Ladies with SIMPLE hair routines, please post them here...

[beana]

i'll go first:

Relax w/ Design Essentials every 8-12 weeks

Deep protein tx every 4-6 weeks

Wash hair every 5-7 days

Typical wash day looks like:
Lather 2x's w/ diluted shamppo
"deep" condition w/ recontructor OR moisturizing condit for 10-15 w/ plastic cap and steam from shower
apply leave in
rollerset

No buns or ponytails, just pin curl hair every night and wear out in the morning.

 

[AmilLion]

I relax with the seasons, 4x a year.

1) Pre-poo w/Aveda 20 minutes w/heat
2) Wash w/diluted Elucence Shampoo 2x max
3) Condition w/Humecto 20 minutes w/heat
4) Roller Set with dime size amt of Lacio Lacio; sealing with jojoba
5) Wrap hair

Every 2 months, treat hair with Aphogee or Emergencee

 

[sareca]

Henna, alma, coffee 1X/wk
Reconstructor on dry hair w/ heat 1X/wk
DC dry hair w/ moisturizing condish 1X/wk

Comb/detangle once every 2 weeks

Spray w/ Eqyss or IC each night and loosely braid

Texturize once/year (although, I thinking of switching to 4X/year)

 

[Keen]

Henna, alma, coffee 1X/wk
Reconstructor on dry hair w/ heat 1X/wk
DC dry hair w/ moisturizing condish 1X/wk

Comb/detangle once every 2 weeks

Spray w/ Eqyss or IC each night and loosely braid

Texturize once/year (although, I thinking of switching to 4X/year)

I wouldn't consider that simple but I guess simple means different things to different people

 

[Zawaj]

• Relax 4x per year
• Pre-poo w/oil conditioner mix
• Shampoo w/Aveda DR or Keracare(new addition) 1x per week
• Deep Condition w/Aveda DR or Humecto(new addition) 1x per week
• CoWash as need during the week
• Protective Style: Bun or a couple of braids
• Apply Oil/Leave in As Needed during week

Think of adding a hardcore protein conditioner once a month.

 

[prospurr4]

I relax every 8-10 weeks. I wash every week but use shampoo every 2 weeks. I do the following:

1) DC dry hair with Motions Moisture Plus
2) Wash w/diluted Motions Lavish
3) Apply nickel-sized amount of Giovanni Direct leave-in or 6 to 7 sprays of Motions leave-in and seal with coconut oil
4) Rollerset with water and airdry overnight

On alternate weeks, I co-wash, and I use Motions CPR for protein, as needed.

At bedtime, I either pincurl or bun, and cover with a satin scarf and/or bonnet.

 

[ubavka123]

-Relax with Affirm lye every 9-10 weeks
-Shampoo/Condish every 5-7 days (products used determined by hair's needs at the time)
-Rollerset every 5-7 days
-Moisturize ends and pincurl to maintain until next wash

I wear whatever style I want, be it up or down. However, I keep my ends protected most days.

I will airdry in a pony if feeling too lazy to rollerset. Also, product list is simple too:

Keune Moisture Poo, or Kenra Clarifying
Affirm 5-n-1 or Sebastian Penetraitt
Aveda Cherry Almond Bark
Giovanni direct
Amla oil (for combing out hair before shampooing)

Once in a blue moon I will flatiron with my Sedu to check length or wear a straight style.

 

[Dee_33]

Here's my new reg. that starts this weekend;

Relax 4x a year with ORS no-lye
Pre-poo 1x week with coconut oil and deep cond. mixture
Wash 1x a week with CON green
Airdry in a loose pony
Wear a french-braid for the week

Product list: ORS no-lye, Vatika frosting, 24/7 cond., CON green, shea-aloe

 

[gimbap]

I think my regimen is simple.

I relaxed every 6 weeks. I do emergencee when needed.

Every 3-4 days I:
1)Pre poo with an oil or a protein conditioner
2)Shampoo
3) DC for 15-30 mins
4)Wrap my hair, sit under the dryer

Lately I've been wearing my hair down w/ a head band. If I use my flat iron, I flat iron freshly washed hair ONLY and use generic biosilk or Fantasia heat protectant. Sometimes I'll do a flexi rod set.

 

[Missi]

[Neroli]

• Relax 4x a year
• Wash/airdry every 7 to 10 days (henna, poo, co-wash, DC, protein, varies week to week)
• Water and oil for daily grooming, no brushing, no combing, no other product
• Protective styles about 80% of time which I tie down with satin scarf at night. I like one large cornrow or buns that I leave strictly alone from wash to wash, just water and oil to groom daily. If I want to wear out, I undo and use fingers to smooth oil and water in loose hair and go -- I can easiy re-braid or re-bun if needed.

follow up with moistruizing shampoo 1x week

[Cichelle]

Several times a week I cowash, use a natural butter and put my hair up. I use henna once a month or so. That's about it.

 

[Finesse]

Relax every 8-10 weeks...no stretching for me, I lose hair if I go any longer.

Once a week.... clarifying shampoo, usually sauve followed by ORS shampoo

Duo tex 10mins, followed by moisturising conditioner. If not this, then ORS replenishing pak.

911 leave in

Rollerset with ultra sheen setting lotion and Motions foam. I may do a braid out somewhere in there.


ETA: At night I either wrap my hair or pincurl..all depends on how I want to wear it the next day

 

[Poobity]

I'm in super lazy mode with my hair. Every two weeks I:

Detangle hair in shower w/ cheapie conditioner

Wash hair

Condition hair

Apply World of Curls Gel throughout damp hair

Pull back with headband or ponytail holder

 

[HoneyDew]

Mine is simple, I think.

I relax as needed.

I shampoo and deep condition on Wednesday and Saturday.

Wednesday - no heat moisturizing deep
Saturday - heat protein deep with any of my mild recontructors followed by a no heat moisturizing deep

I apply my moisturizer as a leave in topped off with a heat protectant, airdry and flatiron. I will use a blowdryer when my hair still has some slightly damp sections in there.

Daily I apply oil (loving Nasabb's Kelechi Oil) and tie my hair down. Most times I use a couple of Satin covered foam rollers to bump it under.

Lightly comb it in the a.m. to go.

As I get more NG, I have to use more moisturizer in the mornings - but not too much.

[sareca]

I wouldn't consider that simple but I guess simple means different things to different people

Yes it does, but ...um...henna is really the only step the OP didn't mention doing. Simple might be a stretch for everybody that posted but I wouldn't call any of them complicated.

 

[brownsugarflyygirl]
