So I've been taking an omega 3 supplement consistently for 4 months now and I must say I'm noticing a real difference. The hair growing in is notably softer

I've been doing a good job of keeping up with my no heat regimen!! I have been alternating between textured buns and roller sets (have rollers in my hair now). I think I will wait until next weekend to use a heat pass for the month of August. IIRC I THINK I last used heat on touch up day (7/28).

One thing I hate about stretching for so long:

the marathon detangling sessions.

It's decided I'm getting a trim, just have to make an appointment now. I'll tell her to cut what needs to go and give my hair a nice shape with a U hemline then curl it up so I can't see the lost inches.

Qhemet Biologics Cocoa Tree Detangling Ghee: Decided to wear my hair in a fro yesterday so used just this after co-washing. The picture below is my hair 13 hours later, after spending all day in an air-conditioned office. My hair is still soft, moisturized, and parting my hair to pineapple at night it was not tangled together. I am tempted to buy 10 bottles, but I will try to behave .

Has anyone used the carrier oils bought from FNWL/Camden Grey/Wholesale Supplies/ITDF/similar companies to cook? Can anyone think of reasons not to?

I need to take some back shots of my hair whilst it's freshly relaxed. Scared to check the new length although I'm hoping I'm definitely full bra strap length now..

I finally bought a big tub of pure coconut oil for my hair! I had been wanting to give it a try.

@Ogoma I use Mountain Rose Herbs...they make epicurean oils for cooking. And their prices are reasonable.

I tried a rollerset using just some conditioner and coconut oil. It doesn't have that crunchy thing going on like my other rollersets. :lol My only concern is if the curls will hold up since I didn't use any type of holding product on the set. We will see. I'll probably pin curl at night again like I did with my last rollerset.

I shouldn't have given coconut milk a try while in yarn braids. I don't know what I was thinking. It was soooo hard to rinse out and the smell is still lingering. I think I'm gonna have to wash again and I'm suppose to have dinner with the SO godparents tonight. But on a good note my hair does feel very moisturized and I can see clumpy little spirals in my new growth.

@sharifeh I'm afraid to cut them and feel like I've out grown them. This is my first time not having bangs and the idea of cutting some has really been on my mind
