Regimen as of now.... (May 26, 2012)
~It has become nothing but one word. SIMPLE. I think that's been the key to my success, Nelly is now finally on a growth streak again after one long and stagnant hiatus of mediocre growth. I finally found out a few tips and tricks that has been working in my favor and these will probably stick for the rest of my life. Low manipulation is key, that's what I'm learning.

~What I Do Now~

*Wash once//twice a month with Terressentials Hair Mud Wash. I usually do an ACV (apple cider vinegar) rinse before I apply it and finger detangle while in the shower rinsing out the mud. It seems to work in my favor. I rarely need to use a comb these days.

*Moisturize with water always. I look at it as water is the actual moisturizer, the products I use are just sealing in the moisture. So I rarely do any style without putting some sort of water on my hair first.

*Daily ritual of oiling and massaging my scalp. Lately I've been using in alternation: avocado, olive, and castor oil. Doing this has reduced my dandruff issues greatly and shedding problems! Nelly is getting healthier and healthier everyday!

*Egg protein treatments monthly. Especially during the summer since it's easy for my hair to get over moisturized due to the HIGH content of humidity.


~Mini Twists Regimen~
*Wash and condition to prep
*Decide: blowdry for the sleek and straighter mini twists, stretch hair in natural state in fat plaits for a crinklier, more natural look
*Oil scalp after they are done being put in and everyday after that to aid in preventing buildup/dandruff (oddly enough)
*Wash mini twists whenever neccessary
*To maintain overnight: Pull into one fat ponytail and band all the way down to keep hair stretched
*Spritz everyday with water and seal in with an oil, butter can be added last if extra moisture is neccessary.

~Currently favorite products//moisturizers are...
*WATER!!
*Oils (avocado, olive, castor, grapeseed, and coconut oil so far)
*Whipped Shea Butter Mix
*Terressentials Hair Mud Wash
*Bee Mine Bee Hold Curly Butter
*Shea Moisture's Shea Butter Deep Masque Treatment
*Tresemme and Suave Naturals Conditioners
*Shescentits Brazil Nut Curly Buttercream

~Currently favorite styles are...
*Braidouts (all sizes)
*Mini Twists
*Regular Twists Sets (all sizes)
*Genie Locs/Yarn Braids
