Regimen Library-Let\'s post our regimens here

If you already have your regimen posted somewhere, please copy and paste it here so we can have all regimens in one place.

I'll start:

I'm currently on a light to no protein regimen for a while. My hair is relaxed 4a/b and neck length

and suffering from dryness due to overuse of protein/reconstructors

*ACV rinse once a week to clarify
*Condition wash every other day rotating Keracare Humecto and Loreal's Mega Moisture Nurturing Creme.
*I sit under the dryer twice a week for 30-45 minutes with the Humecto for a deep moisture treatment
*Leave-in: Biolage, Pantene or NTM Silk Touch
*Light protein once a week: 10 en 1, GPB or Aubrey's Aloe & Jojoba
*Moisturizers: Wildgrowth oil, distilled water mixed with castor,rosemary and jojoba oil and sometimes ORS Jojoba Oil moisturizer.
*Relax every 8 weeks
*No direct heat for as long as I can stand it. I'm currently 2 weeks direct heat free. Current styles are braid-outs and buns/ponytails

Re: Regimen Library-Let\'s post our regimens here

*Saturday- hair in 4 braids and wash with Creme of Nature, suave or daily defense.
*Condition with a plastic cap and warm towel for 30 mins to an hour.
Depending on my hair condition I use ion, cholesterol with olive oil, or suave.
*ACV rinse with peppermint oil.
*Detangle with the sally's generic Infusium 23 in a spray bottle.
*Apply profective to my scalp and ends and let my hair dry in the braids.
*Everyday I spray with surge mixed with braid spray and wear a braid out. I also use the hot seven oil on my ends.
*Monday and thursday-co wash with suave or daily defense put in a squirt bottle with water.
*Dust ends daily
*Trim about once a year

I am currently a 4b natural with extremely thick hair. It is about 9 inches.
I usually wear braids for about 4 weeks and let my hair rest for 2 then reapply. When taking out the braids, I mix some conditioner and water in a spray bottle, gently comb out and put in the 4 braids. I mix olive oil and conditioner and pretreat for about and hour before shampooing.

Take care Queneesha

Re: Regimen Library-Let\'s post our regimens here

Here's mine!

I shampoo,condition and deep condition once a week.

First, I pre-treat my hair/scalp with a mixture of jojoba oil, coconut oil, olive oil and honey. (sometimes I add castor oil)I put on plastic cap and either wrap a towel around my head or sit under the dryer for about an hour.
Next, I shampoo my hair. I have a variety of products that I use for this, but right now I'm stuck on Kenra!

I deep condition with ORS hair mayonnaise. If the shampoo that I'm using comes with a deep conditioner, then I use that.
Rinse and condition.
I don't towel dry my hair. I put on my leave in with my hair dripping wet (thanks for the tip, Supergirl!

Then, I let my hair airdry. Depending on how much moisture my hair has when it dries, I may apply a bit of coconut oil or Fantasia IC silky gel moisturizer activator in it.

That's it!

Ooops! Forgot something! I put Surge 14 on my hair and scalp when it's damp.

Re: Regimen Library-Let\'s post our regimens here

I’m currently following the crown and glory technique to grow my hair back near waist length and to help stretch touch-ups to twice a year only.

Once a week I shampoo my cornrows with Crème of nature Shampoo /Elasta QP Bodifying shampoo/keracare hydrating detangling shampoo. I add two capfuls of shampoo diluted in a large cup of warm water. On the last rinse I pour cool water over the hair to close cuticles. Alternatively I would just rinse hair with water then add a conditioner without shampooing. I clarify once a month with Pantene or Keracare 1st lather.

Every week, I alternate between different protein conditioners i.e. Motions CPR Treatment Conditioner, Motions Oil Silk Protein Conditioner, ORS Hair Mayonnaise, keracare humecto crème conditioner. Every four weeks I apply an Aphogee treatment over my braids followed by one of the moisturising protein conditioner as mentioned above.

When the braids are almost dry I apply and Surge Revitalizer plus 14 onto scalp area. After airdrying, I saturate cornrows with Lusters S-curl activator then apply Profectiv Breakfree or Elasta QP Mango Butter to the plaits. When almost dry, I apply a generous coating of Wildgrowth hair Oil to seal moisture on the ends.

