Lately I have been asked about my current hair regimen. Since my hair has grown, I've had to tweak my regimen a little so I figured I better update it.Currently my hair care regimen consists of washing my hair with a sulfate-free shampoo and deep conditioner with heat at least once every two to three weeks. I sometimes co-wash my hair with a low-cost conditioner such as Suave Naturals or Herbal Essence while wearing a protective style. My current go-to styles are braid outs, mini twists, and braided/flat twisted up do styles. Because my hair has reached bra strap length, I have resorted to more protective styling because time doesn't always permit for me to wash my hair as often as I used to.
I find that when my hair is out I tend to mess in it more often then I would like. When I notice that I am putting my hands in my hair too often or I begin to feel anxious about my hair, I simply wear it in a protective style that will not require anything more that adding moisture. Some protective styles I would recommend for shorter length hair include: flat twists, mini twists, corn rows, and sew-in weaves(this has worked wonders for some when installed properly)... and yes, they have weaves that mimic our kinky coiled hair so you can still achieve that natural look.
My current staple products consist of the following:
Rapunzel shampoo and Deep conditioner
Pure Silk Souffle by Virtuously Pure(This is my product which is an all natural hair and body butter that I make and sell. This product is used as a daily moisturizer and styler for twists, braid outs, and braided up dos. This product also works wonders on my extremely dry skin.)
I use a henna mixture that I make at least once every two to three months for extra protein and added strength.
I hope I have given you some tools that you can add to your regimen. Please leave comments or suggestions letting me know what you think.
As always, leave a comment or feel free to ask questions. Together we will accomplish our growth goals of achieving long, healthy hair. I am thoroughly enjoying this journey. Watch me grow From My Nape to my Waist....
