How are you?

wanna see the how long your hair had become!

@whatoyou Hey! My hair is doing well... I will be sure to give a better update in an upcoming video so you can see how it's coming along :)

[MrJerkinboy1]

how do you feel about olive oil

[JustThisGirl1]

@MrJerkinboy1 Olive is a good, light oil to use on your hair.. I put it right up there with avocado and coconut oil. For me, olive oil is a little pricey, so I usually cook with it rather than use it on my hair.. but it happens to be a lot easier to find than avocado or coconut so feel free to use it!

Thank you for responding. I wanted to ask you the patene mask was very hard to find last week but I went to a beauty supply store to find it. Is there something else I could use in the future in the place of this?

[JustThisGirl1]

@sweetie46100 Any moisturizing deep conditioner could be used. Really, the pantene mask is just a thick, moisturizing deep conditioner, so it could be substituted with anything like that.

How often should you deep contition your hair? Once every 2 weeks? Once a month? etc. I have a few hair growth techniques that worked for me and I was wondering have you tried these also: massage scalp, wrap hair with silk cloth every night, olive oil products, Doo grow grease, and lastly Garnier Fructice shampoo and conditoner.

I couln't really hear this video very well. (the sound on my laptop isn't very good). Your hair looks awesome btw. I had a few questions. One, how many days before a relaxer should I deep condition it? Also, what type of relaxer would you prefer? And my last question, if I buy the relaxer that comes with all of those extra conditoners would that be too much to do a deep conditioner before using that particular relaxer??

Hi i am from the uk and as a result of watching your vid have bought the nexxuss protein treatment emergencee - although it was hard to find. I just wanted to ask how long you have been using this product and how often do you use it. As it sounds like a really good protein treatment. God Bless you.

I really think your wonderful. What do you think of apfhogee protein treatment to use?. I also dont have a dryer so how can i deep condition without? I really do appreciate your response.

@MiserableLies That would be Phyto Organics "Enphuse". It's the protein reconstructor for that product line.

what's the name of the first product in the tube bottle?
