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

This is what I plan to do from now on:

-Wash as infrequently as possible ( LHCF no-no /images/graemlins/ohwell.gif )

-Shampoo w/ CON

-Deep Condition with Queen Helene Super Cholesterol (30-45min)

-Spray diluted Infusium 23 sparingly (otherwise, my hair will be hard. but this helps tremendously with minimizing breakage when I comb my hair wet)

-Rub Coconut Oil generously

-Rub E.QP Mango Butter generouly

-Comb out hair

-Airdry in "afro" (My hair is only slightly relaxed; mostly just enough to get the comb through easily. So, when I comb out my hair, it looks like a blown-out afro.)

-Coat thin sections of hair with regular Queen Helene Cholesterol

-Straighten each thin, coated section of hair with a ceramic curling iron.

-Maintain curls with magnetic plastic rollers (orange and yellow size)

-Sleep in rollers until next washing (LHCF no-no /images/graemlins/ohwell.gif ).

-No curling iron until next washing.


Styles:
-"some up some down" style.
-loose curl updo
-more than likely will not wear all down.


Relaxer:
-no more than every 3 months (hopefully)
-Motions Oil Moisturizer Lye, Mild
-applied by trusted family member

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

I finally completed mine:

Wash Days {Every 6-7 days}
Pre-poo w/ Suave Milk and Honey Conditioner & B&B Oil It Up
Wash with Nexxus Therappe
Apply Keraphix & Humectress (protopak) and sit under dryer for 20-30 minutes.
Rinse and apply Ensure (acidifying/detangling conditoner) for 3 minutes.
Rinse again in cool water.
Apply a little Oil It Up to hair shaft, and MAYBE apply leave in (Headress or Daily Provision)

*I do not use the blowdryer. I will usually either wrap or rollerset my hair and sit under the dryer.*

Daily Care
For the first 3/4 days after washing, I moisturize with ORS Carrot Oil, then rub a little Oil It Up through my hair/ends.
For the last 3/4 days before I wash, I moisturize with Profectiv Healthy Ends and then rub a little Oil It Up through my hair/ends.
If I have LOTS of new growth, I will use Sta Sof Fro to soften it up.

*I do not use hair grease, but the day after I wash my hair I apply ORS Carrot Oil to my scalp.*

I dont have a specific relaxing schedule, but I usually go 12 wks. I like to stay in braids a lot once I hit 6 weeks and have a lot of new growth.

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

My regimen is really a work in progress, but here it is at the present time:

Every five to seven days (usually every five):

1. Shampoo with Kenra Moisturizing Shampoo. Rinse. Towel blot.
2. Condition with Kera Care Humetco. Apply generously, comb through, and put on a plastic cap. Conditioner does its work for 15-20 minutes. Rinse. Towel blot.

3. Apply Pantene Pro V Instant Defense Leave In Conditioner. Comb through. I may also apply Carol's Daughter Healthy Hair Butter to the ends. I really am not that impressed with the Healthy Hair Butter, to tell you the truth. It's a good thing I bought the teeny weeny size. LOL! Having said the aforementioned, it works better on wet hair than on dry, IMO.

4. At this point, I air dry the hair. I periodically comb through with my pick so that the hair does not become too puffy and wild as it dries.

Note: I have tried to air dry the hair from a dripping wet state. However, this method does not work for my hair; it simply cannot tolerate this process. Furthermore, when completely dry, my hair simply looked rough from roots to ends. Just a mess! LOL! I used this method for about one month. That was enough for me and my hair!

5. When my hair is completely dry, I will section my hair, and prepare for a light straightening with the flat iron. I apply Kera Care Curling Wax to each section, from root to end, and then flat iron.

6. The next day or two, I apply Dudley Scalp Special to the scalp, especially the stress area at the crown. I part the hair down the center, front to back, and then from ear to ear. I apply Scalp Special to these sections, massage, and then comb through.

7. Night time maintenance: I lubricate the ends as needed, and then either wrap up or roll up the hair, depending upon how flat it looks. I wear a satin hair covering.

