Sally Hansen Continuous Treatment STRENGTH Formula REVIEW

Lately I've been lusting after longer nails. It could very well be just a phase I'm going through but for whatever reason I am growing them out. My nails grow pretty quick, and they arent weak my any means, but I always get chips, cracks, and tears, so I went to walgreens yesterday and bought a nail strengthner after reading this article.

The most important info I got from this article was either using a nylon or protien strengthener. If your nails and hands are not suffering from dryness, use the protien because it will lock in the moisture you already have in there. If you need moisture, buy a great cuticle pen and hand moisturizer.
I use one by beautiControl, which works great, but when it runs out I plan to switch to the Sally Hansen brand, because its more readily available to me.

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Leave-In Conditioner

I saw a blogger that uses this for her wash and gos (which look amazing, I think its SpicedHoney), and I went out and bought it. I was trying to perfect my wash and go since I am completely natural. After a tremendous fail, I put this product aside and never thought about it again. One night I decided to try it for a braid out and I was fully surprised by the results. This is now my go to for defined braidouts. LOVE IT!!!

WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING WITH MY HAIR:

When I'm working out I have to co-wash everyday (I'm a heavy sweater). I co-wash with LA Bella: Conditioner w/Olive Coconut & Castor Oil Los Caballos, Skala Avocado or Skala G3 conditioner. After that I use some Garnier Fructis Leave In Conditioning Cream and Carol's Daughter Some of Maugarites Magic, to do a braid and curl creating at least 15. I let it air dry and when I took it down, it looked really defined and shiny. No pictures because my charger is nowhere to be found. At night I re-braid about 8 sections using a little Garnier and SOMM, sealed with grape seed oil. I braid a little past half way down, smooth the ends with more Garnier and finally put a flexi-rod on the end. The next morning I fluff my hair out go. For me the braid and curl stretches my hair out and allows it to hang better. 3-4 times a week I do a scalp message with a mixture of oils. The braid and curl usually lasts a week to a week and a half.

I cant wait for the weather to cool so I can go back to flatironing my hair.
