I'm now 1yr. 1 month, I have been looking at YouTube and seeking the best routine fot my curl pattern and hair type. Mahogany Curls is who I identified with. When I Big Chopped I was following the Curly Girl Method. Again, I mostly follow it.
Mahogany Curls washes once a week, Well for me it depends. I normally wash about every two weeks, my hair will maintain a "wash-n- go" for a about a week and a half. I "co-wash" with Tresemme Naturals, like Mahogany Curls, and I was using Paul Mitchell (The Conditioner) as my leave in. Now I will use a curl cream and Eco Styling Gel. I find tha curl cream leaves my hair a bit softer. To maintain my curls I use a oil water mix moisturizing spray, everyday. It is really easy, I'll share my recipe in a future Blog. Mahogany Curls doesn't use any oils, but I do. I use a mix of different essential oils. My scalp gets dry sometime.
I deep condition twice a month. I have added color to my hair and have take extra care of it. I will typically mix my deep conditioner also, by using either Mayonnaise or Avacado has a base. Leave it on my hair for at least 45 minutes under a plastic shower cap. Deep conditioning is a great rejuvenation for my hair.
Well Curlfriends, I just wanted to share what my Curly Girl routine. I'm still experimenting and reserching, but so far so good. My goal is to not have a cabinet full of products. I am not using all 100% all natural products, but a mixture. Remember Kurlies, you should try different regimens and see what works for you.
