Two Year's Later!

[Qualitee]

My regi is
I wash my hair every 4 days. ( faithfully). I use any moisturizing shampoo's like Kera Care, kenra and cream of nature. I only shampoo my scalp, not my hair, always.
I then squeeze out the water instead of toweling blotting.
I apply any conditioners that are super moiturizing like kera care Humecto, kera MC or motions silk. On the hair on the scalp!
I sit under the dryer for 30 minutes. Let my hair cool and rinse in the shower,
I then as i rinse add a little cheapie conditioner and let it sit for 2 minutes and detangle with a detangling comb. ( I use the flow of the shower water to assist in the detangling process, works great!)
I rinse finally with cold water and squeeze all the water out.
I apply my detangler, i use pantene and comb through. At this point I have no tangles and add my leave in. I use a tiny bit of aveda elixir or salerm.
I then lightly apply oil. I usually use jojoba or camelia oil.
I set my hair with water. ( thanks http://healthytextures.typepad.com/) for the dvd tutorial.
i go under the dryer for about 1 hour and tie a silk scarf over my hair for bed. I apply a little oil to the ends and put satin covered foam rollers that I got ( goody brand) .
In the morning take the rollers out and lightly comb and clip up with a claw clip.
I use protien every 6- 8 weeks. I use aphogee 2 min. My hair does not like too much protien.
Thanks!
Alia.

Yay Alia, breathtakingly beautiful. I am so glad your dedication paid off. Two questions:

1) Is this your maintenance length (are you growing longer?)?
2) How often do you trim? (if you trim)
