Hello Ladies!

What a wonderful site! I am new to DO IT YOURSELF Hair Care... I was hoping some of the vets could take a look at my regimen and let me know what you think: its super long so Here is my Fotki and its all included there! I REALLY APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK

Also or more specifically,

Currently I am having some trouble airdrying: my hair is so dry afterwards? I dont know what to put in it...

Also I am using Hair one( the generic for WEN) as my sulphate free shampoo... but according to the lady at Sally's its a shampoo,conditioner and leave in all in one... so I guess my question is can I use this as my shampoo even though I still want to DC with something else and then use a leave in on top of that and seal withoil... I figure as long as I use some sort of clarifying shampoo eventually I will be alright?

One more thing. I am using this Barner bros Mayonaiise and honey hair streghtner as a Pre-poo but it has mineral oil in it, is that bad? Thinking of switching over to Burts and Bees Avocado and butter? anyone tried that?

sorry for so many questions... I just want to gain some wisdom!

Yes you can use Hair One as your shampoo and deep conditioner with another product. Hair needs a deep conditioner along with a none stripping shampoo. Using a leave in is alway great, it will no harm your hair and oil seals in the moisture.

Using mineral oil is not all bad, actually a lot of ladies have success with products that have mineral oil in them, including myself. A good rule of thumb is to look a the ingredients and the
1st five ingredients is what the product mostly consist of, so as long a mineral oil is not in the first 3-4 ingredients you should be OK. Using a chelating shampoo once a month is great for removing mineral build up and build up in gerneral from the hair.

thanx, i bought a product that contains mineral oil unknowingly, maybe i will try it since i noticed mineral oil is not one of the main ingredients.

Welcome to the board. Your regimen seems fine to me. Just one question though, when you DC with protein do you follow up with a moisture DC?

I use NTM Silk Touch as a moisturiser; it is lovely and perfect for my hair. I've also just started using the Burts Bees prepoo, and I'm liking the results so far.
