To All who Keep it Simple... What's your regimen??

Prepoo with oil as I am detangling, nothing extra here
Shampoo
Deep condition (20 minutes)
Stretch hair in big twists to air dry
Once hair is dry, style it

Repeat 2-3 weeks later.
 
I'd say I keep it simple.
I wash, DC, once a week, and style. (flexirods, braidouts, twistouts, twists, bantu knots, straight, etc.)
If my hair feels dry, i slather serum or moisturizer on it.
if my scalp itches before washday, I'll add some oil. or just do the weave head pat and suck it up. :look:
i slap a bonnet on at night.
 
Dry application of AO GPB
Wash
DC With AOWC
Leave in KCKT
All done in braids that are worn under a wig. I keep the braids in for a month at a time.
Massage oils & Moist & seal 3-4x a week
 
I pre poo with a olive oil, avocado oil, jojoba oil and argan oil mix
Wash with black soap
Use shea butter leave in
Air dry
Do mini to small twists every 2 weeks
 
My regimen is pretty simple right now:

- Moisturize in the morning
- Baggy at night
- Cowash when I feel like it.

I'm doing the curly girl routine, so no shampoo is needed. :)
 
Braid once a month
Co wash, moisturize and seal daily
Shampoo and DC 1-2x a week
Wig 4-6 times a week
 
poo or cowash
detangle with vo5
moist with rosewater
seal with evoo or evco
plait or twist
durag
wig
massage scalp a few times a week
 
I wash once every 2-3 weeks, depending on the style. I try to deep condition every time I wash.

I use Silk Elements Moisturizing shampoo. For my deep conditioner, I use Aussie 3 minute Moisture (I think that's the name) mixed with Olive Oil.

That's about it. My main styles are wash and go, twistouts, or braidouts. I straighten probably every 3 months, and for that, I use Garnier anti-frizz serum.

Every now and then I cowash with V05 strawberries and cream.

I leave my hair completely alone between washes. No moisturizer, no sprays, just wake up, fluff, and go. I find that regular deep conditioning has given me the proper moisture balance so I don't need to do anything else. For me, the key to simplicity is picking styles that will look good and last a long time.:yep:

--DC with heat for at least 45 minutes
--Detangle, blow dry and flat iron
--Repeat every 2 weeks

Every week I wash, deep condition, detangle, moisturize, seal, and put in 3 braids for a braid out. I bun the rest of the week.

Sent from my iPhone while out living my best life!
 
Co-wash when I feel like it
Bun or wig 95% of time
If wearing a puff, I'll moisturizer daily. If no puff, I don't moisturizer until the next co-wash
Shampoo and detangle once a month
 
I like to think that I keep things simple since every 4-7 days I will:

Shampoo
Detangle (while rinsing)
Protein treatment (as needed)
DC (under the dryer for 30 minutes, outside the dryer for another hour or so)
Moisturize
Seal
Air dry (either in a ponytail or two Celie braids)

Every other day I will refresh with my water mixture and Darcy’s Transitioning Cream, and re-braid/re-ponytail. The end.
 
I live in twists as if they were locs, never taking them out to wear my hair loose, but redoing one at a time whenever I'm in the mood, usually while watching TV.

Wash my hair in twists twice a week (shampoo, condition, ACV rinse--towel dry and style, or drip dry and leave loose; no leave-in product); the second wash of the week includes a DC.

Baggy every night. Dust ends of twists every 8 weeks.
 
Prepoo with coconut oil.
Wash with shampoo or conditioner.
Oil rinse with sweet almond oil.

Once a week deep condition.

Spritz and seal hair one to two times a day.

My hair is mostly in protective styles.
