Today(11/14/09) I got a relaxer (at 8 weeks -OR- 2 Months post) and here are the results(see Pic on the right -->) I can't even beliece this is really my hair(but it is... lol :-D ) I've been consistant with my wash, deep condition,  greasing my scalp with JBCO, Moisturize , seal and Protect with Buns. I'm still taking Noritress Hair vitamins. but once it run out I will be switching to the vitamin shop brand for hair, skin, and nails, only because I can't afford to keep on paying for the shipping right now. once I get my money right I will probably switch back to it and just order them in bulks )

Thru her channel I found Gennifer's you tube channel thru her youtube channel I found her Healthytextures site I just had to become a member. Once I became a member I then Purchase her DIY  Rollersetting video (extremely useful)..... I was on a serious journey to a healthier head of hair..... I spent an intire day doing my research (I dont regret it... it was worth it) I learned sooo much, took notes( I was completely clueless ) and the next day I went to a Beauty Supply Store to purchase the products I would need to start my hair journey today

I remember seeing a hair vitamin in a black hair magazine I believe it's called Nouritress. I will go ahead and order it.
