After shampooing, I:
- Towel dry
- Put on plastic cap
- Then section by section I apply my deep conditioning mixture--1 cup KeraCare Humecto, 1 tbsp EVOO, 1 tbsp JBCO, 1 tbsp honey
- Sit under dryer w/ heat for 30 mins--hair is shaped like a ponytail and pinned to front of head
- Rinse very well
- Add Roux Porosity Control as a final rinse, 1 minute max
- Continue with leave-ins and styling--Chi Keratin Mist, KeraCare Leave-in, distilled water spray as needed

After I shampoo, normally at night, I rub oil(mixture coconut oil,jojoba,sweet almond,avocado,olive,amla and vitamin e oil) into my hair and scalp then massage about a min without rinsing, i follow with my deep conditioner. rub it into my hair then use a plastic cap to cover. i wear a terry head band over the edges of the cap to prevent leaking then i cover with a silk bonnet. i wash off in the morning..apply my leave in and seal with a sealant...

After I shampoo, I rinse it out, apply the conditioner for the duration of my shower, then I rinse that out, towel dry, detangle, section off into three sections, apply Soft and Beautiful Thermal Straigthening Lotion and blowdry. Then before I fully blow dry I apply carrot cream and then finish blow drying and then after I have blow dry all over I then comb out, start from the back and work my way up, I flat iron and use oil sheen(Pantene Pro-v or whatever I have) and if I'm not going anywhere I wrap my hair.

After washing my hair;
1. I slightly dry it then add AO HSR and sit under the steamer for 40mins to an hour
2. Once the steaming treatment is complete, I rinse well with cold water then do a final ACV rinse (75ml of ACV to 1 litre of spring water).
3. Lastly, I slightly dry my hair and add Oyin Honey-Hemp Conditioner as a leave-in then seal with Black Jamaican castor and Avocado oil.

After shampooing, immediately apply a DC -- Hairveda's SitriNillah or SheScenit's Banana Brulee. (I always deep-condition after shampooing).
Put conditioning cap on and sit under the dryer for 30 minutes. And depending on how quickly I need to do my hair, may keep the cap on for 1, 2, 3 hours or longer.
Rinse hair.
Use either of these products -- Hairveda's pH 24/7 Balancing Rinse-Restore & Condition or ACV rinse or Roux Porosity Control Corrector Conditioner.
Rinse hair.
Apply a quarter-size of a leave in conditioner -- Shescentit's Coco Creme leave-in or Afroveda's coconut moisture milk or Nu Milk. Comb through-out my hair.
Use either of these products for a roller set -- Afroveda's PUR whipped jelly or Lottabody setting lotion or Qhemetbiologics's Honeybush Tea Soft Gel.
Sit under the dryer for 30 minutes and afterwards air dry the rest of the way.
Note: If I'm doing a protein treatment, I apply this immediately following a shampoo and DC afterwards.

After I wash I towel dry and apply a DC and my choice of castor oil or tea tree oil. I put on a cap let it sit for an hour. Rinse well and apply leave-in (NTM Silk touch) and Chi Silk Infusion. I let it air dry overnight. I'm currently wearing braid outs so once my hair has dried most of the way I will braid hair and let it air dry the rest of the way.

It depends on when I shampoo. If shampooing is step #1, the rest of my wash day is as follows:
2. Apply Aphogee 2-min & sit under heating cap for 15 mins.
3. Rinse & apply KBB deep condish
4. Rinse & do an ACV rinse
5. Squeeze excess water from my hair w/ my fingers
6. Section hair & apply dime-sized amount of either Jane Carter Solution Hair Nourishing Cream or Hydratherma Naturals Daily Moisturizing Growth Lotion to each section
7. Seal w/ KBB hair oil & twist
If I apply AO GPB to dry hair, I shampoo w/ Earthly Delight Herbal Shampoo while the AO GPB is in my hair. Then I follow steps four to seven.

