I've been working on this ever since I've joined! Please tell me is there ANYTHING that should be changed? Any products that I'm using wrong, am I using it too much or too little of it? Anything that I can add or subtract? Any little thing that's wrong, would you please point it out?
I'm pleased to say that since visiting this board, I cut a lot of my hair off, but I have never enjoyed hair as healthy as it is now in my whole life. I'm retaining almost 100% of all new growth (making noticable growth in just a month) and having very small amounts of breakage shedding and splits... and I'm happy!

WASHING
1) I Wash my hair every 3 days. I alternate conditioner washes with V05 Moisture Milks conditioner mixed with distilled water (half water, half conditioner) and gentle shampoos (Neutrogena Triple Moisture Shampoo). I do a conditioner wash by first putting conditioner through my dry hair, then rinsing it out very well.
CONDITIONING
3) After every shampoo/conditioner wash, I deep condition with one of the moisturizing conditioners with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of honey mixed in for an hour under a plastic cap with no heat added. Once a week I use a gold conditioning cap in addition to the plastic cap for the same amount of time.
PROTEIN TREATMENTS
3a) Around the middle of the month, I use Aphogee’s shampoo for damaged hair to gently clarify my hair, then deep condition with Elasta QP Breakage Control Serum for 20 minutes using a heating cap or soft bonnet on low heat.
Around the end of the month, I use Suave clarifying shampoo to deep clean my hair. I deep condition with a mixture of Porosity Control Conditioner and Aphogee 2-minute Reconstructor for 20 minutes using a heating cap on low heat.
On both days after the protein treatment, I use a moisturizing deep conditioner mixed with honey, olive oil and a half of a teaspoon of vitamin E oil for 30 minutes under a low heating cap.
AFTER DEEP CONDITIONING:
4) I rinse the deep conditioner out of my hair. If it was a conditioner wash, I do a weak apple cider vinegar rinse (1 quart of distilled water to 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar). I do an acv rinse by first getting 2 bowls. I put the rinse in one bowl, then put the other under me to catch the runoff. I pour the mixture in my hair and let it run into one of the bowls, then I take that bowl, put the empty bowl underneath and do it again. I do that 3 times.
5) I section my hair into 4 sections and apply leave in conditioner (Surge Moisture Aide), oil (a mix of the 2 oils that I use), Hollywood Beauty Carrot Creme on the ends, and on humid or rainy days I use Garnier Fructis Curl Construct Mousse.
STYLING
6) AIR DRY: I put IC Gel on the hairline to smooth it after I‘ve applied all my products.
To maintain that style I dampen my hair with diluted leave-in conditioner (Herbal Essences) and apply moisturizer, oil and curl activator gel at night and sleep in two strand twists. In the morning I unravel my twists, wet my hair with diluted leave in and add a small amount of curl activator gel and oil.
7) WET SET: I use Elasta QP Design Foam in addition to my other products. I don’t use any mousse or curl activator gel. I air dry overnight.
To maintain that style I dampen and moisturize my hair by re-rolling my hair nightly with diluted leave in conditioner, moisturizer and oil.
8) FLAT IRON/PRESSING: I use Surge Moisture Aide , oil, moisturizer and heat protectant (Elasta QP Silk). I don’t use any curl activator gel or mousse.
9) I do a wet set on magnetic rollers and air dry overnight.
10) I press/flat iron my hair section by section to make it silky straight, then I roll my hair up in magnetic rollers for volume and a little curl.
11) To maintain that style I roll up my hair every night and apply a drop of oil to each section.
RELAXING:
12) I put conditioner and neutralizing shampoo (One of my cholesterols mixed with Isoplus Neutralizing Shampoo) on the previously relaxed hair and begin...
I section my hair from ear to ear. I begin with the front section. I apply the relaxer (PCJ Lye) to the new growth only, smooth it (the total time of application and smoothing is 25 minutes). I rinse the front part of my head only, then I apply the conditioner that comes with the relaxer for 10 minutes. I then apply neutralizing shampoo and rinse it out. I lather up once more and leave it in while I relax the rest of my hair.
I relax the back the same way that I do the front, then I rinse well and apply the conditioner to all of my hair for 10 minutes. Then I neutralize my whole head completely (I lather up with neutralizing shampoo and keep it in for 5 minutes-three times). I finish by deep conditioning with one of my moisturizing conditioners mixed with honey, evoo and vitamin E oil. Most times I then do a wet set and air dry. I may let my hair air dry naturally.
13) I relax my hair every 3 months.
*note-My hair isn’t fully relaxed, I would say that it’s very texturized. I also only use heat just a few times a year for special occasions.
I'm pleased to say that since visiting this board, I cut a lot of my hair off, but I have never enjoyed hair as healthy as it is now in my whole life. I'm retaining almost 100% of all new growth (making noticable growth in just a month) and having very small amounts of breakage shedding and splits... and I'm happy!

Your regimen looks solid...just stick with what works-sometimes hair responds better to consistency.
. My only question is does that IC gel have alcohol in it??
