I like how you didn't mention it was $30! Lol girl I got Christmas coming! Now I gotta figure out how I'm going to get it! Lolshortdub78 The one I used and loved was the Phyto Reparative Serum and it worked miracles. I still have some and may work it back into my regi. I'm wigging though, so I don't really know how.

Washing my hair today and will use a heavier oil to seal to air dry instead of using the serum. It worked at first but air drying is zapping the moisture out of my ends so quickly.

I want to join.
1. Are you relaxed, texlaxed, natural, transitioning, etc? Relaxed
2. Current Hair Length: Hip
3. Why are you joining this challenge? The hair on my crown needs attention
4. What have you tried to improve your ends? I've trimmed the rest of my hair (it's blunt) so that hair is in good condition. But the crown is short so it doesn't get trimmed.
5. What are you going to try to get those healthy ends? I'm going to trim the top this weekend and then just wait for it to grow back out. I also want to start trimming my hair at least every 4 months. Also, continue deep conditioning a minimum of every week.

If you're referring to the Phyto Reparative Serum, you can find it on eBay for cheap. That's where I have been buying it. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=371084767890

3. Why are you joining this challenge?
Healthy ends are the key to retention! Also, who doesn't love healthy looking ends aesthetically.
4. What have you tried to improve your ends?
This winter is supposed to be nasty
, so I will continue heavy sealing by LCOPing. In addition to low manipulation, I have been trying to incorporate more protective styling. I will be using a lot of satin lined beanies and hats this winter. I'm following Lucia's challenge, so I may skip the Winter Solstice dusting and try to hold out till Spring. However, I'll do "Notice and Destroys" I'm too lazy for S&D, but if I notice something amiss, I'll destroy it with the scissors
Essentially, I'll be heavy sealing and hiding my ends,

Thank you. Its your fault you know. After you took out your locs I've been stalking your hair ever since.

I used a butter on my crown, edges, and ends. It's from qhemet. I had it for awhile. It isn't too heavy. My hair liked it. Especially my crown. I am doing the green house effect method to help bring moisture, but I only do it for a couple of hours, if I did it overnight, I would have a problem.

I used QB on myself and exclusively on DD over the past few years and love it but I think our hair got use to them. The butter smells soo god! I too have been doing the GHE for an hour or two a day and prior to shampooing and my hair is loving it.

My ends still feel nice today, I am just going to GHE tomorrow and not put any products on my hair. I will do a hot oil treatment and scalp massage Thursday. Mo think I mentioned this already, but I'm not going to use any serums until I use some heat. I usually use a serum to add slip and seal in moisture on wash day, but I used oil to deal with and my hair felt nice once completely dried.

Newbie and I'm in!
1. Are you relaxed, texlaxed, natural, transitioning, etc
Texlaxed
2. Current Hair Length
An inch from shoulder length
3. Why are you joining this challenge?
My ends are atrocious and I'm slowly nursing them back to thickness and health
4. What have you tried to improve your ends?
Welp, started out with a mini-cut. I can/should still cut about 1-1.5 inches off but I will take off .5 inches every 4 weeks to try to keep some of my length. I need a real regimen and that's why I'm here!
5. What are you going to try to get those healthy ends?
I need to finally nail this protein/moisture balance thing. I'm also going to start moisturizing/sealing daily. Will try to trim every 2-4 months to keep ends fresh. Lastly, will look for better ways to hide my hair. I'm thinking wigs..

Welcome ladies.
Ms. Dee Raven I haven't seen you in a while
I know. I'm sorry. I was thinking when I read the posting and saw monthly update stipulation that I totally failed in this regard in the last challenge. Though I will say, I totally up'd my DCing game over the last year, and with the exception of the crown, my ends are looking really good thanks to this year's challenge.
I bought the Tresseme split ender bandage today. I'm looking forward to seeing how well it works. I was originally looking at the CD Monoi oil split end treatment but it's super expensive, better to try with a cheaper version.
Has anyone had success with any of these products?