Two weeks following and two weeks prior to a relaxer touch up:
Protein or Moisturizing treatment, depending on what my stylist believes my hair needs at the time. I also get a steam treatment along with the conditioner. Yummy!!! Yes; I get professional conditioning treatments. LOL!

Every eight weeks:
Relaxer touch up. My hair cannot tolerate much longer than this. My roots become very tight. My stylist applies the Affirm Mild, Lye formulation.

Every four weeks:
Clarifying shampoo wash.

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

keylargo,

I can relate re: the over use of protein/reconstructors.

I think I did the same during the four weeks leading up to my relaxer touch up on 9/17/04. I was also experimenting with air drying at the time, and I think the combination really took its toll on my poor hair.

I like air drying my hair. However, there was definitely protein/reconstructor overload.

In my case, I need a reconstructor/protein treatment once, maybe twice, during a given relaxer cycle.

[AudraChanell]

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

HEAT: Hood dryer mostly w/deep conditioning, drying my set
DEEP CONDITION: every wash
TRIM: as needed
RELAX: every 10-12 weeks

Up to 7 weeks post relaxer:
Shampoo every 3-7 days w/CON followed by a moisturizing conditioner (sometimes a silicon conditioner), followed by a mix of Salerm wheat germ and hot oil for a treatment. *Alter Ego Revitalizing drops and Salerm21 leave after every shampoo.
Hair style: Roller set, wrap with paddle brush, under dryer for 5-10 mins, apply shine or moisturizing aid

7+ Weeks POST RELAXER: Same as above but every 7-14 days *Alter ego growth revitalizing drops and Salerm21 leave after every shampoo.

MONTHLY: Use a claryifying shampoo and seal my ends using the foil and flat iron method w/conditioner in my hair. Affirm 5 in 1 if I need it.

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

I'm a minimalist at heart and have been following the same exact regimen for a year. My hair has never been healthier. (I need to update my album.)

Every 5-7 days, I...

1. Shampoo once with Design Essentials Organic Cleanse Shampoo. Second Shampoo with Design Essentials Moisture Retention Shampoo.
2. Deep condition without heat for 5 minutes with Design Essentials Stimulations.
3. Spray in water-based blowdrying agent.
4. Blow dry with comb attachment.
5. Add Biosilk Silk Therapy and flat iron in sections.

No oils, no sheen, no grease ever. Lye relaxer every 2-3 months. Trim every 4 months. I wrap my hair every night with a durag to keep the style.

I don't plan to depart from this regimen ANY time soon. Probably never. I've found what works perfectly for my hair.

Northernbelle, I've been reading your posts lately and thinking that our hair likes the same products. My hair likes Kenra's conditioner but loves Humecto. It also does not like too much protein. I've been doing weekly treatments with Aubrey's GPB and/or some other light protein treatment like Keraphix or 10 en 1. One thing that my hair does not seem to respond to is Lekair Cholesterol Plus. Seems like everyone likes that conditioner but my hair laughs at it.

Keylargo, my hair responds the same to Cholesterol!

I tried Cholesterol years ago, and my hair was actually hard after the rinseout!

My hair really likes moisture, but bristles under the weight of too much protein. The texture of the hair may also have some bearing. My hair is fine in texture. So, whatever I can do to moisturize it properly, my hair does very well.

My hair is definitely in a state of becoming. Every time I wash my hair is an experiment of sorts. I think that I have identified a hair regimen that I can live with for the foreseeable future.

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

Ok here's mine. Its VERY simple. Ever since joining this site my hair has been the healthiest it has ever been so I think I'll stick to this. I am in Namibia right now which is basicaly a desert so there is absolutely no humidity, which is probably why my airdried hair is amazing.

Monday, Thursday
-conditioner wash- Suave milk and honey
-airdry

Saturday
-prepoo with Dark and Lovely restorer oil
-Shampoo with Copa PH balancing shampoo if needed (def. if i prepooed)
- condition w/ Drench (a South African con, typical moisturizing, nothing special)
-airdry

My hair had been breaking so I used Joice KPak twice in the past two weeks but now it will be once a month.