I have Between shoulder length and APL relaxed hair:
1. shampoo with VO5 or CON if I have build-up
2. deep condition for 30 min in plastic cap +/- hot towel on head for steam treatment
3. detangle in shower under running water with condish in (only time I comb completely through my relaxed hair) and rinse with cold water to finish
4. Blot with towel as I get out of shower (not rub but just pat towel on head then put on shoulder to catch water)
5. apply liquid leave-in like mane and tail detangler and separate with fingers to distribute
6. apply creamy leave-in like HH long term relationship (tiny less than dime size amount)
7. apply an oil mix to hair ends only
8. my key step for air drying! Apply dime size JCS nourish and shine by rubbing in hands until liquid then pat my hands over top of hair and then massage into entire length of hair
9. Wrap silk scarf around edges like a bandana/headband and let air dry loose. (wash and go!)
10. Follow with flexirods or crosswrap at night depending on if I want it straight or curly the next day.
My hair is soft and bouncy after this and look as if I blow dried it. I think the combination of products helps prevent drying of the hair during air drying. I never flat iron unless I have a special event. This process gets it straight enough for me since my hair is relaxed bone straight and the less manipulation the better. I don't comb it again until next wash day 4-7 days later, just rearrange and detangle with fingers as needed.
I'm new to board but hope to figure out how to post pics soon! HTH

I squeeze out the water from my hair. and then i apply my DC, sit under the dryer for 25 mins, get back in the shower and let the DC stay in for another 10 mins and rinse. I squeeze out the water again, clip my wet hair up and 5 mins later i take it down, apply my leave in and detangle with my shower comb.

Thanks for the welcome!
I do a mixture of honey, peppermint oil, EVCO or EVOO, and whatever conditioner I have around to mix all of this in at the time alternating protein based like Mane and Tail or something moisturizing like HH, Pantene, VO5. I am a PJ so I have a lot of so-so conditioners who need help to whip them into shape.
for more responses. This is a good thread.

After shampooing, I
it takese about 3 hours from shampoo to finished product.
- 1. Apply Deep conditioner to entire head
- 2. Cover with a plastic cap
- 3. Sit under hooded dryer for 30 minutes
- 4. Let hair cool completely and rinse out conditioner
- 5. Apply cheapie condish for slip. I use either VO5 Moisture Milk or Tresseme Moisture Rich. If I want my hair to smell really good, I use VS So Sexy Condish for dry/damaged hair. If my hair's ph is off, I use Roux Porosity Control.
- 6. Rinse out conditioner with strikingly cold water and apply NTM Silk Touch Leave In and Chi Silk Infusion to the ends. Detangle with seamless detangling rake.
- 7. Rollerset hair using Mohawk method. I use my seamless rattail comb to straighten. I spray magnetic rollers with cold water before rolling hair on them.
- 8. Back under the hooded dryer for an hour
- 9. Let hair cool and now I either wrap hair around head, cover with Saran wrap, sit under dryer for 15 minutes(silk wrap) or pin hair up and go to bed.

After shampooing, I assess my hair's condition. If I experienced breaking during shampooing or if my hair just feels a bit weak (dunno how to properly explain it; I'm kinda in tune with my hair), I use Aphogee's 2 Minute Reconstructer for 5 minutes, rinse, then condition. If my hair feels fine, I jump right into conditioning.
To condition, I apply a mix of Herbal Essences Hello Hydration and Neutrogena Triple Moisture Mask (I skip the Neutrogena when I don't feel like I'm lacking heavily in the moisture department) conditioners. I cover with extra virgin olive oil, and leave the mix in for however long I see fit (usually a few hours; I don't count). I rinse, none too thoroughly, then proceed to styling.
Depending on how I style, I add my moisturizers, oils and heat protectants. If I'm pressing my hair, a light mist of heat protectant (Elasta QP's) and EVOO is all I apply. If I'm not pressing, I apply Qhemet Biologics Amla and Olive Heavy Cream (when I'm feeling moisture parched) or QB Burdock Root Butter Cream. I always follow with EVOO (its my fave!). I then either braid, flattwist, two strand twist and set on rollers, or two strand twist and bantu knot. On occasion, when I want a bigger look, I'll blowdry and plait my hair in two big braids for big, bouncy waves. This is rare, though.

I apply either a rinse out conditioner and wash my body or a DC and let it sit for a hour. Then I rinse and apply my leave in and oil and style my hair.
