*My Healthy Hair Journey*: Last Wash Day of the Year

Regimen + Goals

My Hair Regimen: I moisturize and/or oil my hair daily. As needed (usually weekly) I cleanse my hair and scalp with a moisturizing shampoo (or a clarifying one if there's build up). I do a moisturizing OR protein treatment with every shampoo. I stretch my relaxers 3-4 months.

My go-to protective/low manipulation styles: buns, braid-outs and halfwigs. In 2012 I want to start experimenting with more heat-free styles. I air dry most of the time and flat iron for length checks only.

I'm currently midback length (MBL) and actively working towards reaching waist length by my graduation in mid-2012.

Deep conditioning bun with KeraCare Humecto mixed with EVOO

Here's what I did for the last wash of 2011:

Pre-pooed with Jamaican Black Castor Oil
Shampooed twice (Quantum Clarifying shampoo then Dove Intensive Repair Shampoo)
Protein treatment with Aphogee 2 Minute
Deep conditioned for 45 mins with Keracare Humecto and Extra Virgin Olive Oil under the dryer. The Humecto in the tub is definitely thicker than the one in the bottle. I don't usually follow Aphogee 2 Minute with a moisturizing DC but my hair is feeling extra dry
Leave-in Aphogee Green Tea Restructurizer and go under the dryer
