1. What do you put on your hair/ or do to your hair to make it grow?<br />
<br />
a. In my opinion no product can MAKE your hair grow. Your hair naturally grows from your scalp. I believe. You must properly care for your hair to retain the length and health of your hair that grows from your scalp regularly.<br />
<br />
2. What products did you use when you first started your hair journey?<br />
<br />
a. Many of my products remain the same. I stuck with Crème of Nature detangling shampoo (blue bottle) until it was discontinued and the Crème of Nature conditioner (purple bottle) which has also been discontinued. I swore by s curl as my moisturizer, and I used kemi oil as my oil.<br />
<br />
3. How fast does your hair grow?<br />
<br />
a. My hair grow approx. ½ inches a month<br />
<br />
4. Did you clip your own ends?<br />
<br />
a. I had my ends clipped professionally.<br />
<br />
5. How often did you go to the salon?<br />
<br />
a. I would go to the salon for relaxers/ trims or when I wanted my hair professionally styled only.<br />
<br />
6. Did you relax your own hair?<br />
<br />
a. With an exception of the last months I was relaxed I did not relax my own hair. I would have it done professionally for sanity reasons. My relaxer before my set back (see my I have an announcement to make video) I tex laxed and like the results but It was time consuming.<br />
<br />
7. What relaxer did you use when you were relaxed?<br />
<br />
a. I used Motions with Oil moisturizer<br />
<br />
8. Were you bone straight relaxed or tex laxed?<br />
<br />
a. I was bone straight relaxed most of my relaxed hair journey. My last few relaxers were tex laxed.’<br />
<br />
9. How often did you relax?<br />
<br />
a. At the beginning of my journey I relaxed faithfully every 6 week s( I know sad..). Once I realized that I could stretch my relaxers I begin to relax every 8-10 weeks, my hair thanked me for it!:-) <br />
<br />
10. How often did you wrap your hair, do you recommend it?<br />
<br />
a. I did not wrap my hair unless I had a fresh relaxer for 2 weeks a time. If you choose to wrap your hair practice routing the direction nightly.<br />
<br />
11. Is it too late for me to join the Grow with me challenge?<br />
<br />
a. Its never too late? Create a regimen and get started!<br />
<br />
12. Would you say that sew ins help with your hair growth?<br />
<br />
a. Sews in were my go to protective style. They were cute and they allowed me to retain length. I did however experience a set back when removing it once due to not properly detangling. So that is definitely something to keep in mind when choosing sew in as your protective style.<br />
<br />
13. How often did you flat iron?<br />
<br />
a. I did not flat iron often. In fact I did not use much heat at all. I got my hair flat ironed right after my relaxers only. There after I would air dry after each wash and wear protective styles (buns, twist out, sews etc)<br />
<br />
14. How often did you deep condition?<br />
<br />
a. Once a week or after each wash<br />
<br />
15. How often did you wash your hair?<br />
<br />
a. I washed at least once a week, because that is when I felt my I wash my hair needed it. Wash as often or less often as your feel is necessary to each its own<br />
<br />
16. When you first started your hair journey and your hair was shorter, how did you style your hair/<br />
<br />
a. I would wear phony pony tails, or sews ins<br />
<br />
17. What steps would you recommend to recover from a set back?<br />
<br />
a. Give your hair some TLC. Be faithful and consistent with your regimen. Be sure to faithfully moisturize and oil your hair to prevent drying and more breakage.<br />
<br />
18. Did you take any supplements to help your hair grow?<br />
<br />
a. No . I take everyday multivitamins. Which I think is always a plus and I drink plenty of water.<br />
<br />
19. Do you think you have good hair?<br />
<br />
a. If by good hair, you mean hair that grows out of my scalp then yes. Otherwise I don’t think there is a such thing as good hair or bad hair<br />
<br />
20. What is your regimen?<br />
<br />
a. For my most recent relaxed hair regimen see my “relaxed hair :regimen 2010” video.<br />
<br />
21. Why did you go natural?<br />
<br />
a. I have had relaxed hair since I can remember. I’ve reached a point in my life where I feel its time for a change And that’s where my natural hair comes in<br />
<br />

Sew in routine over view:<br />
<ul><li>Moisturize hair under sew in once a week or as needed, follow up with oil, to see how I do this watch(on dry hair only) this my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5WnJJBrZ_o">How I wash, Moisturize and Oil my hair in A sew in Video</a> </li>
<li>Wash weave hair every two weeks with Dove moisture therapy shampoo and follow up with conditioner</li>
<li>Wash my regular hair (braids under sew in) with my reg shampoo and conditioner(I dilute shampoo and conditioner so the it can be easily rinsed out)</li>
<li>I oil my scalp with Castor oil one every two weeks or as needed</li>
<li>To dry weave hair I apply a no frizz serum (ganier sleek and shine or Sally Beauty's version of Biosilk leave in serum) and then blow dry 100% and style</li>
<li>To dry my braided hair underneath the sew in I apply a heat protectant spray to braids and blow dry on medium setting until hair is about 80% dry and then I let it air dry </li>
<li>I only wear satin scarfs</li>
<li>I may moisturize my left out hair in front and my edges and nape areas daily sicne they are exposde to air more easily while my hair is sewn in </li>

