Gosh, your hair is so pretty what is your routine and secret for keeping and growing out and protecting that lenght? What products do you use?
Thanks you! I don't really have a secret - I promise.
My regimine:
I wash once a week if my hair has be dried with heat (rollerset/blowdry/flat iron) and twice a week or more if it's been airdried.
I pretreat once a week regardless. I apply evoo to dry hair. Then I make a mixture of evoo/coconut oil/humectress/honey and heat it up in the microwave for a few seconds and then apply that to my hair for 30 - 60 minutes.
I shampoo with nexxus therappe each time I wash, but I *am* trying to make it a goal to use shampoo less and CO wash more.
I apply humectress with a plastic cap in the shower for 5 - 10 minutes and then rinse under the stream of the water and detangle with my jibere shower comb.
Then I apply a creamy leave-in (my favorite is headress, but I also use Rusk, or some humectress) and an oil or serum and do whatever I'm going to do with my hair (usually rollerset the first few weeks after my relaxer and then braidouts and buns as I get farther into it).
Every other week or so, I mix humectress and keraphix and use that together. Once every month (not really, more like when I feel like it) I use Paul Mitchell Tea Tree shampoo to clarify and Supercharged Moisturizing Con (I like to use products together).
I relax with Mizani Mild every 8-12 weeks (closer to 12, but sometimes I have things to do). The week before I get a relaxer, I make sure to use keraphix and the week after I make sure to use emergencee.
*****************
This summer, I'm trying to stretch my relaxer out to 20 - 21 weeks (around the first week of August) and I also plan to give deep conditioning a try because I really hate to do it and the last time I *tried* my hair didn't really like it!
