I’m so over this stretch right now. It has been one of my best stretches for growth but also one of my worst for shedding and tangles. I can’t remember when last a comb touched my head because I have been using my fingers very thoroughly. I’m extremely nervous about how my ends are and know I need to trim alittle but I’m not scared about the trimming, just the thinning. I will confess that my regimen hasn't been consistent during the last 16 weeks and the only person to blame is myself. I take full responsibility with my relaxer results which will be up next week.

[3] Deep Conditioned with a concoction since I could find my all time favorite of 
Aphogee.
I mixed ORS Replenishing Conditioner
with Mayonnaise (from my fridge) to increase the
protein levels. I added some Extra Virgin Olive oil & Coconut oil. I sat under my
hooded dryer for 30mins. My hair was stronger and extremely moisturized.
