			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-613" href="http://www.nunaavane.com/2010/06/grow-your-hair/my-progresses-3/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-613" title="my progresses" src="http://www.nunaavane.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/my-progresses2.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="290" /></a>I get that asked soooo many times and that it is just crazy, lol, because I am not even where I want to be when it comes to my ultimate hair goal! Look at my ends, they need to be trimmed but ppl still ask me&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color: #c426ab;"><em>“Nunaa how did you got your hair to grow so long?” …</em></span></p>
<p>Now first my hair is not long (according to haterz I get on my youtube channel, anyways, lol), but my hair is DEFINITELY longer than ANYTHING I have ever dreamt of!!! Thank you Lord !</p>
<p>Tks to all of you that are liking my hair &amp; progresses btw, lol</p>
<p>Then to my opinion, and I explain it live in this video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB3tduuq-m0"><span style="color: #ff00ff;">here</span></a>, it is not about:</p>
<p>* Products<br />
* Being mixed race (how stupid…pfff)<br />
* Miracle growth aids<br />
* Being lucky<br />
* Etc….</p>
<p>It is all about</p>
<p>* RETAINING your length!<br />
* TAKING GOOD CARE of your hair!<br />
* Finding what works FOR YOU!!!!!<span id="more-595"></span></p>
<p>It took me about<span style="color: #ff99cc;"> <span style="color: #c11fbd;">3 to 6 months to understand that my hair was not protein best friend</span></span>! lol, then <span style="color: #ff99cc;"><span style="color: #c11fbd;">another 6 months to</span> <span style="color: #c11fbd;">realize my hair LOVES ME to LEAVE IT ALONE</span></span> ! looool</p>
<p>But it <span style="color: #c11fbd;">only took 1 month</span> for me to understand that <span style="color: #c11fbd;">my hair was deeply crazily in love with DEEP CONDITIONING!!!</span></p>
<p>So I have no miracle equation to give you, I am sorry,</p>
<p>I have no miracle products to advise, sorry…</p>
<p>I can only do what I do : share what worked FOR ME, and telling you all that WHAT WORKS 4 me…MAY NOT WORK 4 you <img src='http://www.nunaavane.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':-(' class='wp-smiley' />  and I regret it</p>
<p>You have to <span style="color: #c11fbd;">learn YOUR</span> hair; you have to<span style="color: #c11fbd;"> listen to YOUR</span> hair needs; you have to <span style="color: #c11fbd;">treat YOUR </span>hair with good care!</p>
<p>I get a lot of women (&amp; men believe it or not) that are asking me to help them, and I ALWAYS ANSWER! God gave me that strength, I will do it until He stops me, lol, but to help you, I have to learn more!</p>
<p>That’s why I very often ask</p>
<p>* What is your hair type?<br />
* What are the products you use?<br />
* How do you treat your hair internally?<br />
* How often do you wash, condition?<br />
* How do you protect your hair? (if you do so???)</p>
<p>Because I can’t help if I have only that type of message “Nunaa my hair is breaking please help me…”</p>
<p>I want to help but I can’t do so if you don’t provide enough infos…</p>
<p>So yeah growing hair is a personal story&#8230;</p>
<p>And please don&#8217;t tell me hair doesn&#8217;t grow, <span style="color: #c11fbd;">Everybody&#8217;s hair is growing</span> (just like teeth grew, nails, average length etc&#8230;), your question should be HOW DO I RETAIN MY LENGTH?? lol</p>
<p>Answer very soon in another post <img src='http://www.nunaavane.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>I just got a day of work today, it was so great&#8230; So yesterday night, i did my hot oil treatment (stay tunned for the video coming soon) with my olive oil marinated with garlic cloves&#8230;</p>
<p>Slept with that overnight</p>
<p>This morning i lathered 2 x with my Keracare hydrating detangling shampoo diluted</p>
<p>Air dried for about 15 mns then DC with a moisturizing mix : Alter ego garlic conditioner + Silk Elements megasilk moisturizing conditioner</p>
<p><span id="more-399"></span></p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-400" href="http://www.nunaavane.com/2010/03/off-work/silk-elements/"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-400" title="silk elements" src="http://www.nunaavane.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/silk-elements-300x276.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="276" /></a></p>
<p>Shower cap on &amp; went under the hood dryer for about 30 mns, rinsed &amp; applied my leave-ins&#8230; Then i air dried in a bun, it was so shiny here that my hair dried as quickly as a charm, lol</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t wait for spring to be definitely here, co-washes are going to be da bomb !</p>
<p>Tonight plans :</p>
<p>release the bun,</p>
<p>apply my JBCO to scalp,</p>
<p>moisturize &amp; seal using ORS hair lotion + growth oil mix,</p>
<p>baggy ends,</p>
<p>re-bun &amp; scarf before bed !</p>
<p>I will determine my breakage level at my next wash day <img src='http://www.nunaavane.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

</strong></p>
<p>Towel blotting: I pretty much think we all do that, lol. Towel blotting is when put our towel on our hair to absorb the excess water.</p>
