MsKibibi - Old Member Back Again (PIC heavy)

[My Friend]

Aww thanks ladies. I appreciate the warm welcome.


I modify my regimen depending on the snow. So here is my winter regimen:

Wash Schedule:

• Frequency - I wash my hair every two weeks (or once a week if my scalp gets itchy).
• Cornrow Removal - I unbraid each cornrow and thoroughly comb out all of the shedded hair. If you do not remove the shedded hair before you wash, your hair will get tangled and matted.
• Shampoo - I shampoo three times. First, with diluted clarifying shampoo. Then twice with diluted moisturizing shampoo.
• Deep Condition - To save time, I mix my reconstructor and deep conditioner together. I apply and comb the mix through my hair, then deep condition under my hair steamer for 40 minutes.
• Leave-in Conditioner - I use a liquid and creamy leave-in and comb them through my hair.
• Drying Technique - I let my hair air dry hanging down, with a silk scarf wrapped around my neck.
• Edges - I apply a heat protectant and flat iron the hair I leave out. Although I have a lace front wig, I use it like an instant weave. For me, this looks more natural than having the wig sit on my forehead.

Daily Care:

• I remove the wig at night and spray the cornrows with braid spray mixed with Infusium 23 leave-in. I seal with either coconut oil or castor oil.
• I comb the wig daily to remove tangles. I do not apply any product to the wig.

Right now, I'm about 10 weeks post and I planned to relax at 12 weeks. When I relax, I will do a video showing how I self relax.

Thank you for taking the time to post your regi. Can you please list which products you use?

Sure, no problem. My shampoos are by Elucence and so it my reconstructor. I use Kenra Moisturizing Conditioner. For leave in, I use Chi Keratin Mist and Lacio Lacio. The Braid spray is BRX Braid Spray, which I mix with Infusium 23 leave in. My heat protectant is FHI Hot Sauce and Sabino Moisture block. I only use the Sabino on my edge and not on all my hair b/c I find its too heavy.

Hope this helps.
