great Idea Flowerhair
here's my regime Ive simplified my product usage but the basics are what got got me from APL-WSL.

Cowashes daily in the sumemer, weekly winter.
deep condition at least 1-2 x month, clarify w acv diluted w water when I need it.
low manipulation, protective styles 95% of the time
daily moisture some suave tropical coconut or Garnier length & strength conditioner on the length focus on ends seal w coconut oil or aloe buuter or whipped shea butter.
I keep the oils to a minimum. sometimes ayurvedic tonics or henna when I feel like it I dont do this all the time. I trimm splits and thats it.

Its slightly diff b/c Its braided/weaved now but I have the detailed regime in my fotki there's a link in my siggy. hth

@Leo24Rule

In summer only but I only water wash daily and leave the co washing for once a week.
I've changed some of my staple products but my regimen now is almost the same as it was before.
The reason I changed products is because the formulations were changed or I couldn't find them to purchase anymore or I found something better.

@Lucia, where did you get the stretchy satin headband? I need one.

I use a satiny sleep bonnet and a stretchy satin headband along the hairline after smoothing it and moisturizing.
You could try ayurvedic scalp massage with you fav oil, or scalp massage under warm runing water, to thicken up hair and speed up hairgrowth

Wash and steam every 10-14 days. Roller set 95% of the time after washing to stretch hair. No to low manipulation styles after stretching.

Heat: Direct heat usage is minimal....maybe 3 times a year if that.

Trims: Meh. I usually just search and destroy when my hair is straight and take off the minimal amount that is needed.

My routine is the same since this post in 2014. I can stretch my wash days further now...every 2-3 weeks...with the itch to wash around day 17/18 though.

Since this post, I've made it all the way to Classic length then trimmed to W-Hip due to ppstpartum shedding. Hovering close to TBL now...I'm not giving myself and end length goal. Just growing it as long as possible. I'm very curious to see what that length will be; but in the meantime I'm enjoying nurturing my hair & maintaining my sexy in the process. :lachen:

What kind of rollers do you use? Regular magnetic ones that need to be clipped down?
