[peachesncreamme]

I so glad to see you promoting real hair growth among black women, good job!!

[atikputih]

Does ur hair is naturally straight?? or u straightened it?? If I wash my hair ONCE A WEEK, would it be smelly?? Even I washed my hair twice a week, it already gives out a slightly bad smell...so how?

[aphrodite10101]

I Just started this on my own and i challenged my best friend since high school to do it with me we start today Wish us luck and Vonnique thank you !!

[obamatherealdeal08]

My hair was past shoulder length & It is breaking off, now it's almost to my neck! I knew I had needed my ends trimmned but my mom kept begging me to not cut it bcuz she thought I should keep it for the length! I'm so mad at myself for believing what she said!!!

[classyaka08]

This regime is the truth!  I went to the hair dresser today and she was amazed at how much my hair has grown.

[vonnique]

Gld its workign for you!!:-) Keep me posted!

[strawberry18delight]

hey how do i start to grown my hair i want it al least shoulder lenght can you tell me what to do

[vonnique]

Find a regimen, and be consistant:-) Check outmy other videos mama!

[TIGG3R77]

I'm natural but I get my hair pressed every two weeks I'm geussing that's bad? Is that bad ?

Im doing this challenge!

[vonnique]

Relaxed or natural..join us!!

[tamborine08]

Hey i just want to know if you relax your hair becuase if i want to wear weave i have to have my hair relaxed so that it blends in, is it going to slow down my growth process if i relax every 3-4 weeks? x

[ladiig0tswaqq]

Your hair can be damaged by relaxing that often because it can over process it.

[lexdiamonds1990]

no, your hair will fall out, 6-8 weeks are better

[vonnique]

I would NOT recommend that hun. Relaxing to often can be very damaging

[kthename08]

I miss my AtOne, I used to use it in middle school, worked wonders for me. When I get some change, Imma get me some again. It seems like the products we used ages ago works evem better for us now!

[brandyskipper24]

[dlowe0626]

V,

Hey Girl how's everything going? I just relaxed at 8wks everyone else says they see growth I see fullness so i don't know! 1 thing i am sure about my hair is much healthier than when I started this journey back in March! If I hadn't gotten at least 2 inches by Oct which is my birthday I think I am going to rock that cut that monica has in the Keysha Cole video! : ) God bless and Mo hair!

[vonnique]

good luck mama!

[myzippy2]

ok maybe in a lil slow but im still not getting what it is that r doing special to grow our your hair

[skylet07]

I'm glad your doing this challenge! Hopefully I'll have somewhat of the same results

[dlowe0626]

V,

Congrats gurl ! I don't really have to much of an update. I am still sticking to my regimen. Having trouble posting my pics. My hair is chin length and very blunt .I actually like it though! Hopefully I will be neck length ( would love to be shoulder) by October! Congrats again "Mo hair" and God Bless! : )

[vonnique]

I know those blunt ends are adicting!!

[FromUTube2BigScreen]

this is great. just became a subscriber. i thought that growing it would be a more tedious and time consuming routine but i see that is similar to what i do now. Great job.

[vonnique]

Great!

[TriceyG]

I put myself on my own challenge and it is very similar to urs. I'll be updating soon. Can't wait to see ur updates.

[vonnique]

Can't wait to see your updates!.

[keilabynum]

Hey Girlie, I am so in!!!!

[dlowe0626]

Hey V,

I called myself dusting over the weekend and dusted too much on the left side which of course left the right side a little of longer you know I had to even it up so now I am back at square one. This is going to be a long journey! LOL

[vonnique]

lol u got scissor happy. Well you learn from your mistakes. Atleast you got them good ol' blunt ends now:-D

[MissLoveMakeup]

i wrap my hair every night

& ive noticed that im losing my hair in my temple can someone explain me why ? please

[vonnique]

Try alternating wrap directions.

[dlowe0626]

V,

What's up girl? You know you've got us anticipating your next Grow w/ Me video I know everyone is excited to see how much growth you have so we can compare! God bless and mo hair!!! : )

[vonnique]

Soon..

[idong77]

ive recently started a regimen similar to yours. i use creme of nature and the aphogee protein treatment too. i dont think ive ever had healthy hair so hopefully my hair get healthier like yous. Great vid!!!

[vonnique]

Thnks

[ladykwa]

what does it mean to seal your hair?

[OasisOfBeauty]

do you use anything on your scalp?

[ladyOluvsU]

can u give somemore names of water based moisturizers

[vonnique]

So far still good ladies! Update vid comming in a few weeks. I want to blog but I am not sure what sites allow for this.. ANY suggestions?

[dlowe0626]

V, I am looking forward to your next vid! I have been sticking to my regimen n moisturizing and sealing everynight although I think I am using 2 much of the S curl! So I have resorted to the fake bun (w/the lil comb on the inside) n wearing pulled back in an itty bitty pony lol! I guess u can consider this my protective style what do you think about that? Good idea or no? I am seeing alot more fullness but no length yetI guess I need to be more patient! I will be posting pics soon!

[vonnique]

Good for you. I am gald you can see a difference already. Scurl can weigh down the hair, a litle goes a long way. My rule of thumb is if it doesnt dry over night.. i used to much!! Keep experiementing until you find the :"just right" amount. Cant wait to see your pics!!

