Virgin Hair Fertilizer

I am in love with this product for many reasons:

1. it grows back the hair rapidly

2. It strengthens the hair while repairing it back to healthy hair

3. restore hairline/edges

This is my nw favorite product i squeeze a small amount on the tip of my finger and apply it all over my hairline. I will continue to apply my hair fertilizer twice a day until I take out my braids which will be sometime next year!

Loving my Braids

So I have my hair braided :D and am inlove with it! I dont have my cord to take these pics out my phone but I will try and do it tomorrow! I sat for 7 long hours on Saturday and am planning to let these braids last me through out the new year. I was told by my mum-in-law about a product I can rub along my hair line to prevent the braids from causing any severe damages to my edges. So am planning on buying one and using it. Until then HHJ - Happy Hair Journey Everybody!

Relax Day 22nd November, 2012

I relaxed my hair yesterday 22nd November, 2012 with the thought that i was going to weave back my hair however, i've decided to braid my hair instead so now am wondering if the relaxing thingy was a good idea! Sigh......Am going to try relaxing every 10 weeks and see how that works out for me so my next relaxing day is 24th January, 2012 x__x I doubt i'll be able to hold out so long without relaxing  but we will see.!

Just a Few Healthy Hair Tips to Start Your Hair Journey

1. Start with a fresh trim.

Start with a nice, fresh trim. If your hair ends are severely damaged cut off those thin, damaged and brittle ends. Broken ends which are severely damaged and thin cannot be made healthy again no matter what product you use or what it promises.

2. Take hair pictures and start hair care journal.

Write down your thoughts and feelings about your hair, hair goals and the time frame you want to achieve them? Do you desire thickness, length or both? Take pictures of your hair every month or every relaxer to monitor your hair's progress. It amazing to see hair transform from thin and lifeless to thick and beautiful!

3. Clip those ends.

Clipping your ends at every 8 - 12 weeks depending with very sharp scissors. Clipping off 1/8 to 1/4 inch every 2-3 months will still allow you to retain length. Prevent split ends before they start because you can’t repair them once they are here.

4. If you choose to shampoo, shampoo 1-2 per week.

Always use a moisturizing shampoo (sulfate-free)! Many of us were taught to shampoo our hair monthly but this only results in dry hair. Water is the supreme form of moisture. Dry hair needs moisture. For growth to occur, it is very important to keep your scalp clean and healthy. To prevent tangling, it is best to shampoo in the shower. Focus on the scalp and work your way through to the hair ends. Don't pile all of your hair on the top of your head. This will cause tangling and breakage.

5. Deep condition with high quality protein and / or moisturizing conditioner weekly.

Deep condition your hair with plastic cap under the dryer at lease once per week! Moisturizing deep conditioners penetrate the cortex layer of the hair infusing moisture into the hair strand. Protein conditioners strengthen the hair by penetrating the cortex and adding amino acids to the areas of the hair strands that are weak. Use good quality penetrating water based deep conditioner with lots of slip to detangle the hair. If you are unable to deep condition under a dryer, apply a warm towel on your hair then apply a plastic cap and leave on for at least 15 minutes. Another option is to apply a deep penetrating conditioner to your hair followed by a plastic cap at night before sleeping. In the morning, rinse out the conditioner and style as usual.

6. Use a leave-in conditioner.

This is important! A high quality leave in conditioner will moisturize, detangle and protect the hair when heat styling. Leave-in conditioners will also prevent breakage and protect the hair from weather damage.

7. Look at your stash of products!

Read the ingredients on all of your hair care products. Don’t use products containing petrolatum and mineral oil to moisturize your hair. Products containing these ingredients will only coat the hair and not penetrate the hair strand. Therefore, the hair will not be moisturized. Stay away from alcohol based products as these will lead to hair that is dry, brittle and prone to breakage i.e. hair spray, gels, mousses and spritz.

8. Keep moisture in the hair.

Protective Wrap

Since am on vacation it makes it much easier for me to wear my protective style without having to take it down right away. I need more protective style ideas if i may jus add that in lol, however today am working my hair in a wrap! I am usually very good at wrapping my hair but today am jus not in the mood.. so i pour some hair lotion into my palms and ran them through my hair then i use my wide tooth comb and comb through my hair in order to spread the lotion evenly through out my hair. Then i wrapped my hair and covered it with a satin wrap so that the moisture would stay in my hair.... It its advised that moisture in the hair is very good for the hair it prevents dryness which leads to breakage. I am very excited that i got the weave out my hair and actually got hands on experience in molding my hair and applyling my Doo Gro products and officially starting my HAIR JOURNEY. Also, it is very important to stick with one (1) line of products because then you will know which product works best for your hair and if you're using more than one it would be difficult to determine which product is responsible for growth or failure. The only other product i use except my Doo Gro Shampoo, Conditioner, Polish and Hair lotion is the Castor oil and i only use the Castor oil for my edges.

I took out my weave-My journey have started

So yesterday my bestie came over and we agreed that it was time to get this weave out my hair and thats what we did lol... Uhmm as I predicted my hair ends were a mess and my edges were MESSED UP *BAWLS*. However, thank God for my DOO GRO products because they worked a miracle in my hair yesterday the combination of the shampoo and condition did restore my damaged hair. Did I mention that thse products smell extremely wonderful! OMG! Anyways my girlfrend took a few pics of my hair so I shall be updating in a short while..... This was my hair like 2 seconds after i took out my weave....

This was my hair during the condition stage....I had to shampoo myself so there are no shampoo pics.. wish i could have left this in forever...it is great! It made my hair very easy to manage and I was left smiling like a satisfied customer. I am very impressed with all my Doo Gro products... Would you believe that my hair is in dire need of a perm but you would never be able to tell because after using the products i didnt get the after wash puffy hair feeling. My hair was  very detangable if that's a word lol and very manageable. Definitely not the usual shampoo/condition experience at all....

Can you believe that after trying to rest my hair by weaving it, that there was more damages done than good??? smh!

The good thing is, before i had put weave in my hair i wasn't using anything in my hair and they were in a very bad state however, now that i hav all these great products.... the end result next time should be a success.

So i am back to neck length and a perfect trim, such a great way to start this hair journey of mine.

My Princess End Result

After her hair was conditioned and dried I did her Protective style by parting her hair off in three and plaiting the ends to prevent them from breakage and exposure. Her hair was not only smelling great but they were extra soft and manageable...she too was fascinated with her hair as I was. I am not sure if am going to continue washing her hair with my shampoo and condition  cause she has her own baby products. However, after experimenting I can say so far the end result was amazing..
