I found what works for me!!! So, what works for YOU?

[bludacious]

It was a long road to finding what worked for my hair, but I finally found it. I don't know if it's thread already out about this. I am just curious to know what others have found that worked for them.

This is what works for me:

-Washing every 3 days [I was washing once a week but by mid week, my hair was limp with no life]
-Shampoo- Nexxus Therappe Shampoo
-Clarifying Shampoo- Nexxus Aloe Rid [I clarify once a month]
-Conditioner- Nexxus Humectress [I deep condition ever shampoo. I let it sit under a plastic cap for at least 30 minutes]
-Protein Conditioner-Nexxus Keraphix
-Leave-in Conditioner- Nexxus Headress
-Hot Oil-jojoba oil ***new to my regimen but my hair likes it*** [I will do this once a week]

Something that I got from a LHCF member that my hair loves is Sylver's scarf Method! Thank's Sylver! My hair loves your method.

-Hot Oil- Concoction of EVOO, WGHO, Hot 6 Oil, and Motions Salon Herbals Oil Sheen Spray [I will do this once a week before washing my hair without heat]

Keeping it simple works for me. I’ve found that if I just leave my hair alone, that works best for me. I don’t have any product staples or routines/regimens for my hair…I just do what I feel needs to be done. For example, I wash and deep condition my hair once a week with whatever shampoo I have (normally Nexxus, Elasta QP, CON, or Silk & Shine). I don’t pre-poo, do protein treatments, load my hair with products, or anything of the sort…and neither am I saying that any of those things are bad, they just don’t work for me.

For me: “less is more”!! Since I’ve had this strawset in, I haven’t been able to wash my hair. Due to the fact that I just left it alone and massaged some MTG in my hair it grew about ¼” in 2 ½ weeks. I’m a basic shampoo, deep conditioner, gel, and moisturizer type of gal!

 

[Champagne_Wishes]

I learned that my hair loves creamy leave-ins and I better not use a dime or nickle size amount. I need a silver dollar amount or more for my thirsty hair.

 

[WesternEyes]

My hair likes conditioner washes, daily. It doesn't like too many products. Just a leave-in conditioner and a little gel/mousse. If i use too many products it will break off.

 

[SilkyandSmooth]

-Conditioner washes twice per week (3 times per week during the Summer). Shampooing once a month.
-NTM, Kenra and Dove shampoo.
-Suave, V05, Dove, Kenra, and St. Ives conditioners. Occassionally I'll use a Dominican conditioner to deep condition.
-Salerm 21 as a leave in
-Coconut oil
-Fantasia Frizz Buster Gel
-Ponytails, but I'm about to switch to buns b/c my relaxed hair looks dry and dull compared to my natural hair.

[candibaby]

this is what works for my transitioning hair..

cowashes with DDTA and Humectress, deep co's once every 4-6 weeks with Paul Mitchell SCM, daily misting with Dark N Lovely Citrus Braid Spray, braids, and rodsets. Oh.. and my K-Cutter comb.. doing this with that comb results in VERY little breakage from the two textures.
