I just saw this. Has the challenge started? This clearly is where I need to start. I love what I am reading but sometimes as a newbie, you can get lost in the abbreviations and the names of all the products, WHEW!! I need to start here and work my way up. So has the challenge started?

Oh, thank you! I'm in. What are the rules? Do we have a deadline?
I think SistaSlick's article on finding a regimen will work good for guidelines. This is great for motivation.

Hello Ladies!!

I DID IT!!! Im glad to report that I have found a regimen. Its based on 2x weekly washes, one with a protein treatment and one with a deep conditioner.
My regimen is as follows:
--Wash with Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose Shampoo
--ORS Mayo Hair treatment for protein (on DC washings, I use Pantene Pro-V for women of color, Deep Conditioning Hair Masque)
--After ORS Mayo, I use Herbal Essences Totally Twisted for Curls and Waves Conditioner
--Giovanni Direct Leave-In Conditioner
--Pantene Pro-V moisturizer (also using Profectiv Growth Lotion Moisturizer and Nourish and Shine)
--Castor Oil as a sealant.
OMG, in the short time that I have been on the boards and this site I have learned so much!! I used my regimen last night and did a protein treatment. After I sealed my hair, I twisted and my hair hasn't felt this soft or looked so healthy in a long time. I am very hopeful now and on the way to long wonderful hair that I love!!

Thanx ladies

I really need some sort of regiman something i'll stick to and not get fustrated with i'd love to join

I'm a newbie and I'd like to join. I've purchased Phyto products, Keracare, Aubrey Organics, and goodness knows what else. My wallet can't take anymore purchases and I still have to find a good leave in and moisturizer!

I read somewhere that it takes approximately 30 days to see the effects of a product. I've got to stop buying the lastest and greatest that I hear about and test what I have first.

I'm reading up and jotting down the notes that I think relate to me on here and go from there. Hopefully I'll create some sort of regimen. I have a trip coming up in August. I've got to grow some hair and lose some weight! Wish me luck!!!
