I wanted to post my new regimen and show what I have been doing to my hair lately. Still I dont do much because I dont want to fight with my two textures and the less I do every week the better. This has been working for me for a while now and I love it.
(BIG THANKS to Kiki and Amy for the comments on my last post :-)
MY WEEKLY REGIMEN:
- deep condition on slightly damp/dry hair (oil treatment of the oils of my choice - cowash days OR elasta qp soy oyl treatment - wash days) leave on for a hr
- wash hair once a week with peppermint castile soap/cowash once a week
- after shampoo cowash with cheapie conditioner
- only if needed do a 5-15 min protein treatment with aphogee 2 min treatment
- air dry under towel for 5-10mins then apply leave ins (aphogee green tea spray, moisturizer, seal & oil scalp with castor oil/grapeseed oil mix OR bee mine serum,
- detangle hair in 6 sections with a pik comb and allow hair to air dry a little before i style it for my protective style.
- every other day apply moisturizer and little castor oil mix to moisturize & seal until my next wash/cowash day.
- protective styles are : buns, bantu knots, half up/half down, wigs, & drawstrings (the less i do the better. )
Things to follow during long transition 2011:
*detangle once a week on wash days with product using pik comb
*finger comb on co wash days or "refresher" days with product
*refresh hair inbetween cowashes when ever need be using spray bottle mix (water, oils, and cheapie conditioner)
*denman is used for quick smoothing only
*scalp is oiled on all wash,cowash, & refresher days
*finger comb while in the shower (a must)
*air dry...or if plan to blow dry air dry for 20-30mins then proceed to blow out hair
*use tshirt to get most of the water from hair.
