My regimen:
I shampoo my hair 1x per week (sometime 1.5 times) with PhytoSpecific Products. I do a pre-shampoo treatment with a mix I made (castor oil and coconut oil with lavender, cedarwood, ylang ylang, peppermint, and rosemary essential oils added). I always deep condition with each shampoo as well.
As for protein, well I am still trying to use this like I should. My relaxer (PHYTORELAXER) comes with a mild protein (similar to keraphix) so I use that every 2 weeks and mix it with my PhytoSpecific conditioner of choice. I have Emergencee and use that one week after I relax.
I do not use direct heat on the length of my hair. I will use a flat iron on my roots at times when I get to 10 weeks post relaxer.
I do use indirect heat. Meaning I mainly rollerset my hair and I will sit under a hooded dryer with the heat on medium.
Nightly styles. I have gotten out of the wrapping my hair at night, so I mainly pincurl my hair at night. Nothing else really. I apply the same oil mix that I use for a pre-shampoo treatment on my scalp nightly as well. I also apply castor oil with sandalwood added to the length of my hair; paying special attention to my ends.
I only trim when I need to.
Vitamins: I take a regular ole multivitamin for women that also has iron, calcium, and zinc. I also take 1600 mcg of Biotin. I recently added (as of 1/23/05) Silica gel to my vitamin list. I also take aloe vera juice (2 oz/day), but I take this for digestive reasons.

For starters I have a picture of all the products I use in my fotki album.
I wash and deep condition (with heat) my hair every 3-4 days with a moisturizing conditioner, every other week Ill use a mild protein conditioner, and if I have breakage Ill use Aphogee.
I airdry and wear buns 95% of the time and most times Ill do the baggie method to keep my ends moist.
When I use heat I flat-iron my hair and wrap to keep it maintained.
I relax once every 10-14 weeks with a no-lye relaxer.

Wash every 3-4 days
Shampoo with one of the following- Nexxus sleektress shampoo, elasta qp shampoo for relaxed hair, elasta qp scalp stimulating shampoo, ors aloe and ors uplifting shampoo
Rinse hair and follow with porosity control conditioner for just a minute (I only do this step when I have alot of newgrowth)
Condition with either ORS replenishing conditioner, Pantene breakage defense mask or Kenra moisturizing conditioner for atleast 15-20 minutes.
I also use Joico Kpak intense hydrator conditioner every other week.
If I feel I need extra protein I will use joico kpak for just a couple of minutes or smooth and shine silk fusion conditioner packet.
I apply my leave ins, sunsilk creams or giovanni direct and rollerset. I spray my whole head with nexxus heat protexx spray before going under the dryer.
I lighly oil my scalp with something like kemi oil or ORS scalp relief oil. I massage in into my scalp and out through my ends. I will use a cream moisturizer maybe the day after a fresh wash but I usually don't have to use anything until 2 days after if that at all.
After I hit the 4 week post mark, I will pre saturate my hair in oil like coconut or amla to make my newgrowth softer when washing.

My Saturday regime consists of a preshampoo with castor and camellia oils mixed with essential oils of rosemary and peppermint which I allow to percolate for an hour or longer, wash with phytoneutre or ors olive shampoo, protein treatment with a blend of silk, wheat, marine, cottonseed under the dryer for 20-30 minutes, rinse, deep condition with phytojoba or icon inner home, rinse, phyto7 leave in, seal with a blend of castor and camellia oils - just a few drops, roller set. When I get home, up it goes.
My Wednesday regime consists of shampoo with phytojoba, deep condition with phytojoba with heat, phyto7 leavein, seal with a blend of castor and camellia oils, and into a bun.
On all other days, I cowash, leavein, seal, and put into a little bun.

I have a 8 week cycle of my hair, and I leave it in two strand twists for two weeks at a time, which I usually wear in a flat twisted updo.
I DC with a watered down cheapie con & do an ayurvedic rinse on twisted hair on the even weekends
On the odd weekends I do: Henna/Caramel/Protion/Caramel for a full 8 week cycle.
During the week, I take down my updo (usually on Wednesday) and give myself a scalp masage with amla oil. I also give myself scalp massages everytime I wash my hair.

DDS...Don't Do ****.
It's my new regimen. Of coarse I'll be moisturizing and I'll be careful with the heat when I use it. But I want to see how not thinking about my hair works.

