Ladies, after digging up old threads on Cathy Howse, i've realized that the system and the results from using her methods are beyond inspiring!!
I'm tired of jumping from one regimen to another. Although i have no problems retaining length, I really need to just stick to one solid regimen that clearly works.
Being consistent has been a key factor in achieving gorgeous, thick and long tresses for many long haired ladies. Natural or Relaxed
The Rules (taken from the hairlista group):
1. Wash your hair 2 times a week with acid ph balance shampoo/moisturizing shampoo/sulfate free shampoo (This is optional..personally, i only shampoo when needed)
2. Apply UBH protein deep conditioner or any of your favorite protein conditioner once a week or every other week or you can use cathy howse's recipe:
16 oz of reconstructor or protein conditioner (please ensure that mineral oil is NOT an ingredient)
8 ounces of olive oil
4 ounces of coconut oil
1 teaspoon of peppermint oil
(You can alternate between your moisture DC and your protein one)
MUST USE 'HEAT' (i.e. DC with a plastic cap overnight etc) OR YOUR WASTING YOUR MONEY ON DC PRODUCTS!
make sure you follow with moisturizing conditioner after this for 15 mins
3. NEVER let your hair dry without any leave ins.
4. Limit blow dryer with cool button or no blow dryer
5. NO HAIR BRUSHES!!!!
6. Moisturize your hair with UHB creme moisturizer or dew moisturizer spray 2 or 3 times a day OR use your own moisturizer and oil to seal 2 times a day whatever you prefer
7. Comb only on wash days
8. Stretch your relaxers (try up to 10 weeks or more)
10. limit your direct heat to 1 or 2x a month
11. You can buy her books but I dont think it is necessary since we have this site anyway so save your money.
I will not be using her products but just her techniques instead!!
If you're tired of being stuck at one length or you're regimen challenged,
THIS CHALLENGE IS FOR YOU
