New Regimen *Updated 8/11/09*

I bought some new products, so I thought, why not make a new regimen? There is nothing wrong with my old regimen, but I'm always up for change. So here goes:

[Every other week] *I wash once a week*
1. Pre-poo for 30 minutes with Silk Elements Intense conditioning Mayonaisse [protein]
2. Shampoo with NTM Cream Lather shampoo
3 Deep condition with Keracare Humecto for 1 hour [moisture]
4. Spray Infusium 23 leave-in strengthener throughout hair
5. Moisturize wet hair with a quarter size of S-curl
6. Airdry
7. Oil scalp with Jamaican Black Castor Oil mixed with MN [Only on wash days]

[Alternating week] *I wash once a week*
1. Pre-poo overnight with Coconut Oil
2. Shampoo with NTM Cream Lather shampoo
3. Deep condition with ORS Replenishing conditioner for 45 minutes [protein & moisture ♥]
4. Spray Infusium 23 leave-in strengthener throughout hair
5. Moisturize with a quarter size of S-curl
6. Airdry
7. Oil scalp with Jamaican Black Castor Oil mixed with MN [Only on wash days]

Things i do to my hair:
1. After im done washing, depending on how many weeks post i am, i do a rollerset (up to 4 weeks post), or bun (5 + weeks post), or braid out (5 + weeks post)
2. I moisturize and seal with JBCO every morning and night
3. I baggy my ends nightly with my moisturizer, sealed with JBCO
4. I dust my ends every time i relax now [i used to do it once a year]
5. I relax up to 3-4 months now [used to do them every 6 months]
6. I comb my hair mainly on wash day, but if i have to fix up my bun, i "rake" very gently through my hair w/ a wide tooth comb
7. I keep my hair tied up w/ a satin scarf every single time im inside my house (5 + weeks post)
8. I airdry 90% of the time
9. I never use direct heat, unless i have too, which is not too often
10. I only co-wash when i want to wash a hairstyle out of my hair long before my wash day is due
