You have a good routine going on, the only thing is that Emily Millionaire works best as a rinse off deep conditioner than a leave in conditioner because it causes build up over time.

Also be sure to warm the honey before use as raw honey has the tendency to lighten your hair. That's why it's good as a spot remover on skin.

No, you mustn't go under a steamer to get the full benefits of your DC. Your body heat is sufficient to let your treatments sink in even though you have to wait for las long as 30mins instead of about 15mins with a steamer.

I've been thinking about the ultimate protective style that will keep my hair hidden but look fabulous.

While braids and twists with extensions are good protective styles, the problem is that your hair strands are still exposed within the extensions and when the braiders are trying to neaten it with the scissors, they snip off some hair that managed to escape at the sides.
A lot of that and you lose a lot of length. This is in addition to the extensions being heavy and being braided too tight.

So what styles do I think are at least 99% protective?

Yarn wraps,
Crochet weaves
Regular weaves
Marley braids or twists (no snips to smoothen anything and they are chunky enough to hide your hair)
Wigs

These keep your hair completely hidden away from the elements.

Runner ups,

Yarn braids
Box braids
Senegalese twists
Good ole bun
Inverted beehive ( protects the ends beautifully, so little breakage)

My hair grew!!!! shocked shocked it used to be just over half of this length a few months ago. Don't know what I did though. Perhaps it was the braiding? But the downside of that is the edges. Taking a one week break before I braid again

^^^^congrats girl grin I know that feeling.

Your edges look okay to me. You can keep applying castor oil or the Jamaican black castor oil. It works wonders on edges.

You can also try a mixture of castor oil, coconut oil and Extra virgin Olive oil. This mix works wonders.

If you want less breakage by the time you take down your braids, deep condition your hair a day or two before. Then the day you want to braid, apply the castor oil mix from root to ends. Also make sure it isn't braided too tight.

How to grow your hairline after damage. This recipe takes a month or two to see results and is my go to recipe if all else fails. I don't use it often so my hair doesn't get used to it and then it stops working and I have to try out another recipe. This particular one took me months to formulate.

1 tbs of Chinese balm + 1 multivitamin capsule contents + 2 tbs each of olive oil, coconut oil and amla oil + 1 tsp of sulfur ointment.
Apply this mixture on freshly washed scalp and everyday to hairline and thinning areas until it grows out.
Once it grows, discontinue and maintain new growth with suitable products.

Hi, you're always welcome and more. Coconut oil is different from palm kernel oil. Coconut oil comes from coconuts while palm kernel oil comes from the Palm fruit. The palm fruit is the one used to get red palm oil. Palm Kernel Oil is gotten from the seed/nut within the palm fruit and is dark brown (if roasted ) to very light yellow (if cold pressed).
Both oils are similar chemically which is why you can use one or/and the other.
They help strengthen the hair within and are beneficial to hair growth.

The castor oil sold in cream form is not the pure castor oil. It has simply been added. The castor oil (which is viscous and light yellow) you want is the one found in pharmacies usually as a laxative. This is just one of the uses of castor oil. It is also good for encouraging hair growth and for acne.

For your daughter's hair, it seems to be too fragile for the weight of extensions and I'd advise styling her hair as is.
I'll have to know your current products and regimen to know what's causing the problem of breakage. Pls send me a mail on nappilynigeriangirl@gmail. com so we'll discuss further.
