Hair Dare Update

So I have been washing it only a few times a week and deep conditioning once a week.  I'm still losing some strands but not as many as I used to.  I've been trying to wear it down more as well.  I'm going to get a picture tonight or tomorrow to update.

I also got a free sample of Garnier Fructis Fall Fight which is supposed to keep hair from breaking so often.  I gave it a try (both shampoo and conditioner) and my hair felt amazing.  I'm going to pick up both of them the next time we go shopping and see if I notice any improvement.

Has anyone tried Wen hair products? I'm thinking that will be my next step if I can't get rid of all of this dryness and frizz.  It's just so expensive to start up and it makes me nervous.

The Hair Dare: 365 days of no cutting, dying, or styling

I really miss having long hair.  After I had Conrad, my hair got super brittle and thinned out a LOT.  I'm still having breakage issues.  I recently had my hair trimmed and dyed (highlighted) May 1st, right before our wedding.  (That reminds me, I should make a post with our wedding photos!)

From today forward I will no longer be styling my hair with any products, or using heat.  I am going to buy a wide tooth comb and use it instead of a brush.  My hair will air dry and I will take monthly pictures to monitor my progress.  I am taking a pre-natal vitamin, but will take a different vitamin for hair skin and nails after baby boy arrives.

I'm curious to see how my hair will behave while pregnant! It's worth a shot.  If I have to do this twice, I totally will.  I will update with a picture later today!

My 365 day challenge begins.... NOW.

Start: July 26, 2012
End: July 26, 2013

RULES:
-Deep condition only 1x a week
-Wash hair a maximum of 3x a week
-No hair styling products
-No heat styling
-Use a wide tooth comb to untangle hair
-No dying
-No new hair styles, trims only every 3-4 months
-Update with a picture once a month


I will try to get a better picture in the next few days.  All I have is my iphone right now until I can find a memory card for my good camera.  But as you can see, it is dry, the color is faded, it's very brittle and is super wavy.
