wow awesome growth. What is your regimine?

Thanks! Here is my regimen, copied from my Fotki page :yep:

My Regimen

Wash 1-2 times per week; at most one shampoo. I clarify about once per month. A typical wash day consists of the following:


- Prepoo/deep condition dry hair with a 50/50 mix of Aubrey Organics GPB and Honeysuckle Rose. I put a palmful of Vatika Oil on top of this and sit under a hooded dryer for at least 10 min, more if I have the time.

- Shampoo day: I use Phyto Organics Theratin moisturizing shampoo for one lather on my scalp and roots only, allowing the runoff to be the only shampoo to touch the length and ends of my hair.

- I rinse my hair and apply 1/2 palmful of avocado oil to my hair and allow it to sit for about 2 minutes before rinsing out

- As a final step, I apply Nature's Gate Henna Shine Enhancing conditioner and detangle my hair with a shower comb as I rinse this out

- I use Neutrogena Triple Moisture Silk Touch as my leave-in, about a quarter-sized amount

- I set my hair on magnetic rollers or flexi rods and dry under my hooded dryer for about 1h 15 min


Products also in my rotation: Phyto Organics Humectin and Enphuse, Nexxus Emergencee (after relaxers)


Daily Maintenance: To maintain my hair throughout the week, I moisturize with NTM silk touch leave in and either cross wrap, wrap or pincurl. Then I always follow up with a snug but not too tight satin scarf. I also sleep on a satin pillowcase nightly. I try to comb my hair minimally, especially if I am wearing a curly/textured style.