<p>T-shirt drying: the exact same thing but using… an old t-shirt (hey I never said dirty t-shirt, loool)</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-385" href="http://www.nunaavane.com/2010/03/towel-blotting-vs-t-shirt-drying/tee-shirt-dry-les-derniers-seront-les-premiers-wati-b/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-385" title="tee-shirt-dry-les-derniers-seront-les-premiers-wati-b" src="http://www.nunaavane.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/tee-shirt-dry-les-derniers-seront-les-premiers-wati-b.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>A lot of people started to use a t-shirt to remove the excess water in their hair as opposed to using a towel because of the material of the towels. They say the cotton in the regular basic t-shirt is mild and thus not rubbing on our hair, making it frizzing, electricity static etc…</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">My opinion:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span id="more-383"></span><br />
</span></p>
<p>I tried both, and yes there is a difference. The t-shirt leaves the hair “softer” than the towel does… But my main concern is the time it takes: soooo long compared to using the towel! Towels are made in a material that is being water absorbent, more than a lot of materials…</p>
<p>T-shirt is absorbing the water…and remains completely wet! Well that what happened to me, lol</p>
<p>Now my question is: unless you are rubbing your head vigorously with the towel, which we all know is BAD! lol, well why risk to catch a cold, and take a longer time to have your hair out of any excessive water?</p>
<p>Cause I tried the t-shirt drying in summer time!!! And I caught a cold!!! Ok so maybe there is something I do wrong, because how comes I never end up with frizzy, static hair when I use my towel?</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">The answer is:</span> it’s all about preferences! lol, we are all different, what works for you… y’all know the end J</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok so this is a picture of my hair taken at my last relaxer October 2009</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-223" href="http://www.nunaavane.com/2010/01/upset/goals-for-2010/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-223" title="Goals for 2010" src="http://www.nunaavane.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Goals-for-2010-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>As you can see at that moment i wanted to be BSB for May 2010, but in the meantime, i changed my mind &amp; decided to reach BSB for Feb 2010..</p>
<p>But today, i am 5 weeks away from my next relaxer, and i feel i will not be there&#8230; So it&#8217;s nothing important, but i feel frustrated&#8230;</p>
<p>So i guess i&#8217;ll just go back to my previous wish, BSB for May 2010, my birthday, lol</p>
<p>And thinking about it, it will help me to reach my main last ultimate length goal, BSL for Dec 2010 : i want a thick healthy BSL by the end of 2010, so for this purpose i will trim next relaxer,  so that my hair grows neat with beautiful ends&#8230;</p>
<p>Now i decided (along with a KISS sister), that i will not show my hair length before our common next relaxer, which is in February&#8230; So stay tunned ppl <img src='http://www.nunaavane.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: medium; font-family: georgia;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-9" title="picture-52" src="http://www.nunaavane.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/picture-52-249x300.png" alt="picture-52" width="249" height="300" /><span style="color: #dd7022;">They say</span></span> : Silk Elements Mega Cholesterol is a deep conditioning treatment for dry, damaged, chemically treated and over-processed hair.</p>
<ul style="color: #333333;">
<li>Infused with silk protein, moisturizers and Panthenol Pro-Vitamin B5</li>
<li>Strengthens weak hair</li>
<li>Leaves hair soft and silky to the souch</li>
<li>Repair damaged and over-processed hair</li>
<li>Rehydrates dry, brittle hair</li>
<li>Restores moisture</li>
<li>Improves elasticity</li>
<li>Adds body</li>
</ul>
<p>Mega Cholesterol is an intensive conditioning treatment specially formulated with Panthenol Pro-Vitamin B5. This unique formula helps strengthen, moisturize and protect against split ends while detangling dry, damaged hair.</p>
<p><span style="color: #dd7022;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I think</span></span></span> : they are a 100% right !! i give this product a 5/5. When ever i have a new product i try it on its own to see what it really will be doing on my hair.</p>
<p><span id="more-8"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Here is what i did </span></span>: Friday night, 5th of june, i parted my hair in 3 sections and applied the conditioner just like i would do with a relaxer. Making sure my whole hair was covered, from root to tips, nape &amp; edges with double dose of the product.<br />
Covered with a plastic cap, added a scarf &amp; went 2 bed.<br />
Next day i just rinsed, co-washed with my Tresemme vit E. moisture rich conditioner.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The results</span></span> : LOVE ! lol, i have never experienced that bouncy hair, i just air dried using my after wash products, and the air drying was a pure moment of love. My hair was soft, from the moment i rinsed the product to when it was a 100% dry. I don&#8217;t have a lot of this product, but i will def repurchase this one ! A keeper !</p>
