i can't get over the health of your hair. ----------------------------------- Thanks!! I really don't do much with my hair (in comparison to some). Just try to keep it moisturized and in good condition. So your compliment is really flattering. :)
Gorgeous hair!!! It looks so healthy I love it!!! ----------------------------------------- Thank you! I deep conditioned and my hair did feel extra moisturized.
just wondering what is shingling ---------------------------------------------- Shingling is a hair styling technique where you brush and smooth the hair one section at a time to promote curl formation. It's a Miss Jessie technique and I looked up how to do it on their website.
good for you girlie! i remember that trim/cut. -------------------------------------------- Thanks!!
It was good to recover the length. Even so, I have been taking Nioxin vitamins for the last month. Which I believe has sped up my hair growth (though I won't know by how much until I straighten my hair again). I've also been taking it with Azo cranberry pills, so everything seems to be working out okay this time around.
i can see the difference in the way your hair hangs. It still looks nice though. Please be careful who you let handle your hair. --------------------------------------------------- I'll definitely be the only one cutting my hair from now on. And once I improve my technique, I'll be the only one flat ironing it too.
This may be TMI but, I kept getting UTI's (urinary tract infections) while on the Nioxin, and I had never had one previously. After the first one I discontinued the Nioxin. Then I thought it was maybe a coincidence and started taking them again a few months later. Soon I got another one. So I stopped taking them again.
One of the ingredients is Saw Palmetto (usually sold to treat men's urinary issues) and another is Bladderwack. My doctor said the Nioxin looked fine, but I discontinued it anyway.
I really, really, REALLY hated to do that, b/c otherwise I LOVED the Nioxin. My skin improved dramatically (not that it was bad). It was noticeably softer and just healthier looking. My shedding decreased amazingly so. I usually lose a ton of hair at each shampoo. But while on Nioxin I lost very little. Which then caused my hair to start noticeably thickening (which I loved). I've toyed with the idea of taking the supplement every other day and seeing what happens.
