LynnieB · Dec 11, 2008

Same ole boring '08 routine's gonna carry me through '09.

Poo:
Something moisturizing, occasional clarifying poo, occasional no poo/lo poo in the summer.

Conditioner:
Something moisturizing, AO HSR, Lustrasilk cholesterol, Aphogee 2 step as needed, Vo5 for cowash, an Herbal Essence con.

Leave-in conditioner: Elucence MB (or Vo5) mixed with water and used as a spritz. Jojoba or Wonder 8 on the ends as needed.

Poo once every 7-10 days, more in summer.

Condition after every poo. Deep condition after every poo.

Detangle after every poo, sometimes before if there's alot of tangling. No combing/brushing dry hair.

Variety of styles, occasional rollerset or a flatiron but definitely low/no heat/low manipulation, some twists and lots of braid/twist outs.

Those are the basics in my KISS regimen. It got me this far and hope it'll get me to WL in '09.

DMJ's Mom · Dec 11, 2008

My reggie is going to stay the same
Co wash daily
Shampoo weekly
DC overnight 2-3 times a week.
I may change may reggie after I meet my goal.

**SaSSy** · Dec 11, 2008

The same things I been doing since July 26, 2008:

Shampooing 2x a week with either Trader Joe's nourish spa, or Aveda Dry Remedy. 2x a month using Aveda detoxic shampoo

Deep Conditioned/pre-poo with Trader Joe's mourish spa, AG Honeysuckle Rose, or Lustraslick shea butter cholesterol 2 to 3 times a week, and after every wash.

Mega-tek until my hair gets to BSL 3x a week

Wet bunning everyday unless special occasion, and moisturizing 2x a day with multiple things and sealing with oils, then putting my ends in a baggie until I get to BSL.

Relaxing a min. of every 10 weeks.

msa · Dec 11, 2008

I think I'm going to prohibit myself from doing wash-n-go's/shrunken fro's and fake hair in 2009.

Every 3-7 days:
Oil treatment with coconut and castor oil on damp hair.
Rinse w/water.
Bantu Knot with shea butter on damp hair. Detangle while styling.
Wear bantu knot out (curly fro, pinned up, etc.) for 3-7 days. Moisturize if my hair feels dry, either shea butter, castor, or coconut oil.
Repeat.

When I feel like it...wash with baking soda/water mix.

Eta: I think I'll just be doing twists because it'll keep my ends better protected. Since I can't find shea butter locally I won't be using it. I'm also thinking of adding aloe vera gel to my regimen. Decisions decisions.

Jhunt-smith · Dec 11, 2008

heres mine::

hairsothick · Dec 11, 2008

My regimen will be as follows:

Shampoo 1x a week (still looking for a staple shampoo)

Co-wash 2-3x a week with the goodies I just bought

Megatek mixture on my scalp every other night

Deep Condition 2-3x a week with Pantene Time Renewal Replenishing Mask or Keracare Humecto (when I get some money for the tub)

Moisturize every night before bed and seal my ends

Wear a bun until spring and then do braidouts/twistouts for spring/summer

Relax every 10-12 weeks with ORS Olive Oil Relaxer

I've been using the no-lye version of this relaxer, but I'm going to try the lye version and see if there is a difference. I hear that lye is more moisturizing than no-lye and if my scalp isn't sensitive to it, then I will continue to use the lye version.

Only dusting when I feel like it's necessary

I'm going to try not to comb my hair. I have severe HIH syndrome so I don't know how that's going to work out. lol

Amelia456 · Dec 12, 2008

Shampoo: Biolage or Vatiman
Conditioners: Serlerm or Nexxus Humectress mixed with honey and any oil below
Leave In Conditioner: Serlerm or Carols Daughter Hair Milk
Oils: Jojoba, Coconut, Almond, Amla, and Shea Butter (I melt it before I apply it).

Although I have been washing weekly, I have decided to wash biweekly from now on.
However, I will still continue dc every week.
For my DC, I mix conditioner with honey and an oil. I put a lot in my hair. I kind of apply my dc like a perm. I place i plastic cap on my hair and let it set for about 2 hours.
After, I oil my scalp with jojoba oil and I use coconut oil on my ends. I reapply the jojoba oil to my scalp every other day because my scalp eats oils.
Then, I braid my hair in straight back corn rolls because I am hiding my hair for the winter. I spruce up the appearance by wearing fashion scarfs.
