Thee BEST detangler: Extra Virgin Olive Oil

YES I'm talking about the olive oil you buy in the grocery store! :) This stuff is probably the best thing that's ever happened to my hair. Detangling my hair after I wash it can be such a NIGHTMARE!!!! I've been trying different products to detangle but EVOO is the BEST!!!
I did my regular wash routing but this time , instead of prepooing in coconut oil, I used evoo.. after I shampood, I was about to start using a conditioner to detangle but my fingers were already just running through my hair so easily!! I didn't even have to use any other product to detangle !!!

Nioxin results already? :)

I've been taking Nioxin for about 30 days now & I am surprised that I'm already seeing positive results :) Since taking Nioxin, my eyebrows have grown in WAAAAYYY faster than usual!!!!My nails are much stronger and have grown MUCH faster than before. I can't SURELY tell if it did anything to my hair or not but I do see that my new growth is AT LEAST a bit more than 1/2" from 1 month ago.

I think my normal growth rate is 1/2" a month.. not quite sure but like I said, a bit more than 1/2" is the LEAST my hair has grown & I'm sure my hair grew more than that but its hard to tell with this measuring tape I have been using. I will continue taking these vitamins :)

**3/10/12 UPDATE: Stopped using Nioxin because it gave me the WORST breakouts :( Took a while for those pimples to go away. I think it really was making my hair grow very quickly but I couldn't stand the breakouts (yes I was already drinking LOTS of water)

1st Flat Iron Since June!!!

Ahhhh how I've missed this straight, SOFT hair... I love it!
I got my hair done professionally at the salon. I am just disappointed at the fact that my hair did not grow out as much as I'd expected. I've been wearing protective styles and haven't been using any heat on my hair since the beginning of June.

Last year when I wore protective style for only 2 months, my hair had gotten SOOO LONG, and this time I've been doing pretty much the same thing plus more for a longer duration of time; I believe Hairdrenalin stunted my growth.
My ends are a LITTLE see through (nothing drastic) and that's strange to me, since I've been protecting my ends for the last 4 months. I've been researching and came to the conclusion that I need to make sure I MOISTURIZE my ends OFTEN!!!! There were times that I would just keep a protective style in for a whole week without manipulating my hair AT ALL; that was a mistake because I should have been taking my hair out to moisturize my ends.
BUT I am happy that my hair is still healthy and it is still growing :)




I left my hair down (wrapping it at night) for about 4 days after I'd got it flat ironed, then I started loose bunning.. Making sure my ends are tucked under my bun. I moisturize my ends every other day with Roots of Nature Strengthening Oil Moisturizer (hair lotion). I really likes this stuff because there's no harsh ingredients, it keeps my ends moist and it smells fresh :)
