Breakage / Shedding challenge come on join me (closed to entries)

[Boushewa]

Update: My hair has been responding positively. My shedding and breakage has reduced. Another change happened that I wasn't expecting is my hair has gotten thicker.  I'm currently trying to transition to natural hair so I guess it should have been expected.

[nunaavane]

@Boushewa well not necessarily, but this is great, i am so glad the challenge has helped a little :-)

[j80edwards]

On Friday, I only had a small amount of my garlic essential oil, so I added into my protein treatment this week. I used the ORS Replenishing and added in the garlic essential oil and olive oil. I went under the dryer for about 15 minutes, then shampooed and deep conditioned. My hair loved it, it felt moisturized but very strong afterwards. My breakage issue is currently a non issue and it feels so good! I am now only using protein every other week and it seems that my hair is loving that.

[nunaavane]

@j80edwards greaaat ! i am so happy for you ! i used to do that also ORS + garlic oil mix, it works like a charm :-)

[MsVincygirl]

Update: I think the shedding has come down to a normal level which I'm very happy about. However, I'm still breaking. It is not as much as when I first started the challenge, but its still there. Well I'm not giving up. I will conquer this!!! :)

[nunaavane]

@MsVincygirl tks so much for updating :-)

don't give up ;-)

[j80edwards]

Update On Friday, I added a little bit of conditioner to my EVOO and garlic essential oil mix it to see if I could help with the strong smell a bit. I applied it to my hair and went under the dryer for 20 minutes. I knew I was going swimming on Saturday and did not want to use shampoo two days in a row, so I just cowashed. My hair felt very good and strong as it usually does after my garlic treatment.

[nunaavane]

@j80edwards greaat ! tks so much for your frequent updates girl :-)

[j80edwards]

Update - My hair has been going great this week. I am so happy the breakage has stopped. I am still keeping up with my hot oil treatments, deep conditioning and moisturizing and sealing.. I am actually under the dryer doing my garlic and olive hot oil treatment as I type. HHJ everyone!

[nunaavane]

@j80edwards lol, thank you so much for the update girl, glad the breakage is doing better :-)

[j80edwards]

Update My hubby did not like the smell of the garlic essential oilit was way to strong, very concentratedlike the smell of garlic to the power of 100. So I decided to try the fresh garlic. I chopped it up in the morning and let it soak in olive oil. When I got home I added it to my dc. I did not have any breakage on that wash day and havent had any breakage at all during last week. The garlic has worked wonders for my hair! The challenge is going great so far for me.

[nunaavane]

@j80edwards : yes this is exactly how i do it, with fresh garlic cloves :-)

so glad your hair & hubby found a way :-)

tks a lot for the update

[Boushewa]

My update for week 2 and 3 I believe. I've been trying heatless or minimum heat styles. I can't really comment on the shedding as to whether it has changed because I've been wearing my hair in a style that doesn't require combing. Gonna switch that up and see how things look.

[nunaavane]

great girl ! let us know ok? tks so much for updating :-)

[dixonjada10]

I am in!

[nunaavane]

[nunaavane]

great ! heat is really not good when we try to fight breakage...

be very welcome :-)

[EmbryMyShiningStar]

I'm down for the challenge. This is right on time because I have been experiencing massive shedding and breaking. I did a trim last week and it has helped a lot with the breaking however the shedding is still out of control.

[nunaavane]

you're so welcome in :-)

trim will help get fuller hair for sure, hope oyu'll find some time to watch the "shedding : how to control" video :-)

[nunaavane]

[Boushewa]

Week 1 I guess: I did the caramel treatment as you outlined in 1 of your videos. Washed my hair. I decided to go heatless so I twisted the front and did bantu knots in the back. Tomorrow, I'm taking the bantus out and wearing out. I'm not sure i I will do the caramel treatment every week but for sure atleast every 2 weeks.

[nunaavane]

this is so great, i love the caramel treatment, so good for stretching periods :-)

hope you'll love your look tomorrow :-)

[abdeeturt]

Black strap molasses is good for shedding.

I dont have breakage or shedding but I have used equal amounts of molasses and a moisturising conditioner overnight and it made my hair so soft.

I recommend it.

[nunaavane]

yes ! i like it too ! tks for the reminder ! ! i will def use it this tuesday for my Dc !

[nacole129]

[j80edwards]

Great challenge. I am joining. I am not having a lot of breakage, but it's enough for me to notice. I have been using too many protein based products, so my hair needs moisture. I did my first hot oil treatment today. I added a small amount of garlic oil to some olive oil. Then I shampooed with Loreal's Everpure Moisture Sulphate free shampoo and deep conditioned with Slik Elements Cholesterol with oils mixed in.

[nunaavane]

that seems great ! i love what you did, i also plan to use my garlic cloves in my evoo for my hot oils treatments 1 x week

[femmeracine]

I'm your girl, i relaxed my hair yesterday , so i think this challenge is one time !!

[macheriecoco]

I am SO in!! I'm having severe breakage from over-processing (relaxer) and post partum shedding :(.

I will try your garlic and EVOO 1x per week (or maybe every other week)

Hot oil pre-poo of EVOO, EVCO, JBCO 1x per week

Henna 1x per month

Aphogee 2 step protein 1x per 6 weeks

Roux Porosity Control 1x per 2 weeks

Deep Condition w/ Aveda Damage Remedy or Oyin Honey Hemp or Aveda Brilliant

Leave In Lacio Lacio

I will do my stretch until April 30 that is total of 4 months. So mayonaise mixed avocado oil, olive oil, for 30 minutes or an hour will be my protein treatment. Deep conditioner with honey will be used for my deep conditioning. I have not decided which deep conditioner I will use.
