Who's reggie do you use?
My very first regimen was from Carolyn Gray's book. She had a six-week regimen, I would repeat it during my 12-week stretches. I followed it religiously for about a year and a half and my hair thrived! But it was a bit product-intensive, so I scaled it down by reading others' reggies and experimenting on my own.
I love the scarf method from Sylver2 (an airdryer's dream!).
Also, her MaxiGlide fotki tutorial, helped me stretch like nobody's business.
SistaSlick - her relaxer and porosity articles raised my DIY game.
LHCF in general, has given me so many pearls of wisdom, there are so many others that have contributed to my growth thus far.
Macherieamour and SouthernTease - I love their turban towel steam method.
How long have you been using it? All together with ladies included - since late 2005...still a work in progress.
Are you seeing results? Oh yeah, I went from a teeny weeny afro, and now I am passed BSL. A few setbacks, but overall, I have a new head of hair!
If you use your own reggie and you're seeing results, what is that reggie?
My new regimen:
- From weeks 1-12, I rollerset (sometimes under dryer and sometimes airdry) once or twice a week.
- From 12-24 weeks, I wash every other week, airdry, flat iron roots.
- I will be incorporating bagging back into my regi, and more airdried styles during the summer.
- IN GENERAL: Prepoo always with oil or condish or both, DC with or without heat, use a Dominican rinse or porosity control as final rinse, then style.
