I have tweaked my reggie cause I am impatient and want instant results but I think I got something my hair likes with this one 
Daily (evenings): cowash with Suave Humectant apply generic Redken Anti-Snap, Giovanni direct and Salerm (I mix these two, my hair likes it) slightly air dry apply MN mix to my scalp and cantu to the end braid and tuck. Take 1 MSM tablet, iron and 3 multi vits
Daily (mornings): Apply NTM to my hair and cantu to my ends and braid.
Take 3 flaxseed oils vits and B12 and glass of carrot juice.
I will deep condition on Sun, Wed, and Friday first 15 minutes with Suave (using the towel method) and 30 minutes with Aphogee 2 min reconstuctor under the dryer.
I will clarify once a month.
In three months I plan to go back to the 'other' reggie but for now I am going to try this.
I am using self made stocking cap wigs as my protective styles.
Sleep with a satin or silk scarf and satin pillowcase, I only comb my hair when I condition.

Adding protein to your hair three times a week may be too much. Also, you should do the protein treatment first then the Sauve because after the protein you will need to add moisture. Protein is drying, so be careful with how you use it.

Hehehe. I actually had posted it in another thread so i just went and copied it.
But my regimen, i don't really consider it a regimen because I basically use whatever I have, which is something I want to change. But the things that they pretty the same are listed.
Dove Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner. I use the same conditioner when I do a DC. I wash and condition once a week.
I use Oganics(Africa's Best) Hair Mayonnaise and then i let it air dry. Once it air drys I use Organics CArrot Oil and rub it through. Then I flat iron.
I usually roll it or wrap it. I've been hearing wrapping isn't good to do. I don't know how truthful that is. But thats why i'm here, to learn.

Ok, I'm late, but here is my starting picture taken 1/19/2008.
I don't really have a regime but this is what I do:
Wash 1x a week with pantene
I recently have been pre pooing with castor oil
I haven't really deep conditioned in awhile
I didn't know that I wasn't suppose to clarify my hair eveytime I wash, I guess that is why my hair was breaking.
If anyone has a good regime that they can offer me I would really appreciate it.
I have type 4a hair and I have been natural for 11 months now
thanks

Hi all,
I'm in also! New to the forum and I am slightly confused about where to begin
.
edited to add:
I have been going to the salon so I have not begun a personal routine as of yet. But I don't really like my hair bone straight (because it is so thin) which is why I will attempt to do my own hair.
Starting this week, I will be using Keracare's Dry and Itchy Scalp Shampoo and Conditioner. I will then rollerset using the pink snap on magnetic rollers (can't get the hang of using the hairpins) with water only and then sitting under the dryer. And finally, I will wrap my hair using Keracare Conditioning Creme Hairdress and Silken Seal. I will post a pic after this routine on Friday, Feb 8th.

Hey All,
I have been lurking on this site since 2004! Finally though, I said "enough is enough" and I came up off the $5.00 and here I am with my first post. I would love to join this challenge, if it isn't too late, that is.
I am unsure of my hair type, as i don't think any of those descriptions fit my hair. I think i am a 4a/b though (if thats possible). My hair is currently shoulder length. I cut it back in august and i've had about 3.5 inches of growth so far. Let me know if I am too late to join this challenge. If not, I will definitely post pics! Thanks alot!!
