Keep It Straight

Welp. I finally got my relaxer. I think my hair was a little over cooked this time around. My hairdresser said there was so much new growth she couldn't get to everything fast enough.  I'm kindda happy about that (but not really).

I got this product because it was recommended as a good moisturizing only deep conditioner. I needed that after I found out that I'd put too much protein in my hair.

Success?

This is a check in for my moisture quest. It's been a wild ride but I think I'm coming out of it stronger and wiser.  I outlined my plan in a previous post but I'll give you the basics again + the new addition that I think is helping as well. 1. Protein free deep conditioning with aubrey organics honeysuckle rose 2. GHE for extra moisture boost 3. Leave-in moisturiser mix 4. Co-washing (new addition)

Is fraught with giant boulders of dryness. I just can't....

Ok. Before I start, I just want to say...I was the biggest skeptic about hair growth vitamins. I tried biotin for a couple of months and the only things that grew were my nails and my cystic acne (which at my age is not pretty). So I don't expect much from vitamins that claim to "grow hair fast". Until Manetabolism. What is it? How did you find it?

You know how I was raving about cantu my last post? Well...*smacks lips* lemmi tell you... I was using it every week thinking it was cool because it only had wheat protein and it was like number 14 on the ingredients list. Then I retouched (aka relaxed) my hair and my strands were hella dry! Like surprisingly dry. Like individual pieces of straw dry...and I was confused and a little scared.
