*UPDATED* Hair Regimen - Decmeber 2011

It's December 2, 2011 and gosh does time fly! I realized that I've neglected this blog but a lot has happened. So with that being said this is my current permanent hair regimen. It took a lot of trial and error but i've found what works for ME and i'm sticking to it.



Deep Conditioner 
Aubrey Organic GPB Glycogen Protein Balancing Conditioner. 
I apply this to dry hair unless I have a lot of build up which in that case I wash and then deep condition. 9 times out of 10 I use the Huetiful Hair Steamer for 20 minutes. If i'm traveling or too busy to sit under the steamer I put a shower cap on and go about my business until I have time to wash later.

Shampoo
Miss Jessie's  Super Slip Sudsy Shampoo.
WARNING!! If you're a sulfate free nazi this is NOT for you. Personally I have tried several sulfate free shampoos. They leave my hair dry and they make it harder to minipulate my hair (which in my opinion can cause damage) This shampoo allows me to easily wash my hair and it doesn't feel dry. A little goes a long way and I only wash once and in one direction.

Conditioner
Herbal Essences Color Me Happy Conditioner.
Having color treated hair I like to use a conditioner geared toward my colored hair needs. This one leaves my hair soft and shiny. I have dry hair and use a lot of conditioner so another good point on this conditioner is that it affordable at under $3 a bottle. They also sell a larger size. Don't have colored hair? I recommend the Hello Hydration Conditioner.

If I need to wash before one week I will usually opt to co-wash and I will do so with on of the Herbal Essence conditioners - Color Me Happy, Hello Hydration or Tousle Me Softly.

Other things i'll do to my tresses:
I do my own at home "oil infusion" I use a mixture of olive oil and pure argan oil and apply it to my hair then I apply conditioner on top of that and sit up under my hooded dryer and wash as usual.

I do protien treatments AS NEEDED. You hair will tell you what it needs. I use the Aphogee 2 step protien treatment and also I use the minute reconstructor from time to time as I see fit. 

That's it and that's all folks!
