This is my typical, ideal, natural hair regimen. It may differ a little depending on the season or if I have a protective style. Everybody’s different so what works for me may not be right for you. This is what I do to achieve optimal hair health. See Products I Love for recipes and specifics on what I use in my regimen.
Daily
- Morning- moisturize & seal, style appropriately
- Night- moisturize & seal, pineapple with satin scarf, cover top puff with plastic cap, and top with a satin bonnet
- I may moisturize by leaving my hair uncovered in shower, with my DIY leave-in, or just a little conditioner.
- I typically seal with olive oil, coconut oil, or Shea butter in dry wintry months.
Weekly
- Co-wash with a silicone free conditioner & seal with one of the above oils
- in the summer I may do this multiple times a week with wash & go styles.
Monthly/Bi-Weekly
- Hot oil treatment, usually with EVOO
- Shampoo with sulfate free product
- Deep condition for at least 30 minutes, add heat if possible
- During the dry winter months I do this Bi-weekly
Quarterly/Bi-Yearly- Trim dead ends
Every 1-2 Years- straighten for length check
