can I have input?

[morguebabe]

I just tried cone free, sulfate free.. with ACV rinses for a month. new pics are up. Not sure if it's better or worse.

I think your older pics your hair looks more full. In the newer ones imo the hair looks more flat and stringy. What did you think? In the end stick with whichever way you like best.

I dont know I think they look nice, either way looks same to me:shrug:

[Furiana]

I prefer the sleekness of the newer pictures, but the stringier ends definitely make everything else look stringier, too. :neutral:

Looks aside, what makes it better to handle?

Yeah thats a good one!

[spidermom]

I like the new look, mostly because your ends look so nice after the trim. I didn't like Aubrey Organics products nor ACV rinses, so as to your methods - bleh! Don't mind me, though; go by what you like.

I think your hair looks its best in the May 9th picture, is there a difference in what you were using then?

That could be because I've trimmed in more bangs and front fringe, so from the back, the sides look thinner because they just aren't there anymore, they are now bangs.

I'm not sure if the stringy ends are the new method or if they are just cause my ends are sooo damaged, I'm really rough on them.

I'm not sure whats easier to handle. I think my scalp likes this the most as opposed to anything. I think its a little softer. Shrugs. I'm not really sure to be honest. I don't much of a difference.

Elphie - what May 9th picture?

I think the new pictures look shinier and healthier. The "full" pictures from before look kinda puffy to me. I did think the pic you labeled as using Giovanni TTTT CO looked nice, though.

I'm going to go with the people who say whichever you prefer, though. I loved the way AO Egyptian Henna shampoo and Clean Rinse left my hair, but hated the smell, so I abandoned a nice routine to experiment until I found something that didn't bug me and left me with nice hair.

I believe the stringyness is actually your waves being defined more. :)

Thats what I was kinda hoping. I'm going to stick out one more month of sulfate and cone free, and see if my waves get more wavey.

I know they are there... I'm just trying to encourage them.

That's what it looks like to me, too.

And IMO your hair hair looks nice, shiny and smooth, as opposed to a bit more fluffy earlier (I prefer smooth over fluffy, but I guess I'm biased since I've lived with incredibly annoying super-fluffy hair until I recently started doing WO).

But it's your hair, and only you can decide whether or not this routine feels right for you. So it's probably a good idea to give it some more time, as you said, to get used to it... and then decide if you want to continue or not. :)

It appears the new routine is keeping your hair very moisurized, and your waves enhanced. The ends look like maybe they are still a bit damp? I would give it a little more time before switching routines again. Is the new routine making hair more manageable?

[Feye]

Hi, your hair is very beautiful. It's difficult to tell because it could be different light/flash/etc, but it looks a little shinier now. I would choose the one set of products that makes your hair tangle the least and which keeps your ends in best non-damaged shape, and then go for that.

I second it. I think that in the new pics your hair does look healthier. Maybe you never had your hair treated like that, and it seems weird and unusual to you, so you think something's wrong. I like the new pics better. :flower:

[Aditi]

I like your new photos of your hair looks very smooth and silky to me.

[morguebabe]

Thanks everyone one. I'll try one more month no cone, but switching conditoners b/c I can't bear the smell of the aubry one i have.

[Furiana]

Good luck! I hope you get the best of both worlds. :flowers:

[Kiraela]

I think I like the older ones better, honestly, but do what makes your hair and yourself happy!

Either way, your hair is lovely.
