Love your username. Every time I see it it just seems so sweet.
Have you tried Taliaah Waajid's Mist Bodifier? It works on my hard to moisturize hair. That and water/glycerin mix are the only things I have found so far.

Any regimen news ladies?
---Trying anything new?
---Making any adustments?
---Any discoveries?
I was going to try my first cowash this weekend but I bought a new shampoo at the Bmore Hair show and I can't wait to try it. Not exactly sure all of what I am going to do but
---Shampoo with new product
---Condition with TW Conditioner
---Skipping deep conditioning
---Applying TW Detangler (got a free sample at the show)
---Follow up with Coconut oil
---Try a new flat twist style
---Hopefully be done within 2 hours (has never happened).
I will follow up tomorrow with results.

Hair: Relaxed {Thinking about transitioning}
Current Length: MBL
Current Regimen: I am working on it. I haven't really had a set regimen for a minute, and it has reflected. I was just washing my hair every two weeks, blow drying it, flat ironing it, curling it, and wrapping it up. I had a lot of damage to my ends, and while it was growing (I was getting close to waist length) my ends were thin because of the heat, and neglect, so last night, I cut them, and my hair instantly looked healthier.
Starting this week:
Black tea rinse 2x a week
Co-Wash as needed
DC 1x a week
Moisturize daily with Elasta qp olive oil and mango butter
Seal with coconut oil
I am trying to stay as far away from heat as possible. I have become addicted to my FHI, and I need a break. So, I will be working on finding good ways for braid outs, twist outs, buns, and air drying my hair.
Current Staples/Techniques: The only product I use every day is Design Essentials Silk Essentials, but I know my hair needs more, so I'm working on it.
What in your regimen are trying to nail: Staying away from the blow dryer and the FHI
Hair History:I got my first relaxer when I was in the 6th grade. After that, it was not taken care of properly, and broke off severely and I didn't really do anything to fix it until the summer before my junior year of high school. I got it cut to shoulder length, and started going to the salon every two weeks. Since 2008 I've been a member here, and I've learned a lot. I have been neglecting my hair lately, so its time to start applying what I've learned.

Welcome JaszG,
I have been on the forum for less than a year so still fairly new to the hair game. What you have shared in this post is very eye opening for me that even over time and with length I will need to stick with it.
I know you are MBL after a setback, but many of us never having got that far, it is an amazing length. I think what you share with us as you tighten up your own regimen will be encouraging to many of us.
ok - I' blah, blah, blahing over here.
Welcome again and look forward to seeing you firm up your regimen and hit healthy WL real soon.

^^^I didn't put anything on afterwards. I sprayed a little Infusium on my hair prior to it to keep my hair wet and then the foam. I tried to do flat twists but my hair wasn't laying down right so I just took the Denman and detangled and the brush just slid through my hair like butter. I love it!

NikkiQ - I went to Walgreens yesterday and fortunately I didn't see this. 
I started the Use up your stash challenge yesterday so, hopefully that will keep me from overbuying this.
========================================================
Still working on my regi. I didn't cowash yesterday like I said because I got a new shampoo that I wanted to try out. I think it is called Naturaz Moisturizing Shampoo.
Shampooed with Natural Moisturing Shampoo
---It didn't strip my hair and I felt some moisture. But I would have liked for
---it to be more moisturizing. It needs some doctoring. Going to add some
---Aloe Vera and oil to it next time. I won't repurchase after I use it up.
Conditioned with Taaliah Waajid Conditioner
--Love this. This is the 2nd time I have used it and both times I have had
--great results. I have 5 conditioners to use up so I will be comparing. My
--hair was not so great after the shampoo but delicious after the conditioner.
--Kept conditioner on for 30 minutes while cleaning.
Applied Roux Porosity Control before rinsing conditioner.
--Mostly to use it up. Was hoping to get my ends back in shap. I won't be
--repurchasing this. I don't notice enough of a difference.
Rinsed and sprayed hair with water/aloe vera mix.
--Aloe Vera helps my ends. Not sure if I can mix it with water.
--I actually think that my water is causing some of my initial hair issues.
--Will keep working with this.
Applied Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie on damp hair
--My hair doesn't seem to do well with product on wet hair. It takes a while
--to soak in. So I let it sit for 15 to 30 minutes before styling. Styled my hair
--in a flat twist up do. I can't do a WNG but I think it moisturized my hair
--enough. Will take out a twist tonight and check.
Applied Joie Naturals Gel to my edges.
--This stuff is wonderful. My flyaway edges are actually laying down.
Happy with results.
1. Learned my hair doesn't like my water.
2. Taliaah Waajid conditioner is a keeper
3. No to the shampoo, Roux Porosity Control, water/aloe vera mix
4. No to product on wet hair.
5. Maybe a yes to Shea Moisture Smoothie (retry).
6. Yes to Joie Natural Gel

