I've been in lurker mode for a long time, but I am about to go crazy trying a build a regimen. I was sporting a cute little afro up until a week and a half ago. I decided I wanted a change, so I relaxed it. When I was natural the only product that I used, other than shampoo and conditioner, was S-curl as my moisturizer. What I do with my two inches of hair now is, co-wash daily with Suave, spray a bit of S-curl and gel down with ecostyler protein gel. After the gel dries, I apply about about a pea size amount of oil to the entire length of my hair. That way my hair is no longer hard.

My questions are, should I use a leave-in (I currently own Aussie Hair Insurance) instead of S-curl or is the S-curl fine? Is it okay to use the protein gel everyday?

I wash and deep condition twice weekly with CON shampoo and condtioner. I clarify as needed with Suave Daily Clarifying shampoo. I have alot of fine hair (as told to me by a beautician). Is there something I should add or delete? All suggestions are welcomed and greatly appreciated. TIA
 
I would delete the protein gel daily. I hear it dries the hair and causes breakage after a while. Maybe use it two or three days of the week. Maybe someone with expert knowledge of this will help. BUMP...

I was concerned about the gel so I went looking for something different yesterday, but just about all the gels I saw had protein in them. I saw a gel by Ampro in a purple jar. I think it was called Purple Rain. I've never heard of it before so I didn't get it. I may give it a try.
 
I used the purple rain years ago, it was "eh" i think :perplexed but i actually found i.c. fantasia gel (i think that's what it's called) from ladies on the site and i purchased it yesterday. Mainly because my hairs in the back tend to leave my ponytail and i was going to use it (just a little) on the hair back there to make some small curls.


I will say this, the s-curl left my hair dry & crunchy when i used it! It definitely did not work for my hair (neither the natural or relaxed parts). So watch it carefully to make sure your hair is not dry
