 | ***************My Healthy Hair Rules*****************
1.) No HEAT more than once a week- except for conditioning treatment
-Use lowest heat setting
-Use Thermal Protectant
-Use flat iron and comb dryer only in DIRE emergencies. DIRE!
2.) Wash hair twice weekly- Usually Thursday nights and (Sunday/Monday)
- I usually use Creme of Nature Green label for regular weekly shampooing. Other good shampoos that I use for weekly washes are: Kenra Moisturizing Shampoo, Elucence Moisture Benefits Shampoo, and Neutragena Cream Lather Shampoo
3.) Deep condition after Sunday/Monday wash
-Usually with Creme of Nature conditioner mixed w/ AtOne reconstructor: or Kenra Moisturizing Conditioner, Elasta QP DPR
4.) Protein condition treatment on last Thursday of month or as needed in between
-Usually with Aphogee 2 min reconstructor or Motions CPR. Every six to eight weeks, I do a heavy protein treatment with the hardcore Aphogee for damaged hair treatment (My protein schedule really depends on how my hair feels, though.)
5.) I follow all washing sessions with the leave-in conditioner of my choice. Lately it has been Salerm 21.
6.) Trim ends every 4-6 weeks for maintenance of hemline.
7.) Keep ends protected with bun or other protective style whenever possible
8.) Wear satin scarf to sleep or whenever lounging around the house. Never let my hair rub any harsh fabric--cotton, wool, etc.
9.) Moisturize daily with close attention to the last 2-3 inches and ends of hair. I alternate between ORS olive oil and Profectiv/Cantu Shea Butter break cure/ and growstrong treatment. I may add "S-curl no drip" to them. Just depends. I usually use mango butter or some oil (almond, vatika, carrot, olive, coconut oil) on ends to seal in my water-based moisturizer.
10.) Use comb sparingly I have even managed to get to the point where daily combing is pretty much obsolete. I have become pretty adept at finger styling or wearing braidout styles that do not require daily combing. Drastically cuts back on the manipulation and handling.
NO BRUSHES, NO HEAT (OK I cheat once a month =) LOL!)
Other key Points:
No grease-ever! Except for basing scalp for relaxer.
Do not apply anything to the scalp. Massages should distribute natural oils and moisturizers.
Relax hair with Mizani every 12 weeks- 14 weeks.
Massage Scalp once or twice a day for at least 5-10 mins to stimulate circulation.

Blue Magic or Softee for basing relaxer
Reconstructor/Protein Treatments*******************
Aphogee 2min keratin reconstructor & hardcore treatment
Aphogee Balancing Moisturizer (which is horrible)
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
(Pre-poo treatment with Dabur Amla Oil overnight before wash)
Wash every 3-4 days with Creme of Nature Shampoo and Creme of Nature Moisturizing Conditioner mixed with AtOne Botanicals Reconstructor)
Deep Condition with shower cap and warm towel 45 mins. Rinse.
My leave in conditioner step depends on my particular hair needs at the time. *See above for leave in conditioner traits* I then add a waterbased moisturizer (according to its traits as well) Seal with oils. Allow to airdry out for about 10 mins, then pull damp hair into bun. Finish Airdrying in bun.
On regular days, I moisturize twice a day... once in the morning and again before bed. If hair needs it during the day, I'll moisturize on an as needed basis. I always seal with an oil. Always!
Once a month,(last Thursday of the month) clarify with Pantene Pro-V clarifying shampoo or Infusium Moisturizing Formula Shampoo (milder than the Pantene).
Conditioner washes with suave milk and Honey or Neutragena Triple Moisure...(mixed w/ Cr譥 of Nature conditioner)...only when hair feels excessively dry.
