Revised Regimen with details

I was asked to give a detailed schedule of my regimen. So, here it is. I hope that it is understandable.


SHAMPOO DAY (every alternating week from CO WASH DAY)
- I rinse my entire head of warm/hot water with no product. By doing this, I preparing my scalp for effective cleansing.
- I apply my diluted shampoo (2 TBS shampoo/1 cup water mixture) directly to my scalp, massage, rinse and repeat.

- I apply my DC (cholestrol conditioner or light protein conditioner or water based moisturizing conditioner). I leave this on anywhere between 1 hour to 4 hours and rinse with cool water.
- I t-shirt dry my hair until it is anywhere between 50-80% dry.

*Products tend to vary due availability in stores


One thing people should know is that I do not put my hair on a schedule. I only wash my hair once a week. Washing my hair more than once a week strips my hair, regardless of the amount of moisture I put back into it. I rather work smarter and not harder. Meaning, I rather wash my hair once a week with ease and use less product than wash two or more a week, apply additional product in my hair while it is costing me more time. Others may wash their hair more than once a week, but my hair thanks me for only washing once a week. Isn't the purpose of a HHJ is learn to listen to what your hair is saying and adjust accordingly? Well, that is what I have taken from this experience.

I hope this is more clarifying. Thanks for reading.