Step-by-Step Regimen from my fotki journal:
1. PRE-TREATMENT - before shampooing, w/a variation of following, on dry hair: oil on dry hair, heat under plastic cap. When I have a lot of new growt,: I mix a variation of these:
---Honey,
---Coconut milk and coconut oil,
---Conditioner, or
---Mango/Carrot cholesterol (not as much)
I heat this concoction in the microwave first, apply it to my hair, and gently detangle my hair with a shower comb.
2. FINGER-PART in 2-6 braids or loose scrunchies – depends on amt of ng
3. SHAMPOO THREE-PART STEP:
---Undue each part individually and
---Shampoo roots ONLY –
-----(most of the time, I conditioner-wash)
---Re-braid sections or put hair back into scrunchy
4. CONDITION: Used to use six-week regimen from Carolyn Gray's book. Now I am simplifying my products. I use Silicon Mix w/KeraCare Humecto...
5. Apply w/Capilo Sole and Cinnamon or Roux Porosity Control, detangle, then rinse.
7. Add leave-in conditioner: Giovanni Direct Leave-In (lately I have done what Lauren450 does, which is to simply use oil, but I use Leave-In and oil, if I have a lot of ng)
8. Airdry or Rollerset (mohawk, reverse style) - Use spritz bottle with plain water with each section, if I rollerset
9. DETANGLE Gently – with wide-tooth comb
10. MOISTURIZE on daily basis–
--Leave-in
--S-Curl (only if I am going to bun my hair up...using this less and less lately...too much build-up) Lately I use Giovanni Direct-Leave-in daily
--Seal or jojoba, coconut, or avocado oil to seal in moisture
11. TREAT ENDS: Profectiv - Anti-Breakage (I Use only for my baggies now, haven't in months)
12. TREAT NEW GROWTH: Soften Dry NG (when necessary)
--Finger-parting small sections and
--Spritzing NG w/a concoction of water and natural oils
13. STYLE:
--mostly in a bun, i.e., donut bun (as main protective style)
--(I need to bun less because it is straining my nape)
--roller set once a week or every other week
14. RELAX: Affirm - every 12 weeks
(Used to use Optimum and Mizani, and experienced underprocessing and severe matting)
15. BEDTIME:
--Baggie, or
--Hair in a bun with one big roller at end and
--Silk scarf (always, always, always) if it falls off, my satin pillow is a backup.

I'm laughing..
My original post hasn't really changed that much other than when it comes to washing it's a shampoo bar or a sulfate free poo aka CON/Jason's.
For breakage, fallen back on using the heavy Aphogee and moreso using light/medium protein conditioners.
Condition on dry hair overnight/follow up with additional deep conditioning.
Main products used are in siggy.
touchup 2-3 times a year.

REGULAR REGIMEN
Once per week, shampoo with CON Old Formula (it's so moisturising I don't need to pre-poo) and then maybe ORS Creamy Aloe if I want to clarify.
After shampooing, I do a light protein treatmeant with ORS Mayo or Aphogee 2 Minute. I recently bought Silicon Mix Proteina de Perla but I haven't tried it yet.I follow up the protein with Humecto as my moisturizing DC. BPT Wheat Germ Conditioner is in my stash, let's see if it becomes a keeper.
After shampoo and DC, I apply Chi Silk Infusion or One n Only Argan Oil
. Maybe mix one of those with Keracare Foam Wrap Lotion and sit under a dryer. I usually add CSI or OOAO again when I'm dry to give my hair shine.
Twice a day, I moisturize with Organics by Africa's Best Shea Butter and Tea Tree Oil
Daily, apply Claudie's Elixir and/or Megatek to scalp and edges.
WEAVE REGIMEN
Shampoo and DC entire head every 10 to 14 days
Shampoo and DC leave out every 5 to 7 days. Apply Chi Silk Infusion to wet leave out, dry with blow dryer on cool setting (aka super fast air drying), apply Chi Silk Infusion to dried leave out, spray on flat iron heat protection spray and then flat iron with Sedu on lowest setting (250 degrees.)
Moisturize Leave out twice a day with Organics by Africa's Best Shea Butter and Tea Tree Oil
Moisturize canerow base (you say cornrows?) with S Curl 360 Stylin' Afro Hair Softener. I prefer it over Wave Nouveau Finishing Mist. It's funny how products bought on a whim can become staples
Once or twice per day I apply growth aids to my edges and that little bald spot *sigh*
