On one of her videos, she stated that she uses her curling iron about 3x a week.
Her hair looks good! I watch her stuff just to see her in action. Listen PEOPLE!!!Her personality is contagious.
She's also got the technique for swang down to a T. But swang is not really in the products-- it's in the technique, which usually requires very LITTLE product. It's
1.) nice, even ends at a convenient length (sholder)
2.) freshly washed
3.) little product
4.) and multiple HEAT sources.
You will SWANG with that. But JCoily, I'm so with ya on that post. A regimen like that at that length is doable, if your goal is maintaining a particular, usually shorter length. Ateya may not necessarily be concerned with growing her hair out to any particular length though, so a regimen like that need not be well rounded. Then of course, shorter hair can take treatment like that easier b/c the hair and cuticle are "newer." But with length comes age, so adjustments would have to be made. How many of us came here with regimens like this to begin with? Nicely done up and on point at perpetual shoulder length.
Growth and retention long term are what you want to look at with any good regimen. A protein and heat heav regimen is not really the sort of regimen that would help you grow very much beyond your starting point. But she does have some weave tutorials to help you out in that department.![]()
This is what I thought but imo she used alot of product on her hair and I was amazed at the end result she achieved so was the swang really due to the dryer/blow dryer/flat iron technique she used?
I know her regimen has a lot of heat, but I don't think that she uses her irons everyday. I think that she does all of that on one day and wraps the remainder of the week. About 6 years ago, my regimen looked a lot like hers. Wash, condition (Motions CPR and Lekair cholesterol mix), blowdry or wrap and sit under dryer, and then flat iron. From my pictures, I can honestly say that I think that my hair looked better then.
Hmmmm-maybe all the products are lightweight.......
Hold up, I missed that one. I just have to see the narration on that one. People!![]()
She is a riotI'm subscribed!
yep, it did the same thing for me!! Mineral oil is the first ingredient I think....but it did provide lots of shine![]()

I'm glad I read this. I don't know if I want to try it now that I know it had mineral oil. I think I will stick to Profectiv Oil Sheen when I start using this regimen. I am using it now and I really like it, but wanted the Keracare because of the Humidity Guard.

it seems like she is missing a moisture deep conditioner in her regimen.
she does aphogee's 2 min and then starts to add her leave-ins...
i couldnt do it...![]()
From what I can see-- they are sprays and foam for the most part. She wasn't glopping moisturizing cremes and all kinds of oils and stuff after her hair dried. Her heat protectants and sprays and stuff went on wet hair and was dried in w/ the hooded dryer, then blowdried in, then flatironed. Very little product after the hair was dried. If she were to do all of that after sitting under the dryer and blowdrying- we wouldn't be up in this thread.![]()
(She was a lil heavy handed on that ChI silk fusion, thoughDid y'all see where she said someone wanted to see how much she was putting in her hand-- (3:42)-- I had to keep rewinding that part.
She said HEEEEEERRE!!!
)
I am seriously going to try that peanut brittle y'all.
I could be wrong but I think she uses the Aphogee Balancing Moisturizer which is supposed to correct hair's moisture balance. I thought I heard her say that she uses it. Anyway even if she didn't mention it, I went out and bought some along with the 2 Min; the shampoo; the 2 Step Protein; the Pro-Vitamin Leave-in Spray. I loved the shampoo and it did not tangle my hair. I'm deep conditioning my hair right now with the Balancing Moisturizer as I have just treated my hair w/the 2 Step Protein. I am 6 weeks post and I have a lot of ng to manage. It's getting a little difficult to style because of the thickness. I have to wait 2 more weeks until my hair stylist returns from vacation and I don't want to loose anymore hair to breakage. I'll let you all know how this works for me.

Yes, they are and, if you notice, she does not put anything additional on her hair before finishing off with blowdrying.
She also mentioned that her hair was never like that before. IMHO, if it weren't healthy, it would not swing like that.
Go 'head Ateyaa!! You have beautiful hair.
I've watched a lot of Ateyaa's videos and people, she is pure comedy people.......I can't rock with her regimen though because most aphogee products suck IMO and that oil sheen was some of the worst I've ever tried....

I know some people have mentioned they have tried her routine and it doesn't work. You have to remember she said in one video that it took her a few months of proper care to even get her hair to a healthy state so it looked shiny and swingy. It wasn't overnight according to her.
