How many time have you change your Regimen?

From the beginning of your hair care journey until now.

Waaaay too many times to count! My one consistency is to wash once a week.

Do you mean products or methods??
I just added to it...like at first I washed and DC once a week, then i added a pre-poo, then I changed it to twice a week, and then I added no manipulation, then I added moisturizeing twice a day and then instead of using coconut oil to seal I used JBCO

Hmmm...I've been natural for over 2 years now, and I'm pretty sure my regimen changed every season .

 

[MzOptimistic]

I have kept the same regimen since I first joined

I have pretty much kept the same regimen since I have joined. I have changed my daily moisturizing products three times.

 

[EMJazzy]

3 times

I've changed my vitamin regimen a few times, but I've only recently changed my hair regimen. I'm trying for extremely low manipulation. So far it's working like a charm.

I would say about 3 times since Jan 06. When I was first growing it to BSL I would rollerset my hair once a week and wear a phony pony everyday then in September 06 the transitioning textures didn't match any phony pony so I changed it to wearing my own hair out in styles then when I went natural I completely switched and cut out shampoo and cowash everyday. I plan on changing it again starting next week cuz I'm moving from NY to TX and won't have time for all the extra attention I pay to my hair.

This was my question, too.

In any event...

...methods: I was shampooing and conditioning once every seven days. At the moment, I shampoo and condition every four days. I also use a protein treatment every three shampoos, and am set up for a deep conditioning appointment at the salon in about two weeks. I have actually slacked on the protein treatments, and my salon conditioning treatment on 8/20/07 was the first in over two years. In 2004-2005, I received steam conditioning treatments four weeks post-relaxer touch up.


Re: products: When I joined LHCF in 2003, I was using Kenra Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner. I then migrated to Keracare products, and then to the Mizani line. I have recently returned to Kenra. I am not using products containing mineral oil, petrolatum, or lanolin at the present time, or shampoos with SLS or ALS.

I have changed my regimen again and again and again. I couldn't find products that my hair liked. Then I was introduced to Keracare, Garnier Fructis, and VO5 and it's been love and consistency ever since.

Two words.....A LOT!

But one thing has been a constant I have done 90% of the time protective styles. It is the products and the number of times I use them per week that has done a change so much that it is just too ridiculous to even discuss.

I must admit though that this year I seem to have dealt with the same products on a regular basis than I have in the past few years.

love the braids mama

Tooo many to count!

 

[Poohbear]

Over 150 times!

ETA: I just noticed that this is my 13,000th post!!!! WOW! :Blush2:

 

[MissFallon]

I change my products almost every month sometimes every week depending on what I bought or wanted to try. My regimen stays pretty consistent when I pick one but the products change very often.

I change my regimen everytime I get fed up and frustrated. And then I get over it. And then I get fed up and frustrated and change my regimen. And then I get over it.

And the funny thing is, no matter what I change to - I tend to go back to basically what was my original regimen.

I'm a 4abcdefg natural - my regiment:
- Wash 2-3 times a week
- Wash with Hello Hydration Conditioner (I 'poo probably twice a month)
- Squeeze dry (no towel drying for me - it helps me maintain my curl pattern).
- Apply Organix Mango Curl Constructor Lotion (Leave-In COnditioner with some great oils).
- Apply some Fantasia IC Polisher (basically 'cones. I've used a lot of different brands from KMS to KeraCare and they all do essentially the same thing, they just smell different. The ingredients don't even vary).
- Apply Fantasia IC Gel with Sparkalites (the WHITE one, not the blue one. I've actually had more success with the one for normal hair - the one for color treated hair tends to make my hair dry) in 4 sections.

Shake my head.
GO!

I do miss the rollersets. I didn't sign up for LHCF until I decided to go natural and then all ya'll ladies started coming with the great wrap and roller-set tutorials and pictures. Makin a natural sister jealous.
