[vevuns]

darn sorry for the thumbs down. that was an accident.

[nykki07]

you said on the video that from week 16 through 23 you made some changes.what did you do?

[bawaits]

@nykki07 I have a 2 videos posted titled "Protein wash week" and "Moisture wash week" that tell what we do on alternating weeks... I figured out that I needed to balance the protein with more moisture based products. Thanks so much for posting : )

[FukkinBarbie]

omg, what did you do to your hair that made it so much more healthier

[bawaits]

@FukkinBarbie We started using a weekly regimen.... I don't follow this one exactly anymore, but sticking to a regimen has really helped! Thanks for posting : )

[DemiSel23]

Whoooa.I have to start using what you're using on her.My hair is like Week 5 right now.I wanna get mine like hers is on the 23 week one.Oooohh, and you put this here on my birthday :)

[bawaits]

@DemiSel23 Best of luck with your hair journey!!! Make sure you balance with moisturizing products : )

[01Galileo]

Thanks so much for sharing..

[bawaits]

@01Galileo You are welcome : )

[D3ZMoton]

What do you do not to relax every 4-6 week

[bawaits]

@D3ZMoton She is natural now... So, we don't relax at all anymore... I don't have anything against relaxers, but we decided to do something different with her hair... and it is doing really well.

The flat iron I have (GVP Sally's) gets it really straight when we straighten it once per month. All we do is wrap it at night. Thanks for posting : )

[onlinebabeful]

what are you eating girl ? your hair grows quick also your hair is the most glossiest i have seen

[bawaits]

@onlinebabeful ... Thanks! Nothing special... just drinking TONS of water.

[vonniedun]

nice!!

[bawaits]

@vonniedun ... Thanks! : )

[lollipopchick84]

omg! that's amazing, i have all the aphoogee products, but i was told to only use them once a month b/c it's too much protein, how often did you use it?

[bawaits]

Please check out my videos titled "moisture wash week" and "protein wash week" to see our current regimen... The protein was too much after a while.. still really good products, but need to be balanced with moisture.

Thanks for posting! : )

[JangelicE]

great vid!! Keep up the great work!! What products/regimen do you use?

[bawaits]

Thanks... and check out my videos titled protein wash week & moisture wash week for our current regimen : )

[kiekieb]

To each his own and i love my relaxed hair. Keep up the good work! Hair looks great!!!!!!

[e123rica]

Quick Question... What did you change or do different when you noticed that her ends were getting dry?

[bawaits]

I finally put up a new video of our moisture weeks and our protein weeks... they explain the products that I currently use.

[PrettiDawn]

wow! that's awesome! i'm definately gonna purchase these products. thanks for the encouragement!

[tri22100]

[1krzypraz]

Great results, you can really see the difference by week 20.

[JerseyMadeMe]

[mannytakenbyspinner]

[quishia]

Yes and its really good too!!!

[GhanaGoddess05]

yes

[xxREllbAbExx]

are yu gunnah do any updates soon?

[bawaits]

I plan on it... I have been sort of busy... but hopefully sooner than later : )

[spareld]

I want to use that because I have no idea how I will do my hair besides i'm going nature

[geetmyster]

Natural hair is awesome! I've been for14 months. I had this same type of relaxed hair b4 and I'm not going back. Natural hair grows just as fast. Trust me. If UR still going natural look at all of the natural hair tutorials on youtube for motivation. My favorites are rusticbeauty and misskrissnew.

[patcholie]

thanks 4 taking the time to answer me back, and u have got beatiful hair yourself

[tokyosweetmintmaker]

uhm does her hair grow stright or natural bcuz ive seen much growth and im not sure if i shud cut my ends but i have alotta new growth

[bawaits]

Her hair is relaxed.... but I do keep her ends trimmed.

[tokyosweetmintmaker]

ohhh do u take alot off??

[bawaits]

Just a little off of the ends when needed... not a lot.... unless you have a lot of damage...

[disneydiva21]

do you grease her scalp? if so with what ? how often do you wash her hair ? thanx in advance

[bawaits]

no, I don't grease her scalp... I wash once per week.

I had started washing every other week starting in January, but noticed that all of our hair grows faster when I wash every week. So I started back washing once a week mid March.

