...Hey derre!!!My Regimen is posted within my Blog (link in my siggy
)But for you i will post it here.....
-I co-wash 2 times a week with Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose or Suave Naturals Juicy Green Apple....i've also been using the Crece Pelo Rinse conditioner....but i don't think i'll buy it again...i like the leave-in better.
-I shampoo and deep condition on the weekends so right now i'm using Giovanni Smooth as Silk shampoo bc its sulfate free and i deep condition with Lustrasilk's Cholesterol Shea Butter Plus or Silicon Mix Bambu (for right now) or ORS Replenishing Pak...my other fave when i can afford it is Banana Brulee deep conditioner from shescentit.com....
- I use the ORS Creamy Aloe shampoo to clarify once a month....its also a chelating and neutralizing shampoo...the only sulfate shampoo i'll use.
-Moisturize and seal daily....my moisturizers and oils change frequently so i don't have a staple for that right now. I do love coconut oil and here lately jojoba oil.
-In the cooler months i use JBCO twice a week...right now i'm on the Bee Mine serum.....i also wear my hair down more often in the cooler months and do my own color rinses
On Texlax Day
-I base my scalp the nite b4 with the Hawaiian Silky relaxer baser.
-I base my scalp again the day of
-I cover my length with conditioner
-I use ORS Olive Oil Relaxer (regular strength)
-I add 2-4 tablespoons of olive oil
-Let it sit for 5 min no more than 10min
-I wash my hair about 4 times with the neutralizing shampoo.....i wash and rinse and then i wash again...let the shampoo sit for 5 minutes....rinse...wash again let it sit about 2-3 minutes.....wash again and rinse.
-After all that i deep condition with ORS Replenishing Pak or some other deep conditioner with protein.
I usually blowdry and flat iron my hair on Texlax Day and wear it straight for a week and then i'm back to co-washing and bunning and braidouts...which i suck at
...the braidouts that is. I feel like i'm forgetting something.........
......i use heat no more than 2 times a month....and i use GVP silk infusion serum when i do.

Copied from my Fotki...
My Regimen: shampoo/DC 2x a week; co-wash 3x a week; always airdry (only allow direct heat when I get relaxer touch ups); relaxer touch ups at salon with Design Essentials Sensitive Scalp No Lye every 12 weeks.
My Products:
Shampoo: Suave Daily Clarifying(2x a month); Motions Moisture Plus/Motions CPR (weekly)
Deep Conditioners (always add 1tbsp honey and evoo <heated in microwave for 12 seconds before mixing with conditioner>): Motions After Shampoo Moisturizing Conditioner/Motions CPR Protein Reconstructor
I apply my deep conditioners like Hairlicious in this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY-4VYxBh3A
Only difference is that I no longer twist, I just lay my hair over to the side.
***Update*** As of July 2010, I've been doing my protein deep conditioner on dry hair. It makes a difference! My hair is softer and has more bounce. I then follow up with the Motions CPR shampoo and airdry with my regular leave-ins.
Co-wash Conditioners: Garnier Fructis/Herbal Essences
Leave Ins: ORS Carrot Oil, African Royale Hot Six Oil, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, NTM Silk Touch Leave-In, Lacio Lacio Silk Leave-In (when I’m 10-12 weeks post), Rusk Smoother

I wash and deep condition my hair weekly with Elucence Moisture Benefits shampoo, UBH coditioner or BBD stretch creme under dryer, followed by Moisture Balancing Coditioner. My stylist relaxes my hair every 7-8 weeks.
DesiRae, have you ever used BBD stretch as a deep conditioner?
If any struggles with dryness, what do you use?

I wash 2-3 times per week. I alternate between Pureology Scalp Care Shampoo (which has *completely* solved my dandruff/dry scalp issue) and Pureology Super Smooth shampoo (I use a semi-perm color for my grays.) My scalp can't take sulfates at ALL.
I use Moroccan Oil conditioner.
I use more MO conditioner as a leave-in, put Living Proof No Frizz Straight Making cream in, followed by a nickel-sized dollop of Moroccan Oil. I blow dry on low/medium in large sections w/ a paddle brush then use a large round brush to finish. I oil my ends after each section w/Kemi Oyl then I wrap in a silk scarf.
I relax every 2 months and the following week I usually BKT. Now that the cooler weather is here, I plan on BKTing once every 6-8 weeks and forgoing the relaxer until I can't take it anymore- we'll see how long that lasts.
In between washings, I lightly oil my ends w/Kemi Oyl 2-3 a day and I wear my hair wrapped w/ a silk scarf to bed except the day before I wash. I color touch up as needed (have a lot of grays) b/c it's a semi-perm color w/no ammonia or peroxide. My hair grows about an inch a month now, due to my protein, Biotin, MSM & Omega 3-6-9 supplements.
I still have some issues w/retention, though, so I only wear my hair out 1 day per week. Most days it's in a bun w/spin pins (my ends are lightly oiled before making the bun). I'm starting to feel like a boring old lady!
You'll notice I don't have a DC in my rotation. I've been SUCH a slacker with this for two reasons. One, I need to find one that is BKT compatible. Two, pure laziness...

Moisturize and Seal twice a day
Wash and condition once per week (any shampoo or conditioner until I use up what I have which is too much stuff)
Deep Condition with every wash(Elasta- QP DPR-11 mixed with Alter Ego Garlic Conditioner and coconut oil and aphogee 2 minute reconstructor.)
Rollerset- once all the rollers are in I spray my head with aphogee keratin green tea.
I'm trying to get my relaxers to every 12 weeks from now on but so far I've only been able to get to 7 weeks... gotta do better.

Loved the responses in this thread and I am sure someone else out there can benefit from this information, so I'm bumping.
My regimen is pretty basic right now since I'm still getting used to relaxing my hair.
Regimen
I stretch my relaxers for about 10-12 weeks and I'm going to add a mid-protein step to my routine as per the advice of many of the ladies here. I deep condition weekly but only do so using heat once a month. I don't sit under the dryer for longer than 30 minutes (done using a plastic cap). I co-wash on Wednesdays and I shampoo and condition on Saturdays (also DC day). I moisturize twice each day and also wrap and seal my ends with oil at night. I also oil my scalp with a Shea butter, Jojoba oil, and Coconut oil blend after each wash (no more than once a week).
And protective styles are a must. I try to bun, French roll, etc. my hair as often as possible..
Products
The only set back that I've had is some breakage in the crown of my head. I think it had to do with poor neutralizing/rinsing and the relaxer may have been too strong, resulting in over processing.
