okay now it finally worked and i can answer.
my dad is maroccan and my mom is german. i also live in germany.
my hair regimen is pretty simple, to some it may not even be a regimen
i wash my hair two to three times a week and condition it (pantene, herbal essences, infusium, creme of nature, suave). two to three times a month i do a deep conditioning treatment with cholesterol or motions protein conditioner (after i used a clarifying shampoo).
i used to do a weekly hot oil treatment with olive oil but i got tooooooo lazy for that /images/graemlins/grin.gif
i also do the conditioner washes but the drying time is really getting on my nerves.
i would blowdry my hair with a round brush like three times a month. i really try to save those times for special occasions.
the other times i would let my hair air dry in two regular braids.
from time to time i would get cornrows, either just simple ones going to the back, or alicia keys style.
i like simple hair styles but i really want completely healthy, thick and waist length hair. this is my goal.
i also tried to take vitamins. i took flaxseed oil and biotin but my skin broke out after 14 days /images/graemlins/shocked.gif so i stopped. i try to drink lots of water.
hmmmmm what else, important products to me are my pantene leave in conditioner and hollywood beauty carrot oil.
i barely brush my hair. i always use my wide tooth comb and to smooth my hair a finetooth comb. and that's it.
i want to start roller setting my hair but it's kinda hard for me. i do spiral sets from time to time.
as relaxers i used to use african pride since i was 16. i always did it myself. since i joined the hair boards and heard so much good stuff about the motions oil relaxer i will try it (actually next thursday) for the first time. but since it is a change from no lye to lye i have an appointment with a stylist. and i hope she knows what she is doing.
i relax my hair about three times a year. i also trim my hair about three times a year. i love to experiment with different colors. but i don't think i will ever get highlights again. it took me three times to learn /images/graemlins/frown.gif....
well i know this was pretty long but i wanted you to know some stuff about my hair care routine and also about my goal.
i also think that with so many ladies and help on a board like this everybody should achieve their goals no matter what they are. i really hope i will achieve mine within the next 12 months. now this is really enough for now.
take care everybody, nay /images/graemlins/tongue.gif
