder length. It hasn't been this long since before I started doing my own hair!! it doesn't break as much as it used to, so thats pretty cool, but aaaaaah! Im nervous about its health because I haven't moisturized enough...at least I dont think I have...
Do you guys think I should ever have broken ends?

Well what kind of flat iron was it? Was it the kind they put in that heating/oven or was it the kind that you plug in? It could be the direct heat that is causing that. But once we get the answer maybe we could find a better alternative.

it was the kind they put in the heating oven.... it didn't smoke much
and it didn't smell burned... but it is extremely straight so the lack
of smoke was probably because i had no kind of heat protector on it.
should I be using plug-ins?

I'm still here too! I've still been using Wild Growth Oil and it's made my hair healthier and thicker. Next Saturday is my touch-up. It has been 3 months since my last touch-up so I'm about ready to go 2 my hairdresser. There hasn't been too much breakage which is a pleasant surprise. As for styles I've put it up in a bun and used B&B's Pink Oil Moisterizer for my scalp and WGO every Wednesday. I've washed weekly and let it air dry pinned up. I haven't worn my hair down since 2 1/2 months. So I'll give another update when I get my touch-up. God bless everyone and happy hair growing!
Do you put anything in the WHGO to help with the smell?? It's ok sometimes but other times, like when I'm going out, I'd like my hair to smell like something other than wok oil!! Anyway it sounds like your hair is doing really well. Keep us posted about how it's going. I have such a hard time wearing my hair up because I love to wear it down, but I do alternate, about 2 days a weeks I will wear it down and the rest of the time I keep it up.
Actually, I've gotten quite used to WGO, so I don't use anything to help the smell. But when I shampoo my hair with Fantasia Natural Tea Tree shampoo and then put the WGO on my scalp, the combination sort of smells like fresh lemons . So I guess that works for me. But mostly I just withstand the smell. When you keep using it you get used to it and it wears off soon too. I would suggest maybe using a spray of some sort after you put the WGO on, such as Motions Oil Sheen Spray. It smells absolutely fantastic and it might cover the odor of WGO. Other than that I don't know what else to recommend, I'm sorry. But maybe u can put the WGO on an hour before going out or at night. It's not recommended for daily use, but since I have a really dry scalp I use the B&B Oil daily and the WGO once a week.
Right now it's impossible for me to wear my hair down because of the thick new growth. I rarely use heat except 4 my bangs and I barely use a blow dyer. The less heat the better. I actually have a question for you, Honeydoo. How long have you been having a relaxer and approximately how long did it take for you to grow your hair in between bra-lenth and middle of your shoulder? I really love long hair and I'm looking forward to accomplishing my goal which is the same as yours (bra-length then eventually waist length.) Okay, sorry 4 the long post. God bless u!
i'm here too. I've bene pretty good about moisturizing my hair...i use Aveda all over and started putting my shea mix on the ends before i braid it at night and i like the difference in my hair.
so far so good i'd say...my hairs been growing (maybe its the biotin?) pretty well and my curl pattern seems to be more defined which i like.
Sorry it took so long for me to post back Jesus! My hair was cut up to the bottom of my ear lobes two years ago and I've been growing it out ever since. I did have a few months last year where I went crazy using a hot curler (which I never used until then). I had alot of end breakage otherwise I would have been at my goal by now. But Now my hair is alot thicker and softer.
I still use WGHO and I love it's affect. I actually just found out that the fragrance of Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose Shampoo and Conditioner actually overrides the smell of WGHO and almost everything else I put into my hair. It's a really nice smell.
I've been relaxing since I was about 11 but I wasn't consistent. I owuld go for a year without a touch-up and one time I went for almost two years. These last two years I've been more consistent and I pay attention to when my hair is due and if I can stretch longer. Hope this helps. God Bless U 2!!!!
Congrats on the baby!!! I'm surprised that with a newborn you have any time for a routine! Seems like your doing a good job! But make sure to get rest in between!
