I have also been taking daily vitamins such as, Vitamin E, Calcium, and Women's One a Day Supplements.  Are there any other supplements I need to take?

I forgot my password, but I would like to say thanks to you both for helping me.
 
The regimen that I have been implementing is as follows:
 
-ORS hair mayo 1X week
-Silk Elements Shampoo and Creme of Nature
-Deep Conditioner 1X week with Doo Goo
-Aphogee Protein conditioner
-no heat
-Dialy moisturizer with Revive and Restore
-WGO every other day
-Kemi Oyl, jojoba oil, and EVOCC to conditioners
-Add egg and honey to conditioners
 
What is the best clarifying shampoo, and how does it help my hair? 
 
This week I plan to get more hair oils (ie. Tea Tree, Carrot oil, and Doo Goo mega thick).  Also, I need to buy Infusium 23 to use as my leave-in conditioner.  Since taking my braids out, I have not gotten a relaxer.  I have been wearing wigs for a month and plan to get a relaxer this weekend.  I would like to know will my hair still be healthy and grow despite me wearing wigs all the time.  Also, can you tell me the best relaxers to use?  I am thinking about getting ORS.

~Shampoo 1X a week
~Deep Condition with a conditioner that says "moisturzing" by sitting with the conditioner
~put a leave in afterwards
~moisturize your hair Daily
~avoid combing (even with wide tooth).
~avoid heat
 
This is the BASIC regimine. There are of course clarifying shampoos and protein treatments that should be used once a month. If you decide to take vitamins than you must incoperate that into  you regimine (idk how vitamins work)

It looks like you have a good list of products but i don't see a deep conditioner, you will need one of those. Examples: cholesterol or lamaur bone marrow.
 
You will also need a good leave-in: such as Infusium 23( safe for daily use on your braids and you can add honey or glycerin and liquid aloe vera to this)
 
You can't repair splits- you have to trim them.
 
You should wash your hair weekly. I am natural so when not in protective syling- i co-wash daily.
 
Daily moisturizers would be like: S-curl spray or a water/glycerin spritz.
 
HTH.

I am new to the site and would like to know how can I create a hair regimen?  Normally, I wear lots of braids but I would like to wear my permed hair out one day without being ashamed of its shortness.

From the site you all have given me valuable information such as the pre-poo treatment, co-washing, and etc.  Now that I have taken my hair out of braids I'm not sure how to build a regimen.  So, far I use the WGO, EVOO, Shea Butter, Creme of Nature Shampoo, and VO5 Condition.  I would like to know:
 
Which products should I be using to promote hair growth?
What is a protein condition and which brand to use?
How to repair split ends?
How often to wash and co-wash?
Which daily moisturizers should I use?
 
My hair type is 4a
 
Thanks in advance for all your help!!
