Co-wash Conditioners: V05 & Tresseme
Moisture DC: Lutrasilk Shea Butter & Mango
Protein DC: Aphogee 2 Minute Reconstructor & ORS Replenishing Pack

[NIN4eva]

Correction:

Shampoo - Roux PC or Affirm Neutralizing (I LOVE this shampoo)

Now everything else is in the siggy.

I'm probably ditching the Silicon Mix Protein/Pearl leave-in and Aphogee 2-minute. These aren't good enough for how much they cost.

I may go back to Nexxus Emergencee. I'm keeping the Aphogee 2 STEP though. It's awesome!

The only staple product I really have is Olive Oil. I use it to deep condition my hair before I wash and condition it. I also like to use Suave shampoo and conditioner (which I sort of consider staples...I'll decide when I finish the bottle).
