I get my hair relaxed by a professional every eight weeks
1. Daily:
Moisturize with Whipped oil moisturizer**
I section my hair in fours with a wide tooth comb and apply the moisturizer from roots to ends. I love this moisturizer because its not heavy and it gives GREAT sheen.
I wrap my hair and tie it down with a silk scarf and bonnet.
Sealant: Extra virgin Olive oil ***
2. I wash my hair bi-weekly, as where i live is very cold and I don't use a lot of products, so I don't have a lot of build up.
Wash Day Regimen:
Pre-poo with VO5 Moisture Milks conditioner
Shampoo with Creme of Nature Moisture and Shine
Clarify once per month with ORS Creamy Aloe shampoo
Deep condition with ORS Replenishing Deep Conditioner
Apply Cantu Shea Butter Leave in OR African Pride Leave in
Air Dry until 80% dry then Blow on cool setting
Flat iron with L'Oreal Straightening Creme
** Every two months I do A protein treatment using:
1 egg
1 tbsp olive oil
water
For Styling
I use Smooth n Shine styling mousse and apply perm rods to create curls that last me through the week.
Sometimes i will use my Eco-Styler protein gel for buns

**I use the optimum oil whipped moisturizer now, but planning to change to This. I used this before and its much cheaper than the one I am currently using.
