From the 11 months that I have been on my hair Journey a lot has changed when it comes to my regimen.
#Protective styling
-For my sew ins, I will be wearing them for 12 weeks
-I will cleanse my scalp & natural hair bi-weekly with creme of nature argan oil shampoo & deep condition with ors replenishing conditioner & oils for 30 minutes w/ heat or 2 hours w/o heat. apply cantu shea butter leave in.moisturize with scurl. I will cowash my hair every other week with aussie moist conditioner. Oil my scalp. Then moisturize with scurl. Every 4 weeks I will cleanse my scalp and hair with ors dry shampoo & follow up with an acv rinse to remove buildup. deep condition with ors replenishing conditioner & oils for 45 minutes w/ heat. I will wash my extensions as needed with creme of nature argan oil shampoo. condition with aussie moist conditioner. moisturize with creme of nature argan oil leave in. as needed i will deep condition with aussie 3 minute miracle and extra virgin olive oil. Air dry extensions then style as desired.
- I will no longer be doing the l.o.c. method. Instead I will moisturize with scurl every other day.
-Scalp will be oiled 1x a week.
#Regi
-After my sew ins, I will be leaving my hair out for 2 weeks. I have also changed my cleansing methods.
-I now co-wash 1x a week with aussie moist. I then follow up with aussie 3 minute miracle. I have realized that my hair thrives best when clean so every weekend I cleanse with my creme of nature sulfate free shampoo. Deep conditioning will now only be with the ors replenishing conditioner & my oil mix.
-My clarifying schedule have not changed. I will clarify after every sew in.
-Instead of doing the l.o.c. method, i now do the l.c.o. method (my twist to it). I spray scurl, then I apply cantu shea butter, then seal with my oil mix of coconut, castor, peppermint oil (done on washdays).
-Scalp is also oiled on washdays/2x a week. In between wash days I keep my hair moisturized with shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie.
#Styling
-Protective styles in between sew ins are my draw string puff and the marley braid bun that I do. Both match my natural texture beautifully.
#Progress
-My edges and sides around my ears have filled in quite a bit. My nape has improved also but there is still much room for improvement! Overall, my hair has come a long way. Since my 1 year anniversary, I will have a sew in I won't be able to do a length check on the exact date. BUT I will do an asap length check && progress pics (to show fullness) as soon as I take out my sew in.
#Trimming
-I will trim every 2 sew ins .
Current/Staple Products
THAT'S ALL FOR NOW
LOVING MY NATURAL HAIR MORE EACH DAY :)
