First time getting hair done in one year. No relaxer, just straightened and a 1.5 inch trim. Second time using heat in a year. Still transitioning to natural, 1 year post.

@yora88 gurrrrl my reggie is a mess. I don't follow it regularly and I still don't have any staple products though I do like Nexxus and Mizani products.
Let’s see,
I co-wash 2-3 times per week and do a poo/conditioner wash maybe once a week on top of that, sometimes once every 2 weeks only after I play volleyball for several hours every other Friday night when I need to get the sweat and dirt out. My conditioners are Nexxus Humectress (moisture) and Nexxus Keraphix (protein). My poo is Mizani Bontanifying Conditioning Shampoo.
I’m not very good about DCing but when I do I use Nexxus Humectress Deep Conditioning Treatment, Nexxus ProMend Leave-In Treatment Crème, and Jamaican Black Castor Oil. I leave it in for about 2 hours with a cap on and no heat. I find that anything longer than that really doesn’t have any added benefit.
I use Nexxus Emergencée Conditioning Treatment and Aphogee 2-Minute Reconstructor once every 2 weeks but to be honest that doesn't usually happen that often. I use them on my DC days for sure though.
I will try to wash my hair at night and put it up in braids or twists to wear it out the next day. When styling my hair for a twist/braid out I use S-Curl No Drip Activator, Motions Nourishing Leave-In Spray and JB Castor Oil (sometimes I’ll throw it ProMend). If I do this past 11 PM, my hair will not be dry by 7 AM and it will end up being stringy otherwise it turns out very nice. Most of the moisture and why it is not dry is from washing my hair and not from using excess product. My hair is lo po so it takes a while for moisture to come and go.
If I don’t wash my hair at night and style it for a twist/braid out then I wake up, wash my hair and use the same products I would for a twist/braid out and either put it in a bun or a jaw clip. My hair will still be wet 12 hours later but I figure it doesn’t hurt to be moisturized that long and it’s also a protective style. The only thing I don’t like about this is that the middle of my hair gets VERY tangled especially if I do this a few days in a row even when I detangle in the shower.
I have only used heat three times that I can remember in the past year. I always sleep with a satin bonnet on whether I put twists/braids or I just wash my hair and put it in a bun. I never leave it loose in the bonnet because it’s still too much rolling around.
I don't know if I'll buy the ProMend again. It smells nice but I mostly use it to help detangle and style because it adds nice slip but I didn't see any results on my ends.
Other products I use are Mizani Supreme Oil Silicone & Mineral Oil Free and Nexxus Humectress Leave-In Spray
MixedGirl, that pic was after a salon visit. She washed, DCed for 30 minutes under a hooded dryer with a cap on, blowdried, straightened and then trimmed. I'm not sure what products she used.

DD#3 wore a Teyonah Parris at the SAG Awards-inspired hairstyle today. She's always wanted a fro-hawk, but her hair is too long for that. She's looking fierce today and we CAIN'T TELL HER NOTHIN!
I did it on an 8-day old blowdry. It took quite a few pins to get this:
Into this:
Wow! That is too cute... I'm loving it!