Subsequently, plaits are gathered up and placed into a plastic cap known as the baggie or twisted round into a bun. To avoid matting I redo sections of hair every four-five weeks.

Every four weeks I apply an Aphogee Treatment for damaged hair over my cornrows to keep my hair strong. I sit under the drier until hard. I follow with one of my moisturising protein conditioners and moisturisers as named above.

My daily routine consists of spraying Surge 14 onto hair and scalp area and spraying s-curl mixture with Motions leave in/Infusium 23. At night i cover my cornrows with plastic cap to keep my hair moist and to aid growth.

Re: Regimen Library-Let\'s post our regimens here

This thread is a good idea!

I just recently simplified my regimen. Here it is in a nutshell:

Daily -

Vitamins: Bargello plan with 1000 mg of L-Cysteine daily

Weekly -

Conditioner rinse every other day with VO5 Honey and Almond conditioner (or NTM Daily Conditioner)

Wash with NTM shampoo and Deep Mask as a conditioner

Styling: air drying in a bun the majority of the time with braidouts and Dominican blowouts sprinkled in for variety.

Leave-ins: NTM Serum and Silk Touch Leave-in (would like to try Salerm 21...)

Monthly -

The Works! -
Clarify with Pantene Purity clarifYing shampoo followed by KeraCare Moisturizing Detangling Shampoo, followed by Joico K-Pak with heat (for 15-20 minutes) OR Hennalucent treatment (no heat - once a quarter), followed by moisturizing deep conditioner with heat (for 20-30 minutes). (Deep conditioner is Kuz Evolution Cream but will be changing to Avlon's Preservo Chemical Block after next retouch) (This replaces one of my weekly poo washes as described above.)

Leave-ins: same as above

Quarterly -

Relaxer every three to four months with Affirm Fiberguard Lye Mild (starting with next retouch

). Relaxed 60% straight.

As Needed -

Trims: as needed (usually one big trim per year with dustings as needed)

Oils and Grease: Monoi or Alma oils, and Sulfur 8 Light applied as needed. (Sulfur 8 applied to dry hair only and not on my scalp.)

Chichi

Re: Regimen Library-Let\'s post our regimens here

I deep condition once a week faithfully.
I do conditoner washes at least 3-4 times a week.
I do a hardcore protein treatment every 6 weeks and relax
my hair every 3 months.
I am using no heat just airdrying my hair.
I am using more oils on my hair now along with surge.
I am a product junkie and it and I use lots of different products and my hair loves it.

Re: Regimen Library-Let\'s post our regimens here

I'm on the "minimalist regimen." Every 4 to 5 days I

1. Shampoo twice (Design Essentials Organic Cleanse and DE's Moisture Retention Shampoo)
2. Condition for 5 minutes with Sleek. Look Conditioner (used to be DE's Stimulations. That's good too.)
3. Spray in Surge as blow dry agent.
5. Blow dry with comb attachment. Flat iron with Biosilk Silk Therepy

No more oils and creams.

Re: Regimen Library-Let\'s post our regimens here

There are some great ideas here

Re: Regimen Library-Let\'s post our regimens here

Great Thread!!!!

Type 4a

I basically rollerset every 4-5 days, I touch up at the salon wth Affrim Senstive Scalp use to do 7 weeks but now I go 11 weeks ( thats the most I've waited so far)

I wrap my hair the first night or 2 then I just clip it up and scarf. I blow out the roots also, but lately I've left my roots alone until I really feel I need it
( around 6 weeks maybe) but I've been lazy laetly and find that if I wrap my hair after the roller set, the next day my hair falls pretty nicely with out having to blow out the roots.

I really don't do protectibe styles, but when my hair was at my shoulders I did keep it up alot ( not a bun, just clipped up) I find that I pasted the shoulders quickly.

