Regimen for my Natural Hair with a few of my staples added. I don't have a staple leave-in, moisturizing style product or deep conditioner just yet.
First week
1. Hot oil treatment with a mix of coconut oil, Vitamin E oil and castor oil. Sit under conditioning cap for 45mins to an hour.
2. Rinse hair thoroughly with warm water
3. Co-wash with As I Am Co-Wash
4. LOC method which is Liquid, Oil, Creme: I use water as my liquid seal it in with argan oil and apply a creamy textured leave-in conditioner Karen's Body Beautiful Leave-In.
5. Detangle, Moisturize and Twist with Shea Butter mix
Second Week
1. Shampoo once with Shea Moisture Moisture Retention Shampoo
2. Deep condition with a moisture based conditioner with heat for 45mins to an hour....at max I've done overnight.
3. Detangle with Hello Hydration Moisturizing Conditioner
4. Rinse with cool water
5. LOC method: Liquid is water based leave-in, Argan Oil, Creme based moisturizing styling product Cantu Shea Butter Curling Cream.
Third Week repeat Week One
Fourth Week is same as Second Week but I add in a ACV rinse and maybe a protein-based DC.
This was my regimen when I was relaxed:
Regardless if I switch up products--it will always be pre-poo for 45, wash w/moisturizing shampoo & a DC mix, in that order.
