I guess I didn't post my regimen either. Maybe because there is no consistency with it whatsoever. But, anywho, here goes. I'll start with what I've done in the past two weeks since I started caruzing these forums.
Wash and condition with Pantene R and N. Realized that it had mineral oil and petrolatum in the shampoo and gave it to my husband who has no hair - bald fade.
Then, I bought a clarifying shampoo and used it after a hot six oil pre-poo and then I used Motions CPR because I was thinking of putting a relaxer in my head but I changed my mind and now my hair is hard to the touch. That was last Wednesday - the 2nd.
I washed over the weekend with the Pantene R and N because I couldn't find any of the moisturizing shampoos on Sistaslicks associated content list. I did buy some dove conditioner but I realized after that it wasn't the kind in the list. So I used the Pantene R and N anyway. I followed up with my MN mix - MN, vatika and ors carrot. Carroted my strands and sealed with Hollywood tea tree oil.
Last night, I did the MN mix, carroted my ends and sealed with the hot six. I combed my hair today and hair was everywhere and my scalp is so dry. I have to brush my edges with my soft brush because my ends ball up like a crowd of people putting up black power fists.
I'm going to conwash tonight after I hit this great BSS in the Hispanic part of town that has Kenra products - I'll get the shampoo and conditioner and leave in.
My product altar is getting too big for it's designated spot so I'll have to hide a few things or donate to my girls. I want to put my relaxer in - 9 weeks - but I'm worried about the breakage. It could be the line of demarcation causing the problems because my breakage is long and it's not shedding (with the bulbs). I don't want to use the relaxer as a fixit so we'll see. I'm trying to stretch til the weekend before Valentine's day. I'm still confused about that and I don't have a lot of time during the week so we'll see. My new growth is peeking through the relaxed part when I bun up because it's so thin.
That's it. I'm still working on a good regime. The only thing that I've been doing consistently is moisturizing my hair at night, sealing with oil and keeping the bonnet on all night. I've also kept heat off and am wearing a boring a$$ bun with my own hair because the combs and stuff on weaves and half wigs were pulling my hair out. It does seem to be getting longer but it's still so thin.
Pictures are forthcoming. Three more days til ETA of my laptop from the Geek Squad.