After years of relaxing every month, I had an amazing experience after waiting 2 months last time and will do it again.
The hairdresser claimed, and I saw her use affirm no lye mild but why do my roots seem bone straight? This was my first time using Affirm.

I don't use any leave-ins or products otherwise. I braid my hair in two pigtails every night and take them out in the mornings. I never wear protective styles, i love swinging my hair around tooo much for that.

Warning: I don't recommend the following, it has just been working for me. I don't comb my hair. EVER. After careful examination, I realized that 90% of my hair loss was happening through a comb, so I stopped. Now I make sure to use a slipery conditiner and it detangles itself in the shower. There are no knots in my hair that I can tell. this is obviously an experiment that clearly might backfire but i'm going to try it for 6 months.

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

I didn't want to post a regimen until I stuck to one consistently for at least a month. I finally did it, so here goes.

Shampoo 2x/week
Wednesday:
Wash hair with Keracare 1st Lather Shampoo and Keracare Hydrating Detangling Shampoo
Condition with Keracare Humecto Conditioner for 15 minutes with heat or 20 minutes to an hour without heat
Spray hair with Razac Leave-in diluted with water
Add Loreal Smooth Intense Serum or Biosilk Serum mixed with a small amount of Coconut oil throughout hair and airdry hair in a bun or single twist with the end pinned near the crown of my head. Tie it up in a satin scarf and go to bed.

Sunday:
Wash hair with Keracare 1st Lather Shampoo and Keracare Hydrating Detangling Shampoo
Deep condition following Ouidad's "Triple Layer" Conditioning Technique: I apply an instant conditioner on the ends, followed by Keraphix Reconstructor throughout the hair. After covering with a plastic cap, I sit under the dryer for 20 minutes. I then apply Keracare Humecto Conditioner, put the cap back on and wait 20 more minutes before rinsing.
I then spray hair with Razac Leave-in diluted with water
Add Loreal Smooth Intense Serum or Biosilk Serum mixed with Coconut oil throughout and rollerset my hair. I usually go back under the dryer for 45 minutes to an hour. If I'm not going anywhere, I'll let it airdry the rest of the way. Depending on how much newgrowth I have, I sometimes flat-iron the newgrowth with my Jilbere flat iron. I don't like rollerwrapping my hair for an extended amount of time, because it never looks right. Most nights I just leave the rollers in overnight, since it's probably still wet. I can't sleep on my back, so I'm not really worried about rubbing my hair out.

Between washdays, I usually wear my hair in a bun or pinned up with the ends curled. I don't really comb my hair to put it in a bun. I just mist it down with my leave-in and smooth it with a boar bristle brush. Maybe once a week, most likely the first day after the rollerset, I'll wear it all down. Every night I tie it up in a satin scarf.

Once every 3 months I get a touch-up. For the last 6-9 months I've been self-relaxing with Vitale Mo'Body. Before that I was using Affirm Mild. I get a trim maybe once every 6 months.

Once every 6 weeks, I go to the Dominican salon as a treat.

 

[angelbaby]

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

Daily:

Wash in shower with Elucence Moisture Balancing Shampoo, followed by Elucence Moisture Balancing Conditioner. While hair is dripping wet in the shower, apply Salerm 21 or Lacio Lacio, rinse lightly, comb and apply superabsorbent towel. Apply a light coating of Elucence Moisture Barrier Balm to hair. Pull hair into a ponytail with scrunchie. Twist or braid ponytail, pin up in a ball; put another scrunchie around it.

Weekly deep condition with Motions CPR. Will be using the Salerm Wheat Germ Mask.

Every 3 months, touch up with Affirm FiberGuard Mild, substituting the Optimum Post Relaxer Moisturizer for the Sustenance. Dust ends. That's it!

I apply the moisturizers in the morning and night only according to if my hair feels like it needs it. It is hard for me to stick to a routine so this is my challenge. I plan to start this once I go to the salon to get my ends cut, and start fresh
