It has something to do with wearing extensions
Eating, combin shampooing right and so on

Ditto what Nekee said. I think it's Robin's complete regimen which is the ten steps listed here.

i think the whole regimen is a crock personally,if you are infact,asking my opinion,but i hope it works for you if you try it(my hair would run away from home if i even put the idea in my head)

You also might want to send a message to Den1, she follows this routine.

From what I gather, you are to wear your hair in a protected style (whether that is braids, or something where you are not constantly combing, brushing, curling your hair etc. Also not having it rub against your clothes causing split ends)

The next step seems to be keeping your hair really, really moisturized so that your hair doesn't break from being dry.

She also uses a hair strengthener with the moisturizer.

Hello Bronxbaby87
I currently employ the crown and glory methods to my hair regime. You or your hairdresser parts the hair in medium sized sections and applies single exstensions firmly (not tightly)to individual partings, leave them in for 1-2 months.

During the time braids are wornn you must moisturise daily with African Pride braid sheen spray and strengthen them with a leave-in treatment called Infusium 23 Original for damaged/unmanageable hair.

Once a week, wash the hair twice with creme of nature shampoo, diluted in a large cup of warm water. After this wrap towel around braids to soak up extra water.

For conditioning, pour braid spray into plastic bowl, then dip the towel in and wrap it around and press it onto the braids to give the hair enough moisture, next spray infusium on scalp and hair.

After two months, carefully remove braids without damage to hair, your hair is supposed to have some moisturise, not dry/breaking.

To avoid unecessary tangling/breakage during the shampoo, place hair in four large braids/twists then wash with a my hair with clarifying shampoo (the recommended one is Sebastian Laminates Shampoo) to only remove build up (then switch back a week later to normal creme of nature).

Deep condition with the recommended Le kair cholesterol strengthening and conditioning creme for 40-60 minutes with plastic cap, hooded dryer etc, before you wash the conditioner out firstly, detangle each hair section and comb out gently, re-braid sections, finally, rinse out cond. Apply oils/moisturising products. Optionally you could use Robin's ends sealing technique if you ends are shedding, locks in moisture down to the cortex, to prevent furthur shedding/dyness.

Keep hair in protective styles, redoing them once a week for two months. I wear natural bantu knots, cornrows, twists and cover my hair satin scarves, before I go to sleep.

Continue washing and conditioning hair once week and moisturise daily with braid spray/infusium (I tend to use more heavier creamier moisturisers like breakfree).

After the two months your ready to apply exstensions, again.

And this is the whole technique from start to finish.......