I did a bread out on Saturday, and I have been applying Elasta QP Olive Oil & Mango butter to it at night, and sealing with coconut oil. I then put my hair in four thick braids, and roll my ends with rollers. It has been working really good!! I think I will do a bun tomorrow, and do a black tea rinse, and cowash tomorrow after I get home from class. I may try a twist out after that. I think I want to do Tuesdays as cowash days, and Saturdays as DC days because I have more free time on those days.

Wonderful, sounds like you are having success at staying away from heat and still having nice styles.

In hair purgatory
i decided to try crece pelo leave in and i love it! it works better than lacio lacio in my hair. i will use up my lacio lacio but then im using crece pelo. the bonus is that it comes in a bigger bottle for the same price.
also i decided to use praital silk worm cream as my dc and i love it. my hair literally felt as strong as silk and it was good for detangling. i think it will be my staple DC.
i am going to try out 2 more products only before i am complete.
i plan on trying lafier honey and almonds as a rinse out after my dc. i feel like my hair needs more moisture after dc with the praital. if the lafier doesnt work out i will try baba de caracol intensive treatment. other than that thats it. my PJ senses have deadened. i rather buy more rollers

I've heard of lacio lacio but none of the others. You have some specialty hair
I've never seen crece pelo or lacio lacio. Where do you buy those?My wish list is coming down as well. I am ready to buy some hair accessories. I am still NL but by the end of the summer I am believing I will have much more length to wear some updos.
I can't wait.I haven't bought rollers yet - hmm.

i decided to try Dominican products again because i can get them in large sizes like 1/2 gallon and gallon sizes. that way i dont have to buy as much as often and in the long run i save money.
Natural - Relaxed – Texturized/Texlaxed - Transitioning: Natural
Current Length: between waist & hip
Current Regimen:
I D/C and shampoo once a week. (started about 4 weeks ago) & moisturize after each wash. For the past to weeks I have been trying to make sure I also moisturize daily. I also have a homemade moisturizing spray that I try to use daily, but sometimes I forget.
Current Staples/Techniques:
still working on this. right now i'm trying elucence MB & some poo bars from chagrin valley. i also got some Aubrey organics HSR for my D/Cs. I also got a tangle teezer.
What in your regimen are trying to nail:pretty much everything is up for grabs right now. i know i can't go longer than a week without washing, but other than that...
History (optional) – any history of how you got to this point
I had my last relaxer in 2004, BC in 2005. Locks in 2008 (hair was BSL or longerwhen i started them). Last month I decided to comb them out
So far I've done the back. I'm working on the middle right now. Then on to the front. I should be done by summer 
In the mean time I'm trying to nail down a regimen so that I know what to do with my hair once it's all loose again. When it was loose before it took forever to detangle, which is why I locked.
I feel funny about saying my hair is hip length, cuz I don't know how much of that length I will keep once my hair is all out and I assess my ends. So far it looks pretty healthy though.

