My hair is still straight, as planned. It’s also growing a lot. The length isn’t much different, but keep it mind that it has been trimmed several times in between. Once I get rid of those pesky ssk’s, I’ll ease up on the trimming. For now, I’m more concerned with the health of my hair rather than the length. I know that if the health is there, the length will come.
My scalp is doing sooooo well. I stopped applying the conditioner to my scalp when I deep condition my hair. I only apply it to the ends. In addition, I stopped using leave in conditioner. It was just too much. Not only was my hairline breaking out in some sort of an inflammation/cradle cap situation, but right after I washed my hair, my scalp always seemed dirty still. When I parted my hair, there was literally white gunk on my scalp in certain areas. Since I’ve been using the Selsun Blue and I’ve changed my conditioning habits, I no longer have any of these issues. My scalp was just over conditioned. I can imagine that if my scalp wasn’t healthy, it affected my hair growth and health.
I’ve added a “Current Regimen” section at the top where I’ve listed my current regimen, including products I am currently using. I’ll be updating it as things change.
XOXO,

A Hair Story... 
Your hair looks great Rece!! It looks so thick and healthy!!
Thanks! It’s coming in nicely. I’m happy with it. Still a little more trimming left to go, mostly the crown area… of course!
I clarified my hair last week. Before then, I had little issues with itchy scalp/dandruff. I deep conditioned with herbal essence hello hydration, now this week my scalp is so dry! My clarifying shampoo may have been too strong, but I think it’s because I slapped so much conditioner on my scalp. When I wash today, I’m going to see if keeping the conditioner off my scalp will relieve me of this itchiness! I think you’re on to something 🙂 btw, you’re looks beautiful and amazingly healthy!
Thankssss! Yeah, try it and let me know how it goes. My mom was actually the one who made the suggestion and as always… mom is right! Lol
WOW it looks really thick and healthy. for a minute I must confess I was thinking, “why is she trimming so much. There goes Rece cutting again” LOL But this has done you well and I already see the length.
I’m planning to get my blown out soon and trimmed professionally. Just not sure where I want to go. Maybe I should come to you because you are doing a fabulous job trimming your own hair!
LOL! I knew someone would comment about why I trim so much. That’s the only way my hair really grows and I know this from when my hair was relaxed. My hair has really improved since I started trimming and stopped being scared of losing length.
I’m excited to see your hair after your trim. I would offer my services, but I have never trimmed anyone else’s hair before. You’d just be setting yourself up by coming to me. LOL
LOl um and I can’t no insurance so I guess I’ll have to wait!
So you and Shelli set me up!! I totally got sucked in to buying the Terresentials hair wash LOLOL! I promised I’d wait but this morning at the crack of dawn I bought the lemon and the lavendar. I can’t see washing daily though and I’m wondering if I should wait to use up all my other shampoos and stuff before trying it. That could take months though and then the stuff might go bad.
Hey I got my Terressentials today 🙂 i will probably use it this weekend.
by the way, come by my blog when you can. There’s a post for Olay’s Total Effects and you can enter for a chance to win a $50 visa gift card
Michelle, did you use it this past weekend? I didn’t see a post, so don’t know if you’re just waiting until next week;)!
Actually Shelli, it’s in my hair right now as I comment here on this post LOL.(Sat April 14). I plan to do a review but I got nobody to take pics today! 😦 Maybe the next time I do it.
