The Truth: Okay I know what you are thinking, "Wild growth oil is so 4-5 years ago, why are you now trying this out?", and you are right! It took me forever to want to buy this product. I repeatedly heard about it through friends, reviews, challenges, and blogs but that never really gave me the urge to buy & try it.

I bought this oil back in May 2010 (product haul May 2010) and I've been using it on and off ever since. This oil is by far one of the best oils I've ever used. It does exactly what it says and I lovvveee it. I have been using it as a sealant, after my Hot Six Oil ran out, and it locks in moisture very well, my hair feels conditioned, has more shine and the texture is much softer to the touch than usual. It makes my ends feel so smooth and soft I find myself randomly touching my ends throughout the day just in awe at how nice it feels. I don't put it on the scalp, therefore I can't comment on hair growth, although you can. I just use Jamaican Black Castor Oil on my scalp exclusively. I apply WGO (Wild Growth Oil) on my ends in sections after I'm done moisturizing. It's a deep yellow color and has a thick/sticky-like consistency. The only downside is the scent of the oil, it's not the greatest. It's really hard to compare it to anything else since there's nothing like it to be honest, LOL. The more you use it the less you notice it. I also find that the scent doesn't linger. Overall I love this oil as a sealant. It does an amazing job at softening my texture (especially if it's dry and tangled) and locking in moisture.

Tips:Great in combination with Scurl No Drip Activator Moisturizer.

It's been a while since I did an update so here it goes...

I relaxed my hair back in February 2011 and to my surprise it was waist length (yay!) however; my ends where not up to my standards. They looked thinner than usual so I decided to trim it a little passed BSL since the length that I want to maintain is MBL. I trimmed it in March (after a wash and blow dry) and I'm loving it!!! I really can't handle waist length hair, it's just too much work. I love BSL/MBL hair. It's perfect for me. So that's pretty much it, where the trim is concerned. From now on I'll be growing it back to MBL and maintaining that length & thicker ends, trimming it every other relaxer.

Unfortunately, my regimen is almost non existent, LOL. It's sad to say, but I'm not as ridged with my hair as I was before. I've been co-washing a few times a week and only deep conditioning maybe once a week?! Moisturizing and sealing once every 2-3 days?! Horrible and unacceptable! I know :( I've been slacking a bit since life has become a little hectic for the past couple months (moving into a new house, traveling, death of a family member etc.) but that is about to change. I'll definitely be going back to my old regimen. That's life I guess. That just goes to show that sometimes life gets in the way but you have to pick up where you left off and continue on.

As of now, I'm currently 7 weeks post relaxer, due for a relaxer early May. I will be self relaxing at home as usual. I plan on using a different neutralizing shampoo this time around. I noticed that ORS Neutralizing shampoo is a bit drying so I will be experimenting with Motions moisturizing neutralizing shampoo. I heard great things about it so I'll test it out and see. Expect product reviews shortly :)

1. Use a moisturizing shampoo - Look for shampoo's that are opaque in color since they tend to have little to no harsh ingredients that will strip the hair of it's moisture.



2. Deep condition with a rich moisturizing conditioner - Regularly go under the dryer or heating cap for 20-30 mins with a thick moisture rich conditioner. If you don't have a heat source, leave it on for 1 hr with a plastic cap and towel wrapped around your hair. This will help minimize damage, and hydrate your hair.
   



3. Conditioner wash (co-wash) if you must - Washing your hair with conditioner is one of the easiest and quickest ways to cleanse/moisten the hair without stripping the natural oils. Always use a moisturizing conditioner for this process. Tip: add a dime size amount of the conditioner, you used to co-wash, back into the hair as part of your leave-in conditioner for extra moisture.
   



4. Moisturize and seal often - Moisturize and seal (applying a small amount of natural oil to your ends i.e. olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil etc.) your ends daily (recommended) or just a few times a week . Always use a water based moisturizer. Tip: Try to part your hair in sections for efficient coverage.
   



5. Do a protein treatment - Regular protein treatments are good for the hair since hair is made up of protein. Protein helps to rebuild the structure of the hair. It helps to fill in the cracks/open spaces along the hair shaft thus allowing the hair to keep in more moisture.



6. Use acidic products to match the pH level of your hair - Hair in its healthiest state is at a pH level of 4.5-5.5, which is acidic. Acidic products help to compact the hair cuticles having them lay flat and constricted thus making it hard for moisture to escape. Acidic products also give your hair a nice shine too. Tip: Citric Acid is known to adjust the pH level in most shampoos and conditioners down to a pH level of 4.5-5.



7. Hot oil treatments - Hot oil treatments are one of the best treatments for dry, brittle hair. If done regularly, hot oil treatments help to correct the moisture balance in the hair. It also increases elasticity in the hair thus aiding in length retention. Tip: For severe dry ends, dampen the hair with water, apply the oil to the ends first, then place a plastic cap over the hair overnight for maximum penetration. Shampoo or co-wash in the morning.
