Big chopped on January 30, 2013 I wash once a week with a Shea moisture Deep cleansing African black soap shampoo and co-wash with an ordinary moisture conditioner as I feel the need. I apply my castor oil mix [includes castor oil, coconut oil and tea tree oil] to my scalp nightly or every other night as well as to seal my ends and also practice the green house effect method nightly.I also spray my hair daily with a mixture of apple cider vinegar, a leave-in conditioner, argan oil and water.Never had any breakouts; I drink more than a gallon of water a day [no sodas] Two days until bottle #3 is finished [Dates are placed on each picture]