Here is a quick over view:<br />
<br />
<br />
MY REGIMEN<br />
<br />
Wash once a week <br />
Wash with Crème n Nature shampoo(Blue bottle) <br />
Condition with Crème n Nature conditioner(purple bottle) mixed with At One Botanicle Reconstructor conditioner (let sit for 5 mins then rinse out)<br />
Towel Dry 15 mins. <br />
I deep condition once a week after one of my washes with Motions(DPT-Deep Penetrating Treatment) ,and sit under a hooded dryer with shower cap over my head for 15 mins or just -walk around for 45 if you want to avoid heat<br />
<br />
Rinse out deep conditioner thoroughly <br />
Towel Dry for 15 mins <br />
I add leave conditioner (it’s an At one Botanical brand) and detangle my hair in four sections, with a wide tooth comb. <br />
I add my moisturizer -Softsheen Carson finishing mist-green bottle or scurl-blue/white bottle(on wet hair), i rotate between the two. And Softsheen Carson Moisturizing Lotion(on dryhair) <br />
Add Oil (Kemi Oyl) <br />
Add Serum for sleekness and shine(Ganier Sleek and shine) <br />
Air dry in a pony tail with roller on the end <br />
Cover with satin scarf and let air dry over night <br />
Wear pinned up or bunned until next wash <br />
Moisturize and oil twice a day( once in morning and once before bed at night) <br />
<br />
*FYI*<br />
<br />
I AM A RELAXED HEAD! not sure what texture.<br />
relaxer: MOTIONS oil mositurizer ( not sure if its lye or no lye but this is what it looks like http://www.sallybeauty.com/Moisturizer-Hair-Relaxer/SBS-126020default,pd.html )<br />

<br />
<br />
Protein treatment] ::I have decided to lay off of protein for awhile. If I feel my hair needs it I will Use the Aphogee two minute reconstructor.<br />

I am so hyped right now! I posted the "how to moisturize and oil your hair in a sew in"Check it out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5WnJJBrZ_o">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5WnJJBrZ_o</a> . This technique has always worked for me. Here is a quick overview:<br /><br /><ul><li>Wash human hair with a two in one shampoo/conditioner if possible.</li><li>Seperate into two half to wash weave and avoid tangling the hair, gently work shampoo/conditoner from shaft to end of hair.</li><li>Rinse Thoroughly.</li><li>To wash regular hair(braids) Dilute a dime size amount of shampoo/conditioner in a cup and pour over braids (repeat for every section).</li><li>Rinse hair thoroughly, rub braids to assure hair is rinsed properly.</li></ul><p>Once done washing follow the "How to Maintain your hair in a sew in" post below. </p><p>FYI: You can rub castor oil on your scalp to promote hair thickness from the root. This is also explained in the video linked above.</p><p>Any questions feel free to hit me up:-) Xo Vonni</p><p></p>♥Vonnique♥http://www.blogger.com/profile/03821868466465593674noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200021108117813414.post-31124230525413627822009-06-13T11:58:00.000-07:002010-06-26T18:55:25.449-07:00Sew-In MaintenanceHey yall!<br />
I am still adapting to this blogging thing..<br />
But I am so loving this sew in.. it is saving me so much time .<br />
As promised I will have a vid up soon on youtube on <span style="color:#cc66cc;">how to moisturize your hair underneath a sew in</span> and how to properly care for your hair once you take it out ..etc. In the mean time if ya are rockin a sew n like my self.<br />
<br />
<strong><em><span style="color:#cc66cc;">Make sure to :</span></em></strong><br />
1. Spray/rub scurl or any other moisturizer on your braids!!<br />
2. Then go over briads again with oil ( I use a lil squirt bottle to make it easier)<br />
3. Wash every 2-3 weeks to get rid of build up ( I dilute the shampoo with water in a cup etc)<br />
<br />
If you you are <strong><span style="color:#cc66cc;"><em>taking out a sew in</em></span></strong> <strong>ALWAYS.ALWAYS.. DETANGLE AND COMB OUT ALL SHEADED HAIR BEFORE YOU APPLY WATER OR WASH YOUR HAIR. or else ya hair will be a matted mess! I can't stress that enough.. I know I experience it!</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color:#ff99ff;"><em>To avoid this:</em></span><br />
</strong>1. Part into sections and apply a conditioner and detangle<br />
2.Let conditioner sit on hair for about 2 hrs or so<br />
3. Wash hair in shower to avoid hassel / Straight try not to rub or tanlge the hair too much<br />
4. Be sure to deep condition!! Your hair needs lots of TLC after being hidden for so long!<br />
