I haven't been able to do my hair last week after just putting some leave in and castor oil then up in a braid and at night high loose bun. So I finally got to my hair this weekend and I went all out.
Shampoo: neutrogena no residue shampoo, rinse well warm water (I shampooed my scalp not my hair and let the suds rinse down the hair)
Clarified: acv and warm water (1 part acv to 18 parts water) rinse well warm water
Protein Deeep Condition: 2 eggs, 4 tablespoons grape seed oil- 1 hour under hooded dryer, rinse very well warm water
Oil: Evco scalp massage leave in
Deep Condition: CRN coconut water DC mixed with oils and honey -overnight under plastic cap and microfiber turban.
Next morning
Rinse out
Leave in CRN moisture Milk and Moisture Butter (concentration on ends first then hairshaft, roots) and I went in heavy with the products. For edges and parts curls blueberry edge control and CRN curl maker gel, then styled in 4 flat twist braids like in Natural Neiceys video upthread.
After the protein DC my hair felt better and stronger but not dry or hard I think I needed a really good DC session to get my curls back on track.
My curls were poppin I almost did a wash n go but since I want to maximize moisture retention and keep my styles low manipulation for the week it's PS city for now.
Also I stopped wearing the baggie bun for a while because it's just too heavy for my hair now especially my edges and I see some short hairs in the sides I want to be sure it's not my bun doing it. I had a headache the other day and couldn't figure out why until I took my bun and scrunchie and bun cover down.

sorry this happened to you
This is the story of my life. I have no problem trimming my hair, i just don't want the trendy bob or blunt cut or trendy haircut they want to give me. My hair doesn't grow blunt, my crown is always much longer....stylists don't understand that I'm ok with the way my hair naturally grows.
well that's why I'm asking my sister to trim my hair tonight...

Sooo I have been completely MIA pretty much since august but its that's due to school.
Update:
I installed box braids on myself(never do that again, it took me 4 days) in the middle of August.I go to college in a Texas so my hair was starting to get kinda of dry in the braids, so I took them out at the end of September. Because my hair was so dry due to the new climate,my hair was super tangley, I actually had to cut out some small knots out of my hair. After that I did a full wash routine on my hair and styled for flat twist out. I am still washing my hair 2x a week for the most part and I switch between braidouts and flat twists outs. I have also been keeping up with my reggie for the most part, but I have been slacking on my sulfur oil and scalp massages. sometimes. I have also incorporated some new things into my reggie:
-refreshing my hair at night with plain water and a oil
-detangling my hair using a revised version of Nap85 detangling method
Will update with pictures this weekend.

I've been in super maintenance mode again. I put some medium box braids in to wear under my wig. Have been cowashing daily with a shampoo and DC at least once a week. I do the LOC method but I am switching to a creamier leave-in for my L instead of a liquid spray when it was warmer.

The pictures from the blue shirt is after a blowout and a fresh trim that got rid of all my dead and damaged ends in August. The red cami was taken last week. I think I gotten a decent amount of growth but I feel like my hair is getting thicker, which is kinda of strange due to the factor my hair is already very thick.

What's Ayurvedic oil scalp massage with scalp invigorator?
How's your hair reacting now?
You really love castor oil I noticed

My hair update:
I'm still using my hair concoction with Trader Joe's Nourish Spa Conditioner, oils, & water in a spray bottle as a leave-in. Followed up with Cantu Shea Butter for natural hair coconut curling cream. And sometimes I apply the Trader Joe's Aloe Vera gel. With the cold air here & winter approaching I need to start using my ayurvedic powders & make a Butter concoction.
As of late (few weeks) I noticed my hair gets knotted after finger combing/combing so I know that's a sign of needing a trim. But first I think I need to do a protein treatment.
Still experiencing less hair fall when I keep my hair moisturized.

It's not all one word
I used my own Auurvedic oil for scalp massage and massaged with the scalp massager I got a while ago love it instead of massaging for 15m with my hands. I just use it for 5-10m there's tons of good reviews on it I got the one with the silicon over the plastic.
My hair just seems to respond better to castor oil especially in winter. Also wheat germ oil worked good for me too it's just harder to find now.
My hair is better now but not at its best yet. I have to start steaming again but more intensely I think I'm going to up my steaming to weekly along with my weekly DCs I've already started to combat this seasonal dryness.

so that further prevented my weekly treatments. I feel a lot better now so it's on

I found this video today and tried it. My hair looks amazing! Super curly. I haven't used the denman in a while and I thought my hair hated SM Curling Smoothie, but I guess it just needs a very small amount.
This week I'm getting a deva cut, fingers crossed that it turns out well. But looking at these pictures, I'm pretty excited to get my hair shaped into something.

Thank you @Lucia for posting those curly hair winter regimens. I especially love CourtneyCurls video. I'm definitely going out to purchase the Aunt Jackie's moisturizing flaxseed butter.
Took down my two pigtails today after keeping them in all week and moisturized under a wig. Hair will be worn down today until I come home to wash. I think I will do either a co-wash cleanse or use ayurvedic powders.
