My Hair Regimen

Hola! I know it's been a few weeks since I've posted and I am so sorry! But.. I'm back on target!

Last time, I gave you my hair story.. today, I just want to tell you what I do to take care of my hair. One important thing to remember is that your hair journey and hair regimen.. is just that.. Yours! One thing I've spent so much time doing is researching what other individuals did but never establishing MY own recipe for MY hair. Until, probably about 3-4 months ago! I finally decided, I needed to do my hair, for me.. and learn my hair, for me.. and I'm happy with my regimen and hopefully, so is my hair! :)

For me, I wash my hair weekly. Mostly on Saturdays, for church. Yes, I was raised that way--get your hair done Saturday for church on Sunday. It may sound silly, but hey.. it works, lol!

I wash using Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Aloe Vera Shampoo- my natural hair stylist recommended it for moisture, but I love the way it smells and my hair feels clean and free after I wash.

I then D/C (Deep Condition) using their Deep Stimulating Conditioner. This smells good too but my hair also feels soft after I wash the conditioner out.

For a leave-in, it depends on how I'm feeling and what style I choose..

If I'm protecting my hair (which is most important, in maintaining hair growth), I use my Prettydimples01 Shea Butter or Kimmaytube's Leave-In conditioner. Now, I've used Kimmaytube's method most recently and I can say, my curls have been defined and my hair does feel moisturized, but, my hair sometime feels too greasy. so, the jury is still out on this product. If I want I get my hair braided and then a style, I use Cantu Shea Butter Leave-in Conditioner. Quick, clean and contains Shea butter.. can't go wrong with that!

For styling.. I stick with either the sheabutter mix or.. Miss Jessie's products!! I love, love, love their stuff! Now, it is extremely expensive but I believe so worth it! I found them at the beauty supply store, here in Durham.. so, I buy the travel size (2 oz) until I can afford to add them to my budget. For Christmas, I did catch the BOGO, sale and got the Curly Pudding for me and the Baby Buttercreme for my daughter.. Her hair loves it!!

Now, upon mad..MAD research, I've come to learn that protective styling helps retain moisture and promotes growth. So, especially during this harsh winter we're having, keeping our hands out of our hair, is productive for not only your hair, but helps retain moisture and promotes growth.

So.. that's how I take care of my hair.. Share your favorite products.. I'd love to maybe try them.. depends on the cost! :)

Oh.. and Happy Valentine's Day!
