Wash 1x-2x a week, and if a second wash is done during that week it is a condition wash

Pretreatment: Hot oil (Queen Helene Jojoba Oil, Olive oil or Castor Oil)

Shampoo: Softsheen Breakthru or Creme of Nature, lather 2x
Deep Condition with a heat cap for 30-60 minutes, after every wash with Humecto. I also use profectiv growth masque, Elucence moisture balancing conditioner, Motions Moisture Plus, Motions Cpr, etc.

I do a last rinse with Suave Humectant or Smooth N sleek

I then use Razac Leave-in which is a definite staple for me (thanks carmenrose, and beana3)

If I wear my hair straight, I use Keracare wrap-set foam + Elasta QP design foam and then I wrap and airdry.. It is important for me to put 3 rollers at the crown of my head.
OR
I use the Carolyn Gray ponytail method of airdrying…I apply a castor and wildgro oil on my wet hair and put it into a low ponytail to dry..and then I use Caruso rollers
OR
Roller set with razac and silk n seal (thanks beana again)

Once-twice a month, I use Affirm 5 N1, Dudleys Hair rebuilder, elasta qp breakage control serum, or Aubrey Gpb for a protein treatment followed by Suave Humectant

Daily: I moisturize 2x-3x a day with mainly cdhair milk and b&b castor oil. I alternate between S-Curl no drip, profectiv anti-breakage megamoisturizer, dudleys pca, wildgro+castor oil, profectiv breakthru, keihls silkgroom, shea butter and ors carrot oil
My hair really loves the s-curl no drip followed by some castor oil

Perm every 3 months with Affirm Lye relaxer, left for a short period of time
One week before a perm, and one week after I use Affirm 5n1

Vitamins: when i can i drink natures plus healthy hair shake

Nightly: I put my hair in a high ponytail, and then fasten a large magnetic roller with roller clips to the ponytail, Sometimes I wrap it with a seamless comb, Or sleep with my hair in a bun. I always sleep with a satin cap.
When I comb my hair I either use the jilbere shower comb or a seamless comb.
I dust my own hair, very often

very beautiful hair I jus started getting serious about my hair about 3 months ago and my hair looks just like yours does in the first pick but maybe a little longer but way thinner, hopefully around next year it will look like how yours look now. have you always airdried your hair? for the past 3-4 months I've been airdrying with the exception of hood drying with rollar set after every relaxer. do you follow the same? sometimes I feel airdrying does more harm then good, even though I see results. A lot of the products you are using I notice I am to. It just makes me feel like I must be doing something right. of yeah , what's your hair type? cause I think we are the same and I'm still not sure what mine is.

again very, very beautiful hair

Thanks offthechainliz! I have always airdried because i am scared to death of heat. Sometimes i feel like you that airdrying does my hair more harm than good, but i think the products can make a difference in how your hair airdrys, once i found products that seal in moisture airdrying isn't a pain anymore. I too only rollerset with heat after my relaxer, but now i think since it is freezing in N.Y. I will use my bonnet dryer once every 2 weeks on medium because my hair will never dry if i air dry it. But i will airdry in between. I am 4a/b. I am sure your hair will progress in no time, take pics b/c sometimes we don't really see our progress until we look at pics.
 
Thanks again you guys..I was just looking at ya'll albums all of ya'll have gorgeous healthy looking hair! that is why ya'll compliments mean so much to me.
