TYPE 4= RELAXED & NATURALS.....post your "current" REGIMEN

[tHENATuRALhAiRpRoJEcT]

My regimen - When Im not in weave:


Wash hair once per wk w/ CV poo bar (luv honey butter and marshmallow)
or Clarify as needed with Bentonite Clay (luv it) or KC Come Clean
Oil Rinse with rice bran oil or peanut oil
Detangle with a moisturizing condish such as Natures Gate or Yes to Cucumbers
Massage my scalp with Castor Oil (I really need some JBCO in my life!)
Deep Condition w/ HV Sitrinillah or SheaMoisture Deep Treatment (w/ heat 30 mins, w/out 30 mins or longer)
Leave in: water/glycerine, KCKT or KBB Hair milk, seal with coconut oil, then add sheamoisture milk - so its a 4 step leave in process that I also use when I baggy as well...makes my hair soooo soft.
If my relaxed ends are feeling weak I use SSI Seyani Butter.
For styling I luv Donna Marie lock and twist pudding, I use it to set my braid outs.

i really wish the JBCO agreed with me
having to sell everything b/c of the itchy scalp it generated

1600+ views and only 46 posts? Interesting.

This made me feel guilty because I surely do stalk this thread but never posted.

My current reggie [relaxed 4a/b, thick, coarse]:

*Prepoo with BB preshampoo avocado trtment or EVCO when time permits
*Shampoo 1x weekly with a SLS-free poo (currently using Giovanni SAS, huge bottle for $12 from TJMaxx)
*Co-wash mid week or as needed after workouts.
*DC 1-2x per week with a moisturizing DC (Parnevu Hair Mayo+AOHSR)
*Aphogee 2 min reconstructor + ORS Pak 1x per month
*Leave Ins: Giovanni Direct & Aphogee Keratin & Green Tea
*M&S nightly with Bee Mine Luscious Cream and BM Hair & Scalp Moisturizer.
*Very little direct heat (3-4x per year), low mani styles mostly (rollersets and braidouts), occasional caruso, buns, wigs/halfwigs.

Best Leave In - I really like the Giovanni Direct.
Best moisturizer - will always be the Bee Mine Luscious Balanced Cream Moisturizer!!!!
Best Oil - depends on the look I'm wearing. Heavy = EVOO, Braidout = EVCO, Light for rollerwrap = Sweet Almond.
Best Detangler = Mane & Tail.

Rinse with luke warm water and detangle as I rinse out the DC.
Apply my leave-ins: Soultanicals Sorrell Kink Drink, Oyin Hair Dew and either ST Marula Maru or CR JAI Twist butter.
Put my hair in flat twists or do a curlformers set.
Mid-week, I will finger detangle and re-moisturize my hair with distilled water and oyin hair dew.

 

[GGsKin]

Standard wash day:
Water rinse (long enough to remove old gel from hair).
Clay wash (I mix my own bentonite and rhassoul + other goodness, between 14-16oz in an applicator bottle. Either rinse immediately, or leave for 30 min.
Oil rinse with grapeseed and sunflower oil (focusing sunflower on the ends).
Shingle diluted KCCC.

If I'm using protein or moisture conditioner, I will apply and rinse these before my clay step.
