Deep Conditioners (DC's)

So I just went out and bought 2 deep conditioners at my local beauty supply store. I purchased the Creme of Nature Argan Oil Intensive Conditioning Treatment, and I also bought the Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Replenishing Deep Penetrating Conditioner. Now, I haven't seen any reviews on any of these products, but my mom does use these, and she always gets pretty good results. I went on the ORS website, and went to this product and they have said that the main key ingredients in the ORS Conditioner is Olive Oil which is rich in essential fatty acids, and infuses moisture directly into the cuticle, and the other key ingredient, Sweet Orange Oil, helps to soothe and condition the scalp. I have also went on the CON website and went to this product, and it says the benefits of this conditioner is that it strengthens and prevents hair breakage, it deeply infuses moisture, it leaves hair soft, silky, and full of body, and that it is infused with Argan Oil from Morocco. The conditioner that I will use first is the CON one. I'll come back after I have used it and let everyone know how my hair feels! Thanks for reading. (:

New Growth

I started my hair journey 3 weeks ago right after i relaxed my hair. In this picture you can already see the new growth! Using the Greenhouse Effect and Jamaican Black Castor Oil, this new growth has come in in only THREE weeks! Wow right? I'm going to keep up this process and hope to reach my APL by the end of the year

GHE

I've researched a lot about hair growth and seemed to notice a couple of things that stood out. When your hair is simulating, it does a lot of growth. I recently found a new way to encourage my hair to break out of it's scalp and shine (; The Greenhouse Effect! Yes it might take a lot of motivation to do this every other night, but regardless, i'm up for the challenge! Using EVOO, i massage my hair (damp or dry) in little sections making sure i get my edges, tips, and back. Wrapping my hair or leaving it messy, i therefore proceed onto putting a shower cap, bandana, and hair bonnet over to really make sure the heat is trapped in for maximum humidity. The GHE has really helped me see a change in my hair growth in the past two week! Try is out (:

Here's a picture of my hair bonnet.

African Pride Olive Miracle

I purchased this Olive Oil at Sally's about a month ago. The main reason for this purchasing was so that I would be able to have Olive Oil to do the GHE with. You're originally supposed to use EVOO or JBCO for the GHE, but I have found that this works just as well. This Olive Oil stops breakage, split ends, and dryness, and its a maximum strengthening growth oil (bonus points haha!). And so far, this oil has really been true to what it's supposed to do. My normal hair growth rate is about 1/4 of an inch a month. With this oil after doing the GHE about 5 or 4 times a week for a whole month, I saw about 1/2 an inch, or a tad bit more, of growth. As you can see, I love this oil a lot and it truly makes my hair feel softer, look healthier, and I defiantly don't see as much breakage as I used to before starting this and the GHE. This oil is a definite thumbs up.

Some ingredients: Soybean oil, Olive fruit oil, Coconut oil, Jojoba oil, Grape seed oil, Avocado oil containing vitamins B2, D, A, E, K, and Potassium, Flax seed oil, Wheat protein, and Hydrolysed Oat and Vegetable protein.

Jamaican Black Castor Oil

So i've read a lot of reviews and seen a million videos on the Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO) and have heard good things AND bad things. Most people said it helps hair growth and thickens hair but it also itches the scalp and smells horrible. Now i mostly trust my opinion. It's true that it smells horrible and that it's really thick, but it didn't itch my scalp. AT ALL. I recommend it. For a 4oz bottle i spent $6.99 but it goes a long way and i will continue to use it for my hair journey.
