This is starting to sound like overkill

[Dolapo]

hmm..lets see...
on my normal wash day,
i do a co wash with either free me freeisa or kiwi and lime
i follow up with kenra MC
deep condition if necessary
add leave in
then use either my oil combination or wgho to seal in moisture

so thats 5 products normally

even if i have to clarify, its...
suave clarifying
nexxus humectress
deep conditioner
leave in
and oil

if i have to do protein treatment, i mix with humectress so thats still 5 products.

If i use lots of products, it weighs my hair down cos its fine.

 

[FashionistaNY]

Elucence Shampoo
ORS Hair Mayo
Rinse
Arosci Leave In
Keracare Essential Oils.

I wash once a week and I only use shampoo every other week, clarify once a month

(Shampoo week)
I braid my hair in about 5 individual braids(plaits) and try to shampoo scalp only( got this from someone on the LHCF board and it helps prevent hair from being too dry and tangled after shampooing)

SHAMPOO
>Kenra or Motions lavish(diluted w/water)
>Suave Clarify(diluted w/water once mo.)

These steps were added when I began stretching relaxers other wise I
would only use 5 in 1 when I relaxed or experience shedding and/or breakage

>Affirm 5 in 1 every other week
>EQP Breakage Control (Lately since I'm stretching and experiencing breakage) weeks w/o 5 in 1


Deep condition 30min. or overnight(depends on my schedule)
>w/ a mixture of VO5, Lustrasilk Cholesterol and Queen Helen Cholesterol, >DDTA, KeraKare Humecto,EVOO, Coconut oil, Carrot oil, Shea butter oil, >and other cheapo cons.


LEAVE IN CONS
>Infusium 23 leave in w/evoo and water
>Kerakare leave in cream
>EQP's Silk thermal protectant
>Coconut oil or Wgo to seal ends
I may eliminate EQP's Silk, not really doing anything for me
Roller set and chill w/ my bonnet dryer

I have a friend with the most beautiful hair I have ever seen on a black girl...thick, coarse, kinky, and mid-back length unstretched. All she uses is water and Herbal Essences conditioner (pink bottle). I kid you not. She's my hero!

 

[SeatownSista]

I shampoo my hair once or twice a week.

Shampoo w/MNT

Condition w/MNT, or w/Asquith & Somerset Coconut Cream Intensive Hair Conditioner, or w/Asquith & Somerset Ultra Rich Shea Butter Conditioner

I try to deep condition once a week with Elasta QP DPR-11 or w/Coconut Cream Intensive Hair Conditioner

Leave-In Aveda Elixir

Spray scalp with Surge and oil scalp and hair with Africa Gold "Super Sure Gro"
Use MNT Conditioner or Aveda Elixir as moisturizer.

 

[cocopuff]

Why so many shampoos? Or do you combine some of these?

I combine some of them. for example: a little bit of Tresemme with a little bit of Aveda Rosemary Mint becasue when I use Aveda by itself, it tends to make my hair a little too dry.

 

[cocopuff]

y did u need to use all those conditioners and shampoos all in the same day???

I was trying to use up some of the conditioners so I mixed a few and I mixed a little Aveda with a little Tresemme.

 

[MissMarie23]

Wash day:
Shampoo (NTM or CON)
Conditioner (Usually NTM or Humectress)
Leave in (Mixture of conditioner and oil in a spray bottle)

CO wash day:
Conditioner (NTM, Humectress, or Suave)
Leave in

I clarify once a month and use a protein conditioner (Keraphix) before my regular conditioner.

yea my sis has thick brastrap length hair and all she uses is MNT poo and con and pink hair lotion !

 

[baglady215]

So many products.... soooo many products. Ladies, I literally have NO idea where to begin to even catch up with you all. I'm tempted to buy a bottle of Suave shampoo and conditioner and call it a day.

LOL. That's what I was thinking... I gotta cure my PJism!

 

[Nay]

I keep it simple.

I wash my hair every five days, and these are the products I use:

* CON shampoo
* CON conditioner
* Liv (to style)

That's it.
I have some Elucence, but I haven't used it in MONTHS. My husband doesn't like the smell

 

[LABETT]

My wash day I use the following

Lanza Protein Plus Shampoo followed by Elucence Shampoo
Elucence Conditioner or Deep Conditioner alternating UBH and ORS Hair Mayo
Lacio Lacio or Salerm 21 leave in
UBH Moisturizer or BBD Stretch Creme

 

[BklynHeart]

I usually wash every 6 days:

Sebastian's Cello-Shampoo
Sebastian's 2+1 Reconstructor OR Lamour's Bone Marrow
Pink creme rinse
Fantasia IC Liquid Mousse for rollerset.

 

[Tracy]

If rollersetting, 4....

Shampoo, some kind of conditioner, a leave in and some serum.

If wearing curly, 4....

Conditioner, leave in, gel, serum

 

[karezone]

Let's see. It all depends on what I am doing to my hair.

For a rollerset:
NTM creamy leave in
infusium with water
Motions setting lotion
shine serum
hair oil or moisturizer
Ion heat protectant spray (after rollers are in)

If I am wet wrapping use a small amount of full strength infusium. If I am blowdrying no infusium and I save the heat protectant spray for the blow dry.

 

[angellazette]

On wash day I:

Shampoo with Elucence MB
Condition with Elucence MB
Use the MB conditioner for a leave in and spray my Surge mixture on my scalp
Seal with coconut & avocado oil
Sometimes I'll add a bit of Elucence Silk Elixir when it's almost dry

I clarify as needed, condition wash here and there, and hopefully I'll find another good shampoo and conditioner so I can switch between the two.
