My Results :   
My hair has a tendency to shed at this time of the year, and goes through a few changes along with the season. This time, i figured i would get a jump on the shedding with a garlic conditioner and a protein strengthening conditioner. Well, my Shi-Naturals Garlic Conditioner for Shedding really curbed my shedding a lot. Now for the protein conditioner. I wanted to try something different. Why? I don't know. The Shi-Naturals products work perfectly on my hair. But, being the product junkie that i am. I wanted to try something different. I saw the Every Strand Keratin Hair Treatment for Chemically Treated Hair conditioner. The price was right so why not give it a try. The conditioner is a thick formulation just the way i like my conditioners to be. It has a pleasant smell (i love a good smelling conditioner). So, i apply the conditioner in sections. Concentrating on the roots. I'm 13.5 weeks post with 2 inches of new growth (thanks Shi-Natural Grow Potion). I then put on my plastic cap, wrap a towel around my head. I let the conditioner sit for 1 hour without heat. I rinse. This is where the fun begins (*sarcastically*). As i'm rinsing, i can feel my hair clumping up. I keep rinsing, making sure all of this conditioner is out. I apply my leave in's, air dry about 80%. I was almost in tears!!! I could not get the comb thru my hair.It took me almost 4 hours to detangle, and i lost a lot of hair :o) This conditioner totally did not agree with my hair. How do i know it was this conditioner? Because it was the only thing i tried that was different. The moral of the story? If something works for you. Stick with it. I hope i've learned my lesson. Until i see something else, lol
 
Rating :
Sorry, but i gonna have to give this conditioner a big thumbs down. This is just my opinion :o)

Visualizing Waistlength!!

4 inches to waistlength


Here i go again. I'm 2 months post in the picture. I'm using conditioner to stretch the roots to see growth progress. This time my stretch will be 4 months. My last stretch was 6 months. I won't stretch that long again because my fine hair cannot take it. I made good progress with the last stretch, but had to cut most of the progress away. My ends looked terrible after the 6 month stretch.

For the next 2 months i will keep up with my regimen :

co-washing on dry hair 2x weekly (with Shi-Naturals moisture conditioner or protein conditioner)
air drying only
applying Shi-Naturals Grow Potion every day
scalp massages everyday when applying grow potion
applying Shi-Naturals Creamy Leave-In
sealing with almond oil or grapeseed oil

Henna 2x a month
Shi Naturals Herbal Tea Rinse Growth (whenever i have shedding issues)
