Yay! My Split End Prevention Plan :)

As some of you know, I am obsessed with long hair. I've managed to grow my very fine hair down

to my waist. This is very exciting for me...and I'd like to see just how much longer I can get it. Most
of the time my hair damages very, very easily...esp. in the winter months. I recently purchased some
"Everyday Shea"  shampoo and conditioner in huge bottles from Whole Foods market. The formula is
so rich that it made my hair look dirty after 2 washings. I was a bit disappointed, and tried to figure
that maybe I would use it for every other washing. I did that for awhile. After being disappointed about
both extremes of extremely oily, then extremely dry and static-y, I opted to experiment. I washed
with a regular shampoo (you can use just about anything that has a very effective surfectant), then
followed with "Everyday Shea" shampoo. Concentrate the shampoo on the roots, then use the rest
very lightly through the length. When using the conditioner, focus on the length, not the roots. Shea
butter is so rich that it works hard to saturate and protect. I follow this routine with argan oil, gel, or
a mixture of both. If you're going to use gel, use a kind that DOES NOT have alcohol in it. You can
find argan oil on Etsy.com. This stuff is so amazing! I only use about a quarter sized amount for my long
hair: it's just that rich. Otherwise I recommend Garnier Nutrisse hair oil. I've also read that jojoba oil
is an awesome option, as well (I have yet to try this one). Anyway, I hope you find this helpful. After
years of trying to pamper my hair and prevent damage, I have finally met with success. I hope you find
this helpful. My split ends are now few and far between! Praises be! :D
