Grow-Out Challenge 2005

Actually, I live in Michign, I just happen to be in Chicago when
the black womens expo was going on. I heard about it thru
another hair site and said, well since im there i would see what
its about. I saw Vivica Fox while I was there, she had in braids (
the style that she been wearing lately) really curly, very nice.

Adora} and cmesweet, what did you think of the expo?  i've been going for the past three years and i was a bit disappointed with the choice of vendors...i went with the intention of getting oils for my hair (jojoba, in particular) and couldnt find one person that had it!

Thanks for the link carameldiva.... is it on the recipe board? If so, I can't get to that board, since im not a member right now. Is there a way u can copy and paste it?

I relaxed my hair myself today with the Phytospecific Phytorelaxer Index 2. My hair looks amazing! It did not burn at all, application was a breeze, and my hair was straight and smooth even as I washed it out in the shower. I deep conditioned with the Vital Force Creme Bath, applied a mixture of Salerm 21 and Star Lacio Lacio, wrapped my hair, and sat under the dryer. Once my hair dried, I applied a little Phytolisse and flat ironed my hair with my new FHI iron, which is my new miracle tool. To finish my style off and moisturize my hair, I applied a little Phytospecific Beauty Styling Creme all over. My hair turned out beautifully, and I am so psyched to grow it out if it's going to look this good!

Thanks Cmesweet! I meant to ask you for that recipe.

k, great. Glad you found what you needed. Let us know how yours turns out.

Hello Missfro, yes u can join, it's never too late.

Missfro, OF COURSE you can join! You don't necessarily need a regimen. My sister has never had one and her hair is growing like a weed. You can join anytime.

welcome abord, Missfro- we all hope that you enjoy your stay here.

I think I want to join the grow out challenge. I am working on an online album and it will hopefully be up by the end of the week. To track my progress online. I don't have a regemin worked out really, but I have started to wash my hair on sundays and allow it to air dry. Sometimes I twist or braid my hair while its almost dry, but lately have just been putting it in a bun. I use tea tree oil on my scalp b/c it gets dry easily. I do the baggie method and usually keep that on with a satin bonnet on my head. Its easy for me to do b/c I stay at home with my son during the week. Wednesday I wash my hair in the morning, airdry, then flat iron.

The products I am currently using are Nexxus Therappe, Nexxus Humectress orCreme of Nature shampoo and conditioner Once a week using Aphogee  Intense Keratin Reconstructor. I put Gensing Miracle wonder 8 oil in my hair, with elasta Q P recovery oil moisturizer to let it dry, or the recipe that is posted on the homemade recipe board.(don't quite know what to call it) I use a mixture of olive oil mixed in my hands with elasta qp mango butter on my ends when I do the baggie method. When I flat Iron I use Ion anti-frizz solutions heat Protection Thats about it. I'm trying to use a protein treatment, but haven't really ever tried any so I bought a few small packs from Sally's this weekend, to try some different brands out.

Lemme know if thers anything you think I should try! Thanks!
