Just got my hair relaxed after a 16-week stretch. I was giving my hair a much needed break after the last relaxer left my hair feeling a little thin since there were only 8 weeks between applications ( I normally stretch to 12 ).
I had my poor little ends trimmed / cut. I would say a good inch and a half are gone, but now I'm back to thick and healthy instead of straggly and stringy.
Now I plan to baggy and bun again.

I bought some ouchless scrunchies made out of chiffon or some other really smooth fabric. I have been putting my hair in large bantu knots at night and these are perfect for that. If I moisturize immediately before the bantu knots I get really nice waves

Since my last dusting several weeks ago, my ends has been doing very well. Last week I touched up my hair after 17 weeks and now I feel I can better care for my hair and avoid the massive tangles I was getting with my stretch.
Last night I sealed my ends with my shea butter/grape seed oil/glycerin mix.

I promised myself I wouldn't search and destroy before I washed tonight. I lied.my ends are getting smoother and smoother though.
Am I going to have to come collect your scissors?
Thank God mine are dull or I would be dusting once a month. I will buy a new pair right before my next trim to avoid temptation

Even though I've somewhat neglected my hair this past week by not putting my Shea Butter on it daily; I did, however, kept it in a protective hairstyle all week. My hair has yet to be washed and doesn't look too bad. So, 2 more days 'til school is out for work & Grad School. Looks like Friday is hair day.

Still heavy sealing my ends. However, today I'm being a bad girl, my hair is down on my sweater. I already know that's a no-no, but I'm trying to be cute,

I would like to join the challenge. I will admit that there will be times where I cannot update once a month (job issues). But, I will try. SSKs and splits are things I have struggled with for years and have effected my ability to retain length.
1. Are you relaxed, texlaxed, natural, transitioning, etc
I am natural. My last relaxer was sometime in the summer of 2007.
2. Current Hair Length
Around APL.
3. Why are you joining this challenge?
As stated, healthy ends have always been a struggle for me. I am trying to grow my hair to WL, but healthy looking WL, not one strand knotted up ends WL
4. What have you tried to improve your ends?
To be honest, nothing consistently enough to count.
5. What are you going to try to get those healthy ends?
Maintain a consistent routine
Incorporate heavier sealants (grease, beeswax)
Keep my hair moisturized and styled
6. Will you update us 1x a month?
Yes, when possible.

3. Why are you joining this challenge?
I'm not going to have anymore setbacks from neglecting my ends. Long hair is wonderful, but not when it looks like something the dog's been chewing on! Having thick juicy ends really sets off the way your hair looks. Makes for easier detangling too.
4. What have you tried to improve your ends?
Not much lately besides trim last week and as a little grapeseed oil.
5. What are you going to try to get those healthy ends?
Stay consistent with protein/moisture DC, bunning/half wigs, and most importantly heavy sealing.

Last night I moisturized with qb hydrating balm, brbc and ahtb and my hair is so "soft".

I hope it's not too late. I'm in. I need to focus on healthy smooth ends also. I'm currently looking for a great moisturizing product to coat and seal my ends. I might just go back to baggying my ends through the winter. I haven't decided yet.

I rollerset my hair tonight and spritzed the ends with Chi Keratin Mist. I'm looking forward to beautiful waves tomorrow. Too bad it's going to rain

I've been using more cream based stylers to see whether this reduces my ssks. Using cream stylers also forces me to wash my hair twice a week which I hope will allow me to remove shed hair and avoid the tangles that result. I hope this helps. I really like the ease of WNGs, but not all the tangles.