So my product list goes like this:

My Staples:
Matrix Sleek Look poo & Con
Rusk Smoother Leave in texturizing conditioner
IC Fantasia Serum for Color treated hair
Mizani Shyne Spray

PS.recently added NTM serum and I love it more...but I have to finish IC and I might repurchase

Deep Conditioner:
10 en 1 ( very thick and hydrating)
11 en 1 (natural products like Garlic, Watercress, etc +stregthens the hair)
Alter Ego Garlic Treatment ( recent purchase GREAT product )
Greit-Oll Capilar Treatment Sabila ( Aloe)
Apretadora Capillar Treatment ( with Cinnomon & Rosemary)
Capilo Conditioner Ballena de Esperma
Hollywood Cholestral Olive Oil
Kera Care Humecto

Protein treatments:

Penetraitt
Aphrogee
Aubrey's GPB
St. Ive Reconstructor

Ok now this is just a sickness.....

Vo5 Cons ( Oasis, Split end Treatment)
St. Ives cond.
Finesse Con.
Agree Con
Lafier Almond Rinse

Re: Regimen Library-Let\'s post our regimens here

I'm also on a minimalist regimen

Every Sat I:
Wash with Motions lavish conditioning shampoo
Condition with Motions cpr for 5-10 min
Condition with Suave milk and honey to add moisture (lately i've been substituting with Salerm wheat germ mask)

I let my hair "drip dry" (usually takes about 15 min) then apply NTM silk touch leave in followed by a couple sprits of wonder 8 oil

Everyday I massage ORS carrot oil into my hairline and I also put some on my ends to keep them moisturized.

My style most weeks is a bantu knot set. I'll wear that for about 3 days and then swith to a braid out for another 3 and then it wash day again. At night I sleep with a satin scarf.

I relax my hair 3-4 months but im on the six month no relaxer challenge so I won't be getting a relaxer until November. I'm not big on length just health so I trim my hair every 3 months when I relax. If I get the urge I may cut in between those times as well.

Re: Regimen Library-Let\'s post our regimens here

Okay - let me warn ya'll now - I am not consistent....

Currently on the lazy girl's regime:

Wash at least once a week:
Elucence MB shampoo
Condition with one of the following (changes constantly) -
Elucence MB conditioner
Redken All Soft Heavy conditioner
Back to Basics Raspberry and ALmond conditioner (I use this with more consistency)


I try to final rinse with Paul Mitchell The Detangler (especially if I need to detangle which I don't do consistently).
I also final rinse with a homemade ACV rinse that includes an infusion of rosemary, levender seed, lemongrass e.o., thyme e.o., levender e.o., cedarwood e.o., and orange e.o.

I use some type of leave in (usually 911). I pull my hair back into a bun and apply a hair oil (either Hairobics or something else).

I apply a shea butter mix to the hair around my edges.

On a daily basis I apply Hairobic's hairdress (not the name but I cna't remember it) or a mix of jojoba oil with peppermint oil.

I sleep in some type of bonnet and scarf every night.

HTH

 

[Eiano]

Eiano\'s

Braids: usually keep them in for 2 months at a time. When they come out; the works!!! Deep Condition, Hot Oil, Massage and a dusting.

SInce my hair is natural, I do a conditioner wash about 3-4 times a week with V05. (I go through them in about 2 weeks so I just grab the V05 thats 99 cents. I use African Pride grease.. I pretty much leave my hair alone. That's why it's been growing the past 2 yrs.

 

[BttFlyAngel777]

Re: Regimen Library-Let\'s post our regimens here

You guys do alot. I am simplified with mine at the moment. I created a gently cleansing shampoo that I am currently using. I wash my hair once a week.

I deep condition with Le Kair Cholesterol..

I am just beginning to use the surge. Day 3 today. So far the product seems very light, has not weighed my hair down and I love it.

My hair isnt relaxed, its natural. I blow dry it after applying Infusium 23(leave in) this is the best leave in around. Press my edges only and either were a ponytail, or one braid down the back.

My hair is soft and manageable. Going to get a relaxed maybe in another month or so. If not Im going to get a ponytail braid style.

My hair length is currenly 2-3 inches from my bra-strap. Will keep the site updates as far as the surge is concerned. I really like this site you guys give me alot of help with different things.

Tip from the day from Growafrohairlong.com. To seal your ends, help with split ends. Place aluminum foil over ends of hair. Flat iron ends with medium heat. If you havent been to this site, check it out. My goal is to have my hair at my waist by Christmas....My daughter too....shes 17.
