1.What moisturizing shampoo are you using on your hair? Not using a shampoo regularly, maybe once every two to three months or so and I usually mix it with an oil. I mainly do cowashes. But if I do start using a shampoos regularly, I will do the Dr. Bonner recipe that Tracee has. It is a mixture of Bonner, water and oil.

2.How often are you shampoo/conditioning? Since I cowash almost daily I guess I am conditioning daily, but deep conditioning I am doing at least once a week.

3. When you do twistouts, what are you putting on your hair while it is wet to give it a shine? I do twist outs few and far between. I am a HYH gal for right now. To give my hair shine I am using oils, Sabino Moisture Block and spray sheens with oil to give me some shine.

4. Are you rollersetting as well as twistouts? If so what type of rollers are you using for your hair? Have not ventured into this one yet. I know for me and my hair it will require setting aside at least half a day to do rollers or anytype of setting so I have not done that yet, but when I do I will post pics. As I said before twistouts are few and far between because of the HYH route I am taking right now.

5. Are you trimming your own ends or are you going to a professional? I do dusting and have not done that often in the past 2 years. I had a lot of uneven ends but now they are in pretty good shape from what I can tell with my hair being natural. Don't think I will venture into a salon to have someone handle my hair with regards to trimming. No not going there at all.

I think Tracee even showed a youtube on how to trim hair particularly when it is should length and longer so when or if I ever decide to press it again I will take a look at the ends and if they need a trim do the Tracee method.

I am a DIY'er and I have managed to keep most of my hair on my head and setbacks have been very minimal.

[JustKiya]

1.What moisturizing shampoo are you using on your hair? I don't use shampoo, at all - it's too drying. When I need to clean my hair, I use a mix of amla, shikakai and fo-ti mixed into my conditioner.

2.How often are you shampoo/conditioning? It varies. Usually once a week, but sometimes longer.

3. When you do twistouts, what are you putting on your hair while it is wet to give it a shine? I don't do twistouts - that's an invitation to tangle-city, and my bus doesn't like stopping there.

4. Are you rollersetting as well as twistouts? If so what type of rollers are you using for your hair? Nope, no rollersets for me, either. Again, one-way ticket to tanglecity.

5. Are you trimming your own ends or are you going to a professional? Trimming my own, on the rare times that I do trim. I think it's been 2 years since I've taken scissors to my head, now.

1.What moisturizing shampoo are you using on your hair?
I don't use shampoo. I either do a baking soda rinse (baking soda/water diluted well) or add a teaspoon of baking soda to my conditioner.
2.How often are you shampoo/conditioning?
Ummm, never. Well really, I might use baking soda once a month if my hair is feeling especially dirty; usually I rinse my hair with water every day while I'm in the shower and that keeps my hair clean and moisturized. I haven't used a conditioner in several months, but I use oil daily (castor) and coconut oil when combing/detangling. I use coconut milk as conditioner sometimes as well.
3. When you do twistouts, what are you putting on your hair while it is wet to give it a shine?
When I do bantu knot outs (twist, then bantu knot) I use Oyin's honey hemp conditioner. It moisturizes well and when my hair is moisturized it shines as much as it's going to.
4. Are you rollersetting as well as twistouts? If so what type of rollers are you using for your hair?
I don't rollerset.

5. Are you trimming your own ends or are you going to a professional?
I dust my own when I'm not too lazy. Otherwise, no trims.

5. Are you trimming your own ends or are you going to a professional
I haven't done a real trim since my BC (Feb 2008). Just a dust. When I do eventually trim, it'll be on my own. I don't trust professionals to trim my hair anymore; they always cut more than I want.
