Wash Day with Bantu-Knot Out #Fail...

I felt so lazy that morning because I couldn't decide how to style my hair after my wash day perhaps Flexi-Rods, Roller Set, Bantu –knots I don’t know.

Note: I ALWAYS detangle prior to starting my wash day.

[1]   Prepooed with Extra Virgin Coconut Oil mixed with some peppermint oil on my scalp and 

       a bunch of conditioners that I’m trying to get rid of, mixed with some honey on the length 

       of my hair for 20mins under my heat cap.

[2]   Shampooed with Aussie Moist Shampoo diluted with water and a few drops of peppermint 

       oil because it strips my hair. Followed up with CON Moisture & Shine Shampoo and rinsed.

[3]   Applied Aphogee Two Minute Keratin Reconstructor for 3 mins and rinsed.

[4]   Deep Conditioned with Elasta QP Intense Fortifying Conditioning Treatment (first use) for

       30 mins under my heat cap.  First Impressions it smells great and has a lot of slip. I did not        mix anything with it because I want to see if the product proclaims its word.

[5]   Wrapped my hair in a t-shirt for 1hr to absorb the excess water

[6]   Applied Aphogee Keratin & Green Tea Restructurizer, Aussie Moist Conditioner, 

       Herbal Essences Split-End Protector (on my ends) and Extra Virgin Coconut Oil to my

       hair and detangling has been a breeze so far since I’m only 3 weeks post relaxer.

[7]   After an hour my hair was completely air dried and so moisturized and shiny.

[8]   Oiled my scalp with Jamaican Black Castor Oil and moisturized with my 

       Elasta QP Olive Oil & Mango Butter

NO More Popping Pills to Boost Hair Growth...

Yup you read the title correctly. Back in February I decided to try out the Spring Valley Hair, Skin and Nails Vitamins and I must say I really liked the results I got. See my review here at 7weeks post and (here) at 14weeks post relaxer.  I only tried this vitamin to see what all the hype was about, by taking vitamins to grow your hair and it’s not a venture I will continue.

Yes I did gain an additional ½ to 1 inch more than normal but what are the consequences of that extra ½ to 1 inch more?  Before I decided on the brand vitamins I wanted to take, I did a lot of research to find out the side effects and NO ONE experienced anything out of the ordinary outside the break-outs due to the high level of biotin in them.  I personally didn't experience an increase in hair growth in any other parts of my body except on my head, perhaps I was lucky lol . I definitely increased my water intake to ensure minimum break-outs happened and I succeeded.

Even though research showed no one experienced any side effects that would be harmful to our

I have heard great reviews about this product and since I use a lot of their product line I decided to give it a try.  As usual I like to use a new Deep Conditioner when I’m freshly relaxed as well as deep into my stretch about 12weeks post to see if the product lives up to its name, so my review will come at the end of my stretch.
