Mega-Tek!

So what's deal with this new growth aid that's been out for some months? Its like the new MTG! Yes its another product for horses but its also made for us. The ladies of LHCF and BHM are getting growth left and right. One girl on BHM reported today that she used it 3 times a week for 4 weeks and her hair grew like hell! Here is the link: http://forum.blackhairmedia.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=149762 I hope she doesn't mind. MEGA-TEK GROWTH PIC's of Others:LHCF and LHCF pt2

When I heard about it yall know I went out and got it. I have been using it on and off but NOW after seeing the results and doing my research I am going to hop on this bandwagon and start using it faithfully. I plan to use it on my scalp straight without mixing it with anything. This will be my growth aid for this set of braids. We will see how it works! *crossing fingers*

From Thin to Thick: Products I used!

I think there is really no product that can make you have instant thick hair but over the time with limited use of heat, stretching and protecting those ends they will eventually get thicker. I am a witness of that.
BUT during this last removal of my braids my relaxer and ends were defintely not see through.This made me start thinking that maybe it is a product. The only product or products that I can contribute to the thicker ends is my Ayurvedic products. I have been using the Shikaki bar and vatika oil. So thats whats working for me.

Moisture Tip:

Check out this tip I picked up from a site:

Applying a moisturizing conditioner to dry hair for 30 minutes to an hour and following with a warm/cool water rinse can help maintain the hair's moisture balance and make it more pliable.

I washed my braids this morning and went outside into a damn dust storm (IRAQ). So to keep from having to take an hours washing my braids I will try this.
