She has no real set regimen. She wears wigs 97% of the time. The only times she doesn't have a wig on is when she goes to sleep, showers, and washes and conditions her hair. She and I are the same hair texture. She transitioned from perm without BC at the end of '06. She has been all natural since the end of '07 when all the permed hair finally broke off by itself. She never deep conditions, hardly moisturizes, she still uses grease with mineral oil/petrolatum 
, is really rough with combing/detangling and doesn't ever trim. She used to wash her hair loose by rubbing it all over her head! Matte City 
Every month or so she presses her hair with a tiny toothed hot comb , gets it cornrowed, and slaps a wig cap on it. Her current hair length is almost Full APL (doesn't look in pics due to shrinkage). She's never even heard of LHCF and proper hair care until I really started participating in the forum in Dec. I still really admire her hair progress...I think now that I'm discovering Proper hair care on LHCF my mom's hair and my hair will be even more beautiful. I'm helping her add healthy practices such as daily moisturizing, sulfate-free shampoos, natural oils, washing in sections etc. Like me, she suffers from major breakage and loses ALOT Of hair every time we have to wash/comb. However, she still has enough hair for TWO HEADS and it's growing like crazy although I think it would have been MBL by now if she knew of LHCF. Well now WE know! 
I'll keep everyone updated on both of our progresses this year employing new healthy hair care techniques. How the heck do you put big pictures?
