Fast Gro Challenge
This can be found under My faves link. I had an initial rough patch mixing too much protein with the moisture conditioner. My hair was so tangled that it took 7 hours for me to detangle it, it was a nightmare. So my advice is be careful with what you mix. If you find your hair snaps off easily and you have been using alot of products with protein. You may be having a protein overload. So will need to mix 3 parts hydrafuse to 1 part kerafuse. I use 2:1 and so far so good. Oh and ensure that the hair is properly detangled BEFORE you add the product.

Now in Week 3 of the challenge, pre pooed with CPR for about 3 hours, washed with Keracare Detangling shampoo, DC humecto (still the best thing yet for moisture) sprayed with Vitatress leave in treatment, seal with coconut oil will air dry.
Heading into week four, will pre poo with Hask placenta, wash with Keracare detangling shampoo and deep con with Mizani moisturfuse.
Week four was Ok cannot say it was a sell off. Going into week 5 this Sat/Sunday I plan to change things up a bit as I do not have the Mizani Flufy and I got some new stuff here goes. Will pre poo with Hesh brahmi Alma Oil overnight, wash with Keracare, DC with Alter EGO, then with Nexxus Humectress then roller set with Giovanni, seal with vatika oil.
Week five is done and I must say, I was pleased with the process (refer to "happier" blog) will do the same again for next weekend, week 6.
Well on second thought for week 6 I will do something different, I think its time for me to get a serious protein treatment. I have to be careful with this, Have to ensure that I detangle properly before I apply the product. Will overnight pre poo with alma oil then wash with purifying shampoo and,
a. Apply Kerafuse on clean, towel-dried hair
b. Dry completely without a plastic cap under a hot dryer
c. Rinse thoroughly with tepid water to remove all residues
d. Towel dry, apply Hydrafuse and cover the hair with a plastic cap and go under dryer for 10 minutes
e. Rinse thoroughly and towel dry apply some Mizani thermastrength and Pantene Pro V relaxed and natural wrap and set lotion or Keracare setting lotion; roller set and airdry/low hooded dryer setting.
Seal with Vatika oil.
Last weeks protein treatment was good it did let my hair feel stronger and I am having far less breaking. I am still unable to wear my hair out without trying to hide the spots where it looks too thin but I think that will take a while. i think the prob is growing out layers, when the back is so long and the middle short its hard for the ends NOT to look thin. So now into week 6 post relaxer and week 7 of the challenge. I am disappointed though not seeing the mad growth I would love to see considering that I increased my vitamin intake and startting to wonder if they make a difference.
Week 7 I will omit the clarifying since I did that last weeek. I will pre poo with my alma mix (overnight, wash with new CON shampoo do a 3:1 mix of Hydrafuse and Kerafuse DC, set with Giovanni and seal with almond oil. Rollerset and airdry/ low heat hooded dryer. Need some curl and bounce will try lottabody or Pantene relaxed and natural.
