Which regimen??? ......
Nichi, you've made incredible progress! You gots ta share...share with us.
I had two pre-LHCF regimens. I had the pre-LHCF, pre-high-school regimen and it was:
1. Relax every 4-6 weeks, applying relaxer from root to tip and leaving it until my scalp was about ready to slide off my head. Then, sit in front of a fan, and leave it even longer. Gets it extra straight.
2. Wash with random CoN shampoo whenever I would scratch my scalp and see dirt under my fingernails.
3. No conditioner...conditioner is for white people.
4. Blow dry on high, using pink oil to moisturize every ten minutes or so.
5. Put that blue magic pressing grease all over my head and then curl my hair with my curling iron. Also on high. It had a steam feature, so I'd use that to moisturize. When my hair sizzled, my heart used to sing.
6. Curl my hair that way about 4-5 times a week.
7. When not curling, force my hair into the "flame" ponytail with bobby pins, brown gel and Fantasia IC gel (with hair "lites") and pink oil.
8. No silk scarf...scarves are for old people, like my mom. Who incidentally had BSL hair. But did I make that connection? Noooo.
And then when I started high school, I started another regimen, which was:
1. Get micro-braids.
2. Grease scalp with doo-gro grease about once a week.
3. Spray braids with African Pride braid spray about twice a week.
4. Very very very rarely wash my braids. It ruins the style.
5. Keep braids in as long as possible, usually for three-four months.
6. Take braids down, relax my hair the same day (makes the hair grow faster), wait for the burns to subside, and then braid it up again.
With the first reggie, I was a damaged and busted ear length, and with the second, I made it to shoulder and stopped. Thank God for LHCF.
