The hair in foreign air - update

Welp turns out my lovely bantu twist outs don't hold up very well in 30°C humid weather. Good to know for the summer eh?
 
I started using creme of nature conditioner. I love it for the slip and the deep moisturising effect. I made the mistake though of using it twice and my hair is like straw. The deep conditioning treatment I did though was *kisses fingers* so soft and easy to use.
 
I also did a weave (more of that in another post) and left hair out. I was very against that after the last weave but ego overrode fear of breakage. Afterall...it'll grow back right? Right?!
 
So lessons learned are...
 
1. Always check that the conditioner is light not heavy protein
2. Bantu twist outs don't last in humidity
3. 12 inches of hair is a lot! I can't believe people get longer. Kudis to them cos I dont know if I could.

So I don't expect much from vitamins that claim to "grow hair fast". Until Manetabolism. What is it? How did you find it?

Product Review: Hercules Sagemann Seamless Tooth Comb

Image
The seamless comb. A thing of legend in the healthy hair journey community. I've read a lot about the seemingly wondrous and magical powers of this comb. So (finally) when I came into some extra cash I decided to give it a try. I had a couple of questions about this going in and I'm guessing if you're reading this you do too. So I'll do a bit of Q&A first before my review.
