Hello beautiful long hair community !
This is me again posting a hair update including pictures from my current hair , not sure if this is the 18th month or the 19th (to be honest) . I don't personally like bathroom photos but I took advantage of the good natural lightning today.
Let's go to my hair routine: I have been using a straightening shampoo & conditioner that contain keratin (which is a natural protein that I am obsessed with) .
In frizzy days like today I also apply a hair oil from Lòreal and try not to wash my hair very often because it dries out like hell.
Hope you have a nice weekend.
Very nice pictures. Have you had any trims? Hair dying etc.? Looks great.
Thank you.
I havent had any trims yet . I did dyed it a few months ago (my natural color is not black). The lighter strands you see on the pictures is just the dye fading out haha.
Looks great, keep it growing man!
Lookin great! What specific products do you use? My hair gets really dry too after washing unless I use a heap of conditioner.
I would greatly desire the pin straight look, but being 1/2 Brazilian I have my mom's thick hair with a lot of body. I use a flat iron on occasion, but not everyday!
Thanks for your reply :)
I live in Argentina, so I dont know if the products I use will be available in your place because I dont know where you live.
I can recommend any shampoo / conditioner that contains Keratin. That is a product that restores your hair, seals the cuticles and straightens it.
The oil I use is also from Loreal ( this is the oil http://www.enamodate.com/cm/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/loreal.jpg )
Sometimes I use a leave in conditioner from a local brand that contains argan oil and caviar extract.
The key to avoid dry hair is not to wash every single day because shampoo gets rid of the natural oils and that damages your hair. If you have natural dry hair is recommended not to wash to often.
Thx for the info. I don't wash it every day. I probably don't wash it enough! I actually use a shower cap to keep it dry in the shower. I could only find pink and flower patterned caps so I settled for one with a random colored rectangles pattern. Clearly these were intended for women, but since I usually shower alone, I don't think anyone will be able to spot me wearing it :-)
Hello back at you, beautiful long hair Dave-AR !
Holy Shinnikes - you've got beautiful hair...
Thanks for your -as usual- kind comments , fitz :)
Hi Dave,
I must say I am loving that hair man! I will never ever have hair that straight! I think it would be cool to see how it looks on me. You are making excellent progress my friend! You look great in any kind of lighting so don't worry about that! I am inspired by these photos and thank you for posting them! Please keep it growing and flowing!

Hi Ted,
Thanks for you nice comments :)
I think you should try some straightening shampoos , they might help you straighten your hair and they are no damaging at all.
Please stay well
Lookin great Dave! Thanx for your posts and keep it growin!

Thank you very much.
I surely will keep on growing :)
Hey Dave! Absolutely Love your hair, bro! Looks fantastic!
Thank you very much, Raul. Tryin' to take care of it as much as I can and trying new things out :)
Stay well.
WOW Dave, just stunning. The shine/texture and overall look in those pictures is something I would love to achieve...unfortunately I've not been able to find the right combination of oils/shampoo/conditioner to get it. I keep telling myself I need a little more length, but as it gets longer the color gets lighter too!
What a great update, congrats on the fine progress you've made!

Thanks Tommy,
I think your hair is pretty similar to what you see in my pictures. Its just that you don't realize!
Yes, its all about playing and trying different products to find out what works best for you. I think that is what makes our journey even cooler.
BTW, cant wait for your update !
Wow... O_O
Absolutely stunning.
Thank you very much for your nice reply :)
