Still Keeping it Simple!
Every 2 wks I:
~DC on dry hair for 30 min
~Wash with WEN CC (Sometimes I keep that on for 20 min w/heat)
~Rollerset
~Bun
I may up my wash and DC to either every wk or 2x a wk after seeing Asummertyme's progress!

I'm in.
I think keeping it simple is best for me. In fact, I started my own personal keeping it simple challenge/do what's best for me and my hair challenge yesterday (yesterday was so not a good hair day for me).
The Rules I've Devised Are:
1. Less Is More
2. Listen To Your Hair
3. Acknowledge That You Have Fine Hair--And It Is As Fine As You Think It Is
4. Stop Trimming
5. Care For Your Edges
I realize that my hair responded better when I pre-pooed, pooed, conditioned w/ a rinse-out conditioner on a weekly basis and deep-conditioned on a monthly basis.
My Products & Regimen
Pre-Shampoo: Burt's Bees Avocado Butter Pre-Shampoo Hair Treatment in warmer Weather & Castor Oil in colder weather
Shampoo: V05 Kiwi Lime for clarifying, Fantasia IC Tea Tree Naturals when I'm in braids, and Earthly Delight Herbal Shampoo as my regular shampoo
Conditioner: Still pending. I've been using Herbal Essences Rainforest Flowers For Fine and Limp Hair, but I bought the KBB deep conditioner & I want to see how that works.
Deep Conditioner: Right now, it's mayonnaise. I bought the KBB Luscious Locks hair mask & I have to see how that works. I already used it after Aphogee, but I want to see how it works on its own.
Moisturizer: Jane Carter Hair Nourishing Cream
Leave-In: CD Black Vanilla Leave-In
Oils: Castor oil for my ends, and coconut oil mixed with castor oil, honey and water for my summer spray mixture
Drying Method: I mostly airdry. Occasionally, I use my soft bonnet ionic dryer on the cool setting.
Regular Hairstyle: Twist-out
Protective Style: Wig
Other: KBB Hair Growth Serum for my edges

Just an update on the "pending conditioner" situation:
On Sunday, I washed w/ V05 Kiwi Lime Clarifying Shampoo. Then I conditioned w/ KBB Deep Conditioner in the honey oatmeal scent, which smells wonderful. Then I applied CD Black Vanilla Leave In & JC Hair Nourishing Cream. Then I twisted my hair and curled it w/ perm rods.
I took my hair down on Sunday & it was soft, but strong, and shiny. I think some of the shine may have come from my final rinse with cold water. I suspect that I have hard water, so I've been boiling water & putting it in empty seltzer water bottles. I have enough bottles filled up to do an entire wash, so I'm going to see if that makes a difference the next time that I wash.
I don't want to get ultra-excited, but I *think* I've found my conditioner.

Decided to simplify my regimen.
Shampoo once a week; DC twice a week; co-wash three times a week; wet hair in shower daily just a touch; squeeze with T shirt and use a little leave in mix and wig it up (fall/winter).
I will co-wash in spring and summer daily.
- Shampoo: Diluted Dr. Bronner soap (peppermint/tea tree)+ACV+baking soda mixed into pump bottle and sprayed on scalp only
- Deep conditioner: AO HSR + two egg yolks (my hair is thicker than it was, just not as long); leave in until it dries
- Rinse for deep conditioner: Beer
- Conditioner wash: VO5 Moisture Milk or TJ Nourish
- Leave in moisturizer: QB AOHC + QB OHHB when braided up under wig
- Leave in with no braids: QB OHHB + QB HBTG
- Seal: well, the QB OHHB
