how long do you wait between relaxers: aiming for 12 weeks
your hair care basics(aka bunning,co-washing etc.)
co-wash and DC 2x/wk. Protein as needed. my main protective style was bunning but I havent done that consistantly for about a month now. I have been doing flexirods mostly with a wash n go or braidout. I co-wash with Tresemme thermal recovery or Garnier moisture works conditioner. I am on a use up my stash personal challenge. So I don't have a fave cond right now. I would still say Miss Keys 10 n 1 and BioInfusion hydrating conditioning balm, are the most moisturizing so far
 
hairtype: 3c/4a

brand of relaxer: Silk Elements Lye-Mild formulation
how long do you wait between relaxers: 4-7 months
your hair care basics(aka bunning,co-washing etc.) Cowash almost everyday, shampoo/dc 1x/wk, chelate monthly or as needed, protective styles, rollerset maybe once/month. EVCO and JBCO are staple oils, everything else I rotate. Love, love, love my Dominican products and they are my base but I'm such a PJ, I have a little of everything. Once I use up all of my domestic products, I'll be switching back to a completely Dominican regimen
