My dislikes about transitioning

1) Line of Demarcation! This area of your hair is prone to breakage because it's the weakest point in your hair. This part gets tangled up easy.
          *line of demarcation is the point where your relaxed hair and natural hair meet.

2) Taking care of 2 hair types (relaxed and natural)! Different hair types need different treatments. For example, my relaxed hair can't hold moisture as long as my natural hair. My relaxed hair is weaker than my natural hair so it needs a lot more care.

3) The look of the relaxed ends hanging from your natural hair! Curly, thick hair at top with straight relaxed ends!!

You see the ends!!!!!!!

*********IT GETS EASIER over time ladies. Once you learn to manage both textures it's a piece of cake. I also suggest having a go to hairstyle for the days when you get frustrated with your hair. I have braids or wigs for my go to. I strongly suggest buying a wig or making your own cause they are a lifesaver. There's been days where I got so frustrated I wanted to cut my relaxed ends of. I still struggle with it til this day but my wigs saved me from a premature BIG CHOP*********

Hairfinity-6 months no heat challenge

Hey beauties,

I am sharing with you guys today my 6 months no heat challenge as well as my new purchase with Hairfinity!! I have recently flat ironed my hair to get a good length check and trim so I will have good before pics before I start Hairfinity and my no heat challenge. I flat ironed my hair March 31, 2014. April 1, 2014 is when I started my no heat challenge as well as my Hairfinity. I purchased a 6 months supply of Hairfinity in March because I love it so much. It is a little expensive, $24 per bottle, but they do give you a little deal if you buy in bulks. My 6 month supply cost me $126 even. If you do not have the money for those vitamins there is a pretty good equivalent when it comes to hair growth and that is Biotin. You can buy Biotin at your local CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, even Dollar General and Family Dollar for under $10. You get more growth with higher mg but of course higher mg means it cost a little more. The highest I've seen in stores is 10,000mg for under $20. I can't give a exact price but it was about $18. If you want to try to increase your growth you can try both Hairfinity and Biotin together. There's a few people on youtube that take both, I will not personally because it's unnecessary for me.

After my 6 months no heat challenge and vitamins are over I will have after pictures for you. If I can go longer without heat I will so my after pictures, it might not be of flat ironed hair so I might just flat iron a little piece to show the growth. I will post my before pictures now so they won't end up earsed like last time.

**If you all do the no heat challenge or take the vitamins or both, please share with me your results.

Hairfinity 2 month update

Hello people, I'm here doing my 2 month hairfinity update. These pills are amazing!!!! They had my hair extra soft and had my hair growing at a faster rate. On my previous post I told you that I had read from other hairfinity takers that it gave them skin/acne problems and that a solution to that would to drink more water. I did not have a single skin/acne issue and I am not a big water consumer. The only issue I have with this product is that once I was out of my pills like 2 weeks later that softness was gone. The length stayed of course but that extra softness that I love so much was gone :( Do I plan on buying more hairfinity? YES! This is an awesome product that works great on my hair. Within a year of using hairfinity I should be relaxer free with a great amount of hair still on my head. I promised before and after pics of my hair. Majority of my good before pics got deleted but I still have some.

*you will see a pic of me in a green homemade length check shirt. My current number on it is at 11 and that is after an inch of my hair got trimmed. The before pic got deleted but the before number was at 7 1/2. So my hair grew approximately 4 1/2 inches in 2 months from using hairfinity alone! How great is that?

**the last picture is before hairfinity!!! Look at the growth

Hairfinity vitamins

I have recently purchased a 2 month supply of hairfinity hair vitamins. As you guys may know I am growing out my relaxed hair to become natural without the big chop. If this product does what it promotes, which is, healthy hair and increase in hair growth it will make my transitioning a lot faster. I will let you know if they are worth the price and the side effects if any. From other reviews they stated that they had acne problems while taking these. Some say their skin got back to "normal" when they started to drink more water, others did not. There was also reports of thinning of the hair as well. Those were the only problems that I have came across with these hair vitamins. I will have before and after pictures for you guys to view my results.

I purchased my supply at hairfinity.com

*any questions or feedback please do so in a comment.

Thanks for reading!!!

Hair Tips: Preventing Breakage

• Moisture! Buy a spray bottle. Mix with water, oil, and a good leave in conditioner. Spray on hair as needed. Find a good moisturizing product as well. Spray the mixture or just water on your hair before combing, Hair breaks when it is Dry!!
• Right Hair Products. Know/find out what works for your hair. You will know when you come across the right product cause your hair will fell great after applying it.
• Deep Condition
• Be Gentle with your hair!!!
• Be Patient and Consistent!!
• Protective Styling!! Do a style that will last for at least 2-3 days
• Finger Detangle. Detangling hair with your fingers. It's time consuming but it's worth it!
• Limit use of heat!
• Trim as needed

Does Monistat cause hair growth?

My hair grows on average about 2 inches every 4 months without any vitamins or hair growth formulas. I started monistat mixed with sweet almond oil in June/July. My hair grew 3 inches in a little over a month, just about 2 months!! So YES monistat does contribute to hair growth.

If you decide to use monistat use sweet almond oil as your oil because when I tried it with other oils it gave me a headache every time I put it on my scalp.

I applied monistat on my scalp Mon,Wed, and Friday every week. I used the generic brand of monistat by walmart, which is Equate.

*I wash my hair with shampoo every 2 weeks when I use monistat.

Happy fast growing!!!
