That's a lot of products for me, but if it's keeping your hair healthy and you like it, don't worry about what we think.

If you're considering starting this regimen, I can't say if it will work or not...but it looks like it should.

Well...tell us how you keep up with this.  It is alot of products but I see you try to retain moisture which is good. However, I feel that if you are going to use this many products than you need to clarify more than once a month. You may get build in either your hair or on your scalp which could cause itching.

I have EXTREMELY dry scalp, hence why I use so many products, especially to moisturize.  How often do you recommend that I use a clarifying shampoo? What do you recommend that I cut out?

I think your regimen looks good.  I don't see anything wrong with all the products, probably because I use a lot myself and I'm pretty sure you're not using them all at the same time anyway.  I would clarify twice a month since you are using various moisturizers as well as MTG.  The only thing that I would like to add would be to deep condition more than every six weeks.  I would dc at least every two weeks.  I try to do protein treatments once a month and deep condition twice.

That sure does looks like a lot of products but again if it works for you, by all means keep doing it.  Also give a product a chance for it to work.  Most products don't give instant results, depending on the state of the hair.

I would say clarify 2 times a month... if once a month is working for you than go ahead and continue it.

Thanks for all the input guys, I greatly appreciate it.  Clarifying 2x a month seems to be the general concensus, so I'll try it and see if my products work even better.
