Hair Care Regimine in a nutshell:

I basically wash my hair (shampoo with Aphogee Primrose Moisture shampoo) once a week. I cowash 4-5x per week (with either NTM, Humectress, 10 en 1, or Fantasia Tea Tree Conditioner- whatever smell I'm in the mood for determines which con I use). Sometimes I'll just re-wet my hair on non-cowash days because I wear it in a ponytail or a bun. My philosophy: If my hair is wet, the flat iron can't get to it. I figure it's the lesser of two evils. I immediately spray on a mixture of Surge, S-Curl, and Infusium and then I'll add either ORS Olive Oil or NTM for moisture and sometimes I'll add Salerm 21 (once or twice a week). I will then add a little ORS Temple Balm on my edges and then alcohol free gel to slick down the little fly aways on top. Sometimes I alternate the moisturizers and use Elasta QP Mango Butter, especially on the ends when I get paranoid that they're dry, but not that often. I have switched to Motions lye relaxer since it's easier on the hair and I trying to stretch to 12 weeks this time around (usually go 9-10 weeks). I sleep with a satin cap that refuses to stay on at night :-). I use the Aphogee Treatment for Damaged Hair every 2-3 months because it's a pain in the butt to do and the 2-Minute Reconstructer once in a blue moon as well. Sometimes I'll use Keraphix or ORS Hair Mayo as a protein treatment instead of Aphogee. I limit flat iron usage to once a month tops and that's usually just to update this fotki! I am a staunch believer that no/limited heat is the best thing that I have done for my hair above and beyond any product out on the market right now. -GHG