Wow - an interesting history. I hope that you are able to keep your length. Would love to see a before and after. I guess one of the pluses is that by taking them out a little at a time, you can learn on the hair that is loose and perhaps have a more solid regimen by the time you are done combing them out.

so far so good...I will only be adding a once a month clarifying shampoo and shescentit marshmallow cream as a alternate moisturizer. I left out the fact that I do baggie almost every night alternating between whole head and bun only, guess that’s a technique. This thread is really keeping me on track. It shed light on my inconsistency and lack of planning. Today my hair length is 5 1/2in and my year end goal is 10in. Lets see what happens!

Yeah my goal is to have a regimen down by the time I'm finished.
So far my ends don't look too bad. Even if they are damaged, I will probably cut to WL or MBL and then do gradual trims from there. I'd hate to have to b/c after all the time it took to comb these suckers out
When my hair was loose before I never used oils because they just sat on my hair and made it greasy. This time around I'm experimenting with incorporating them into my D/Cs and doing oil rinses. Hopefully I'll get the benefits of oil without the icky feeling since they get washed out.
I also know that I can't sleep on my loose hair, or leave in a WNG puff for days at a time. That's how I got so many tangles. Before, my hair was so thick that even though it was long, I would have to do 10 - 15 braids at night. I'm hoping I can do less since it's longer now. If not I will definitely need to find a shorter nighttime routine. Any suggestions?
I'm looking into finding more natural/homemade products. I was using Suave shampoo and conditioners because they are cheap, but the shampoo is too drying and I just don't like the conditioners any more.
Co-washes are not for me. I used to do them but I got some scalp buildup so I don't think I will try those again.
I'm pretty much starting from scratch here

I got some new products today! lol. I really need to go on a no buy! I got a bottle of castor oil from walmart, Tressemme Naturals conditioner (the green color), and Infusium 23 leave in. I didn't realize that the infusium came in different types, and I got the one for repairing damaged hair. I went online and found out they had one for moisture, so I'll be getting that one for my DC Saturday.
Initial Impressions of products:
Castor Oil-This stuff is THICK! I read that it was thick, but it was thicker than I would have imagined. lol. I oiled my scalp with it using my fingers, so my application was probably heavy. I will get an applicator bottle to see if that helps. It did make my hair heavy, to the point to were it was hard to do my braid out the way I did it last time, and I decided to just do two braids. But I think that I was too heavy handed with it, so we will see Saturday.
Conditioner-I loved how my hair felt with this conditioner. Its not a very thick conditioner at all, and will definitely work during the summer because I like to leave it in sometimes when I'm out and about. It is a huge bottle, so I like that as well. Its definitely a good co washing conditioner. I like it more than the Herbal Essence Long Term Relationship conditioner. I like variety, so the next one I want to try is the aussie moist. All for cowashing. lol.
Infusium 23-We used this when I was little. I forgot about it. lol. It works great though. Its light and moisturizing. The only other leave ins I have used are the design essentials leave in, the ULI leave in, and LTR. It worked like the ULI, which I used to LOVE back in my high school days, but the ULI was way thicker, but my hair felt the same from what I remember. I like it so far. I used it to detangle, and then after my cowash. I also tryed mixing some of it with water in a pray bottle while I was attempting my braid out, but that did not work out at all. I like this on its own, no water!
I am so thankful for this thread! I know that was a lot. lol.

It's not even my hair and I don't want to talk about it.
I have the same issue. I tried the oil rinse once but not oil in my DC. Will be watching to see how it works out for you. I bought all this oil last year and have no idea how I'm going to use it since my hair is like ABSOLUTELY NOT - Get that out of here.
None at this time. I can't even imagine what your hair looks like. Locs in the front, out in the back, so thick you have to put it in 10 braids
I think you are learning a lot quickly. So you may be starting from scratch but I think you will nail it quickly. Learning what doesn't work, is moving us closer to what does.

I've never tried Infusium but heard good things. Please let me know how that works out. Can't buy anything for March and I can only buy 1 item in April since I'm in a challenge.
[Quote/I am so thankful for this thread! I know that was a lot. lol.[/QUOTE]
I am glad it was a lot. The extra detail helps when I am learning about products. Sharing how you used them and the results you had really help me. So keep it coming.
