Please excuse me if you find this post rather confusing. My disclaimer is, I am a single mom who doesn’t get enough sleep, so I’m usually in a state of delirium and this is definitely one of those days. Here is my current list of products I use on my hair and in the order of how I do my regimen. Click on the names of the products for ingredients and where to purchase them. Keep in mind, I use all the same products and the same regimen whether I wear my hear out in a wash and go or whether its in a protective style :) .

Deep conditioner: (Done once a week before I shampoo)

- My Honey Child Olive You

- Aubrey Organics GPB Conditioner

 

Shampoo: (Done once a week)

-Trader Joe’s Tea Tree Tingle Shampoo (It’s $4.00 at Trader Joe’s)

 

Conditioner (Done once a week and I switch up my conditioners)

- Say Yes to Carrots Conditioner or (purchase ate Walgreens or Target)

- Darcy’s Botanicals Pumpkin Seed Curl Moisturizing Conditioner

- Shea Moisture Organic Yucca & Baobab Volumizing Conditioner ( This conditioner is still undergoing a review from me, but so far it’s been good to my strands, and I have 2 bottles to use up:))

 

I semi-dry my hair with one of my son’s old cotton shirts :) .

 

Leave-in Cream or Leave-in Conditioner (Done after my wash & condition, as well as through out the week when I feel my hair needs some added moisture)

- Curls Curl Souffle or (you can purchase at Ricky’s NYC stores)

- Giovanni Direct Leave-In Weightless Moisture Conditioner or (you can purchase this at Target, The Vitamin Shoppe, or other online stores)

- Flax seed gel I have just started making this and using it on me and my son’s hair the last few weeks, and I love it! I use it mostly when I’m wearing protective styles.

 

Sealing (This is my last step after applying my leave-in. It is also done any time during the week when my hair feels dry and I feel the need to re-moisturize. I switch up with the oils as well).

- My own mix of oils include ( Extra virgin olive oil, extra virgin coconut oil, few drops of rosemary oil or lavender oil)

- Treasured Locks African Argan Elixer

- Belle Butter Double Agent Butter

Moisturizing Spritz ( I have two different spritzs that I switch between. I try to spritz my hair at least every other day or whenever my hair feels dry to put moisture back into the strands. Then I reapply a bit of leave-in cream or leave-in conditioner and reseal with an oil or butter).

- Get a small spritz bottle and fill with 75% distilled water and 25% Vegetable Glycerin

- Georges Always Active Aloe Vera Juice or ( you can purchase this from The Vitamin Shoppe like I do) I don’t dilute the aloe juice with water, I just use it as is.

Clarify

I clarify my hair with apple cider vinegar rinses at least every 3-4 weeks. This rinse ensures getting rid of any build up or extra bacteria that maybe lurking around on my scalp :) . I use 2 cups of distilled water and mix in 1/4 cup of any brand apple cider vinegar. I use it after I was the conditioner out of my hair and rinse out before applying my leave-in’s.
