My Relaxed Hair Regimen

Daily

  • Moisturize my hair at night using Elasta QP Olive Oil & Mango Butter and then I seal using Sweet Almond Oil
  • I braid my hair after M&S or I put it in a loose bun then I put on my Satin Bonnet
  • I wear my hair in protective styles 99% of the time. The other 1% is braid outs

Weekly

  • Co wash 2x a week (usually on Wed & Sat)
  • DC 2x a week
  • Air dry 100% of the time

I do medium protein treatments once or twice a month, clarify once a month, and wash with a sulfate/silicone free shampoo when I feel like I have build up on my hair.

My regimen had changed since I started and it will continue to change as the needs of my hair changes. I try not to be a product junkie. If you see something you want to try on your hair do some research on the product. Look at the ingredients so you can know what you are putting on your hair. The first day I started my HJ I pulled out all of my hair products and read what was in them. I found out I did not have one conditioner that did not have protein in it. Everything I thought I had to moisturize my hair had petroleum or mineral oil in it. I have also learned that everything my hair idols use I can't use. Every hair journey is different so listen to your hair. One of my hair idols is PrettyWitt77. Look her up on YouTube she has a great video about Listening to your hair.

    1. I shampoo wash my hair once a month. Sometimes I might even go 6 weeks if I haven't been too heavy handed with my oils and products
