Thanksgiving Hair Growth Update

i have been wearing my beaded extensions since the end of August and its the end of November now. i decided i would remove the extensions and give my hair a breather so  can care for my scalp for a while with some deep scalp and hair treatment. My hair did grow a little. Ever since my last post i have discovered some new great products. here is what i am currently using:

Virgin Coconut Oil - Coconut oil aids in scalp dryness. it is high in vitamin E and fatty acids. Its also anti-fungal, anti-oxidizing and anti-bacterial. It helps with dry damaged or frizzy hair. Its even a great remedy for dandruff.

Nioxin Diamax: I apply (spray) some on my scalp everyday to help hair grow in thicker and to unclog and clogged hair follicles.

Massage Scalp: I also like to massage my scalp in the shower for at least 3-5 min after applying conditioner to stimulate it and help promote healthy scalp.

You might notice I am talking alot about the scalp in this post. Mostly because its super important to have a healthy scalp if you want to have and maintain long healthy thick hair. We tend to alot of times care and treat out hair and totally neglect out scalp then we wonder why there are no results. The scalp is like the root of a flower, You need to nourish it in order for it to grow healthy and strong.


Ok so here is a picture of how much my hair grew since my last post.. Let the journey go on.. I have a lot of hair growth to do =) Remember my goal is to have long, thick, healthy hair the reaches my waist.

My Journey to healthy hair starts now...

                   Yesterday, July 24 2012, I got my extensions finally removed and it was terrible. They were all knotted and the stylist really pulled and hurt my scalp. Not the best experience. I was in denial but I have to admit when you get permanent extensions your bound to get some type of damage so you might as well stick with clip ins, they are alot healthier for your hair. My hair feels super duper dry. If I had to compare it to something I would compare it to hay. So Today July 25th I dyed my hair for the last time because I wanted to get ride of the blonde underneath. Now My goal is to not touch my hair with any type of dye and just grow out all natural from hair and give it the healthy care it needs and deserves. My goal is to achieve healthier, thicker stronger, longer hair. Here is a picture of how fried my hair looked after I removed my extensions and dyed it. Its so sad. My hair is very uneven, breaking, weak and brittle, But its ok because this is all in the process of achieving my goal and its only going to get better from here. At this point it could be hard and frustrating but it will be all worth it in the end.