[kadzal]

ok i'm going to try it too and let u know how my hair comes out.

[kadzal]

the aphogee 2 minute hair reconstructor u dont need the balancer u only need that when u do the aphogee 2 step protein treatment which leaves the hair really hard but its really good.

[vonnique]

I personally choose to follow up with the balancer. What works for me may not be a preference of someone else. So yea you are correct. But I recommend it

[prettybobgirl1]

thanks 4 the reply ! Is it best to use the same line products for your relaxer( eg. olive oil relaxer+ olive oil shampoo, olive oil conditioner, ect.)? Or it doesn't really matter?

[vonnique]

If you like a certain line of products or if it works for you stick to it. But you dont necessarily have to use the same product line..t ake my regimen for instance. i have products from all types of lines-lol. Im just sayin!

[veronikee06]

Oh ok! condition before deep condition! 4yrs ago, I cut my hair to a taper but I've been growing it back for 2 yrs and it's currently past my shoulders. I love the "Organic Root Stimulator" products and at point, I was using the replenshing pak when I washed every wk. My hair eventually got really DRY. Im glad I now know to do a conditioner b4 the deep conditr. Now, I don't deep condition every wk. I switch btw: hot oil trmt, hair mayonnaise, and deep condition....thankx 4the Challenge.

[vonnique]

Perfect example of how my certain products may not work the same for everyone. Im glad to found what works for you!! Good luck!!

[prettybobgirl1]

Yea...how many weeks before or how often to you relax your hair.

[vonnique]

check under more info!

[lanre9d]

omg!!!! how do you get your hair looking that soft? How many weeks do you wait until you get another relaxer???

[vonnique]

Check my reg! hope that helps!~

[silkismoove]

Love your new cut! I understand about wanting something different. I too started out with a short cut and am now growing my hair out... good luck with the hair challenge!

[vonnique]

Thks hun!

[dlowe0626]

V, tell me what you think about my regimen

I ve just started to use all Dominican products shampoo 1x wk, deep cond. 1x week, leave-in cond @ each wash. Moisturize/seal every night (got that from u) Relax in 8 wks (2wks post) just starting Nioxin Recharging hair vitamins and drinking water! Any suggestions as to what else I should be doing? Almost forgot I get a roller set under a hooded dryer.

[vonnique]

i LOOKS SOLID!! let me know how the hair vitamins work for you.. i have never tried them!

[shesgotprettyeyes]

For the conditoner and deep conditioner, do you shampoo first, then do the replenishing pak and after rinsing that out your regular conditioner or the reverse? What should be the last thing rinsed out before adding leave-ins and preparing the hair for rollersetting?

[vonnique]

The deep condition. A deeop conditioner should follow your regular wash and conditioner

[shesgotprettyeyes]

Great upcoming challenge. Your hair is lovely and my hair is a tad shorter than yours for a starting point. Here's to happy growing!!!

[punkun107]

thank u so much for putting this up!

[AquaInsomnia]

I am with you, I love this challenge because it will halp me stick to my regimine. I am starting at a hair length of 1 inch. I wanted to know what you think about brading relaxed hair, how should i take care of my hair while it is in braids? What moisturizer do u recommend? Can I treat my hair while it is braided? Thank you for this challenge, I took my pictures.....I am so happy.

[vonnique]

S curl or any other water based moisturizer. You can moisturize your braids as you would you hari jsut limit it ot once or twice a week

[dlowe0626]

I have been waiting on this video vonnique thanks! I think I am becoming obsessed with this hair journey! I would like to share my regimen with you to get some feedback k! My goal is SL by Oct which is my birth month.

[vonnique]

[lanre9d]

oh my gosh i sooooo want my hair like yours!!!!! It looks like white hair!!!! Thank you so much for helping us to have hair like you! Any extra tips???

[HollieLuxx]

but im not sure what kind to get. i dont want to ruin my hair. because it's also color treated. if you have any recommendations i would love that. thank you.

[DoobieQueen88]

have you ever looked up fiberguard relaxer if you are looking for lye relaxer, or a good no lye one is ors olive oil relaxer,

[HollieLuxx]

yes i have. it looks pretty good. i think the best kind i should get would be and olive oil based relaxer. thank you!

[HollieLuxx]

yes. im with you on this journey :) great hair products.

i use paul mitchell super strong shampoo and conditioner. then i deep condition with either hot olive oil or mastercuts deep conditioner. and wrap my hair in saran wrap. once thats all done with i usually blow dry my hair. i have mixed hair and im trying it's very dry. what good products that i can use to get it shiney and healthy looking, and at the same time conditioning it WITH OUT build up or stiffness. i really wanna get a relaxer...

[vonnique]

Have you tried a serum for shine?

[HollieLuxx]

yeah, i've tried different kinds... hm, maybe i should experiment with my products?

[twilliams9259]

Will you go back to the baggy method at nite?

[vonnique]

I sure will as soon as I can get my hair long enough to rocka pony tail-lol

[DoobieQueen88]

Im in. Here is my reggie....wash once a week, deep condish twice a week, roller set every time my hair is wet, no dirrect heat, relax every 10-12 weeks. Right now im on a personal 90 day hair challenge so I have kinky twists. I spray my scalp every day with nu gro spray. Goal is to be full collar bone length with blunt ends when school starts August 2009 =)
