This is my hair routine can you tell me if something is wrong with it. First of all I have African American hair but it is relaxed but not bone straight. It's like tiny waves. I have a whole lot of hair and it puffs out if I let it airdry loose. First I wash my scalp with T-Gel. Next I shampoo my hair with matrix sleek.look followed by matrix sleek.look conditioner. Once a week I deep condition with Dark & Lovely Ultra Cholesterol (it's yellow). On my soaking wet hair I apply john frieda's frizz ease hair serum. I comb it out a bit and put matrix sleek.look hair creme. Then I let it dry a little bit and put john frieda's wind down creme for relaxed hair. And comb it out all the way. Let it dry a tiny bit more and put it in a bun. When it's dry I put breakthru moisturizing stuff on it and style it (usually just a ponytail or braids). ------------- Type: 3c/4a Natural Current Length: 6" Goal: Healthy, tip of nose /neck/shoulder length hair.

Your routine sounds fine, except maybe the amount of product you put on it.. I see at least three different ones listed that actually stay on the hair. but as long as you clarify every week or so, and use the right grooming tools, and hair friendly accessories, etc.... etc.. you should be okay.

Do you know of a good clarifying shampoo? I keep trying to find one in the product finder section but they have it closed. ------------- Type: 3c/4a Natural Current Length: 6" Goal: Healthy, tip of nose /neck/shoulder length hair. BC: 02/08/06 |

Suave has a clarifier and it's the only one I can think of, but I'm not sure how effective it is. I clarify with a vinegar rinse... take 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar and put it in a 20 oz bottle. Fill the rest with tap water. Pour it through your hair and on your scalp, after shampooing and before conditioning. It shouldn't leave a smell because you condition afterwards.

What about Herbal Essences do you know if their clarifying shampoo is good? My mom doesn't buy apple cider vinegar. ------------- Type: 3c/4a Natural Current Length: 6" Goal: Healthy, tip of nose /neck/shoulder length hair. BC: 02/08/06 |

I haven't tried their brand. But I do know that the Herbal Essences Clarifying Shampoo has a harsh ingredient listed third on the list (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) so it's actually a lot harsher than ACV. Apple Cider Vinegar is also cheaper. Anais |

My mom told me to just get the Herbal Essences. All the clarifying shampoos at KMart have that harsh ingredient but in Herbal Essences it wasn't listed first like all the others. Are you supposed to use normal shampoo after clarifying? ------------- Type: 3c/4a Natural Current Length: 6" Goal: Healthy, tip of nose /neck/shoulder length hair. BC: 02/08/06 |

If it works for you and you like the results, Herbal Essences is a great line. Smells good. You just condition afterwards, don't shampoo again. |
