Just bumping up the thread. How's everyone doing with their regimen? I'm still DCing twice a week.

 

[LoveisYou]

I'm in, here's my regimen

wash/co-wash 2x weekly
DC 2x weekly - I day Cathy Howse's Conditioner, 1 day Aceite de Olivia conditioner
Aphogee every six weeks
relax every 10 weeks
minimum direct heat (will be rollersetting a lot)
vitamins - multi, b5, msm and fish oil

Surprisingly I have been sort of following her regime without even knowing it!

Since its too late to actually join the challenge, I will be following along for the last six months (or so).

My regimen:

wash/co-wash - at least 2 times weekly (poo of choice: Devacurl Low Poo)
Porosity Control - once a week
DC at least once week (I follow this rotation: Week 1) Megatek (protein) followed by a deep moisture DC Week 2) Alter Ego Garlic Condish Week 3) Condish of choice (I have other collections to get thru))
Leave In conditioner
JBCO/argan oil/Vatika
Vitamins via green shakes, plus: MSM, Omega 3-6-9, garlic

On weeks 2 & 3, I apply an overnight light protein conditioner before bed then wash out the next morning.

I change this up a little for the summer.

Shampooed tonight with NuGro shampoo. DC'ed with Aphogee 2 minute mixed with EVOO, EVCO and peppermint EO. Now using a moisturizing DC.
Still shampooing and DC'ing twice per week.

How's everyone doing with their regimen? This thread is awfully quiet.

I've been sticking to this challenges requirements just about to a 'T'. I do wash twice a week, one shampoo and one cowash. The only thing that I don't do is the protein treatment EVERY week. I wasn't too sure about doing one in the beginning anyway so I have stuck to using ORS Hair Mayo every other week. And I don't mix the OO and peppermint oil with the mayo, I mix it in with my conditioner when I do the cowash instead. Hope this isn't that big of a deal. Other than that, everything is going pretty smooth. I am so looking forward to a big difference at the end of this challenge.

quietly playing along. I think I am going to try to make her conditioner this weekend.

Still following along on this one.

 

[janda]

I'm still going strong with her regimen. My hair needed protein in her life-- who knew?

Thanks Ladies......

I used the UBH DC'er for the 1st time tonight. Very thankful for this thread, because I was going to try to use it each wash-day. ....

After using it, I've decided I'd be better off using this just once a week. I followed up tonight with a Conditioning Rinse (Jasmine's Shea Butter Cream Rinse) but decided I'd better STEAM after this with a Uber Moisturizing DC'er.

I do have HV Moist 24/7 and Oyin Honey Hemp (and others), so I may try the conditioning rinse-out again.

Thanks Again! This thread was very helpful and informative.

When I first joined I deep conditioned with conditioner mixed with oils twice a week with heat for at least 30 min and my hair flourished! That is when I got the most growth. I guess I need to go back to my first love. Now is a good time to begin since I was not happy with my results after a 6 month stretch.

I fell of of this so bad. I've been conditioning and co-washing, etc... But I'm really thinking of doing a BC for the first time and just growing from there, to be honest. My hair ain't that bad, but I just had an issue with breakage and twists, etc that I'm looking at my hair right now and I want to start fresh.

Probably do it in May. I'm not rocking twists anymore since I'm saw them starting to chew my ends up. My fine hair can't take it.

i got the best growth with cathy

 

[ANUBIS]

jumping on this 1...ordered my deep cond and creme moisturizer 3 days ago!!! cant wait to get back into the swing of growing my hair and knowing im retaining length. only thing that ever worked for my hair

 

[Luscious850]

I love the CH regimen. My hair flourished when I first discovered it in Summer 2k7. Since then I went from bandwagon to bandwagon and my hair didn't like any of them.

I've been pretty consistent with this regimen since September 2k10 and I haven't had any kind of set back. My hair is much thicker and healthier.

 

[NewHairWOWeave]

I will be joining this challenge. It's nice to stick to one reggie and get some more length

 

[mzteaze]

So are we going to start a new challenge for the next year?

 

[ANUBIS]

we should start a strict one where ladies only use UBH products so we can collectively see the results instead of people substituting all over the place with different products getting different results...
