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. ------------- Hair type: who knows? Length: 23 inches as of 3/10/06 MY HAIR IS OFFICIALLY BRA STRAP LENGTH!! Goal: Waist Length, which is only 30 inches so ADVISE ME ON HOW TO GET JUST 7 MORE INCHES OF GROWTH! |

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. ------------- Natural BC May 9, 2004 |

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? ------------- Natural since March 2006 No "heat" challenge for Winter 08-09 public.fotki.com/Vanity3 keepitsimplesista.ning.com/profile/Vanity1920 |

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. ------------- Natural BC May 9, 2004 |

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. ------------- Natural since March 2006 No "heat" challenge for Winter 08-09 public.fotki.com/Vanity3 keepitsimplesista.ning.com/profile/Vanity1920 |
