Hi all,
I've been growing my hair out for about 3 years & just started the CG method yesterday. I'm planning to take care of my curls as best as I can, with only natural products as much as possible. I just did a BS clarification with an ACV rinse. I'm using a sulfate free poo & cond (Shea Moisture gold label). So far my hair seems to be less frizzy & is not knotting as easy.
My plan is to see just how far I can grow it. My goal is to have hair that looks as good & is healthy as can be. As far as I can tell, my hair is between a 3A to 3B curl type, low porosity, med to high density & is between med to corse thickness. I don't use heat & my hair has not been chemically altered since 2012. I had it colored at a hair salon franchise training class 3 times, before I learned what color can do to hair. I do rock a bit in my sleep, which is not good for long curly hair. I have yet to try using stuff like satin/silk pillow cases, sleep caps, braiding or putting my hair up to reduce damage. I can't find any split or damaged ends yet & almost all my sheds that I look at have the little white ball/bulb on the end.
I've lived in Cali my whole life before moving to FL recently. I've been vegan for 2 1/2 years & am trying to live a simple and healthy lifestyle. I'm ready to learn & I'm sure I'll have lots of questions for the curly pros on here.
PS; sorry for the lame avi pic, I'll have to take a better one & post it up. What shirt color is best to use for a hair pic, with my color?

Thanks for the welcome :hello2:
Yup, I know they are not to be done often. I've never clarified before & I prolly had lots of build up from cones & stuff. I doubt I'll be doing them that often, now that I'm not using sulfates & non H20 soluble cones.
Not sure, that was the first time I used it. Not sure if it's light or not. I had BS mixed with it at a: 1 BS to 3 Poo ratio. I guess each Shea Moisture label has different protein levels. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to my hair, other then knowing if it's frizzy or tangly. It's hard for me to notice subtle differences in my hair. I need to learn how to be more observant with my hair.