[UltimateTrackMom]

Brazilian Keratin Treatment

[bawaits]

As you can tell by my question... I have no idea what that is LOL...

[UltimateTrackMom]

Thanks for yor time and help I am keeping it now and I thnk it helps keeping focus on the desired goal.She is excited and I see progress just gotta figure out this "tween" hair thing LOL What is your take on BKT for a girl once she is passed puberty? (12-14)

[bawaits]

What is BKT?

[UltimateTrackMom]

THANKS FOR THE UPDATES HELPFUL AS i PROGRESS AND REFINE A NEW REGIMENT FOR MY 9 YEAR OLD. WITH VIRGIN HAIR THAT I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP NATURAL FOR NOW.KINDA HARD THOUGH...

[bawaits]

Just make sure and keep a hair journal of what you are doing from week to week... plus take pictures. I have found this to be VERY helpful.

It allows me to actually see if the changes I made are good or not... This is what made me recently switch back to washing weekly... Our hair was growing faster with the weekly washing. Keep me informed on your progress! : )

[geetmyster]

Dont look at it as being hard. Look at it as being beautiful and healthy hair(9yearold)keep it natural. If u need motivation look at youtube under"natural hair". My favorites are rusticbeauty and misskrissnew. When you get a chance look at youtube 400years without a comb. 1/2 of the stuff you'll already know. It's knowledge if you dont know. Pass the info on!

[princess4evaa]

hi could you please tell me what exactly from ateyaaa's regimen u used on ur daughters hair because ateyaaa uses so manyyyy. do u use the protein 2 step treatment? or just the 2 minuite reconstructor?or both

[bawaits]

I did her what she did in her video titled "My Hair Regimen". I have only done one 2 step protein treatment on my daughter's hair or my hair. I followed her regimen exactly for 15 weeks... after that, I had to start making changes. You can see what those are if you watch my video titled "Updates"... Please look for more changes soon! : )

[tmosmothers]

i've been using the aphogee regimen for 4 weeks now and i defintiely have noticed a difference in my hair. but i've noticed that my hair was kind of dry to so i used the neutrogena triple moisture recovery hair mask before i used the 2 minute and it worked sooo well! my hair was no where near dry. thats one product that you could definitely try if you notice that your daughters ends getting dry again (:

[spotthatruth]

Lol what do you think your names Amy LOL

[bawaits]

I have no idea what you are taking about--

[lanre9d]

I mean uh are you like have rough hair? Does everyone in your family have African desendents. Cause my hair isn't like that at all and I wsh my hair is like yours! Even if I relax it, what do you think I should do?

[bawaits]

Yes... we are African-American, but I wouldn't say that our hair is rough... My daughter's hair is soft and sort of frizzy when it isn't relaxed.

My hair is curly and soft.

African Americans have so many different hair textures...

[lanre9d]

I hope you don't mind me asking but do you have african type hair???

[bawaits]

ummm... not sure how to answer this question. What type of hair are you referring to when you say "African type hair"?

Her hair, when not relaxed, is a mixture of textures.... it is very thick.

[Marah1978]

Oh that was awesome. Her hair keeps looking better and better all the time. My goodness her hair is going to be all down her back next year! Love it!

[bawaits]

She would be EXTREMELY happy with that... LOL... Thanks for commenting!!! : )

[blaquebb]

Hello, when you first started this regimen did you start off with a perm? or did you just do all for 10 weeks and then did the perm?

[bawaits]

The first time we did this regimen was August 29, 2008-- She was about 3.5 weeks post relaxer when we did Ateya's regimen the first time.

We had to modify the regimen starting at week 15 due to dryness.

Please watch my updates video to see what those changes are... and check back because I am making even more changes in the coming weeks.

Thanks for posting!

[msyannafresh]

i c her ends got dry and u mad some changes What were they

[bawaits]

Go to my page and watch the video titled "Updates"... Also in the info box on that video, it tells what I did... Thanks for watching!

[star91134]

wow....your hair grew really fast!

[ApriellLuvzYew]

can you make a tutorial video on how to trim/dust your own ends without cutting too much?!

[bawaits]

I don't do my own ends because I would have the back of my hair SO uneven LOL.... But, the next time I trim my daughter's ends, I'll try to see if I can get a good camera view to make a video...

[janellle579]

[bawaits]
