Hair Regimen

This is a long overdue update; I have had a busy couple of weeks but still continuing to take care of my hair. I have been working to establish a hair regimen and will outline what I have come up with so far and the products I use.

Daily
  • Moisturize and Seal (morning and night)
Every other day
  • Scalp massage with oils
  • Green House Effect
Mondays
  • Prepoo with honey and coconut oil for 30 mins with heated towel
  • Shampoo
  • Deep Condition (Moisturizing DC or Protein DC, Protein every 2 weeks)
  • Apply Leave in conditioner
  • Moisturize using Liquid, Oil, Cream (LOC) method
Saturdays
  • Deep Condition on dry hair with a mixture of honey, oils and a moisturizing DC (this coincides with when I do my weekly facial cleanse, scrub, mask etc so it works out)
  • Co-wash
  • Apply Leave-in conditioner
  • Moisturize and Seal (LOC)
PRODUCTS

Shampoo:
  • ORS Creamy Aloe Shampoo
  • Black Soap (Dudu Osun)

Conditioners:
Moisturizing
  • Moroccan Argan Oil Intense Moisturizing treatment
  • Dark and Lovely Ultra Cholesterol Conditioning Mask
  • V05 Moisture Milks Conditioner (instant/cowash conditioner)

Protein
  • ORS Hair Mayonnaise**
  • Vitale Anti-Breakage Leave in conditioner
  • V05 Split Ends Antibreakage Conditioner (instant/cowash conditioner)

Moisturizers
  • Organics Extra Strength Olive Oil Growth Lotion
  • ORS HAIRepair Anti-breakage creme
  • Elasta QP Olive and Mango Butter

Oils
  • Olive oil
  • Grapeseed oil
  • Jojoba Oil
  • Castor Oil
  • Coconut Oil
  • Amla Oil ***

N.B
**After reading a certain post on LHCF I am unsure about ORS Hair Mayonnaise as a protein treatment, I am looking to get another protein deep conditioner but want to see how my hair fares with this conditioner first.
*** The brand of Amla oil I have, has Mineral Oil as the FIRST ingredient so it is not getting frequent use.

That's it! My current regime, I try to respond to what my hair needs rather than just following a regimen strictly for example I cowash almost daily as I found it works out for me in this TWA stage.

  3. The best results for your hair would be attained if you combine hair care products with right nutrition. Most nutrients for hair are received from blood, not from outside. That is why your food should be reach in vitamins. In addition, vitamins could be taken separately. I am taking special dietary supplement for hair - Hair Gain Formula by Military Grade. It contains natural compounds which enhance hair growth. My hair becomes more shiny and thick. I really like how this product works for my hair!
