April Update
My hair is growing nicely. Think I'll just grow it out for a few more months then snip my ragged ends. Last time I measure I was firmly at collarbone length !! Achieving APL ought to be a breeze if I'm consistent. Remember.....consistency is not my strong suit!
Nevertheless, this is the longest my hair has ever been. So maybe I've finally learned a thing or two.
My current regimen is:
1. Pre poo with ORS Replenishing conditioner. Leave it on while doing housework. Then rinse during my evening shower.
2. Shampoo once with Pantene Beautiful Lengths 2in1 Shampoo.
3. Condition with Pantene Beautiful Lengths Conditioner. You can't skip this step. The shampoo makes my hair feel a bit stripped. The conditioner makes it very slippy.
4. Towel blot.
5. Apply a leave in conditioner. Sunsilk Hydra TLC Leave in is a staple for me.
6. Apply aloe vera gel to my hairline.
7. Pull into a ponytail then seal with a heavy preparation like coconut oil....the kind with petroleum in it. I know it's a bad ingredient. But it's fairly effective at keeping my ends moisturized by sealing the conditioner in.

I'm Back
Well, I've finally gotten the hang of things. It took many weeks but I'm feeling less overwhelmed with the addition of my daughter Katie. Sleep and I aren't speaking right now (LOL)! I can't wait to enjoy a full nights sleep again.
Anywho....I touched my hair up a few weeks ago. I had to. My hair was suffering. It forced me to sh!t or get off the pot. since I wasn't committed to the BIG CHOP and short hair I decided to remain texlaxed.
Though I wish I could've hung on a bit longer I'm happy to report I'm pretty much collar bone length at this time. That was an unexpected to surprise. However, I anticipate cutting my ends in the coming months. They aren't split or anything. Just raggedy looking and slightly uneven.
My hairline is slowly improving. Never again will I underestimate the power of using good tools. Brushing is the devil! But if you must do it choose (and use) your brush carefully,
