Regimen Building for Natural Hair
Natural Hair Regimen
Since I have been showcasing natural styles for the last couple of months, many people have approached me with the questions – “What do you do to your hair?” “What do you put in it?” In short, these inquiries lead to the ultimate question – “Whats a good natural hair regimen?”
There is no magical hair regimen that will be a “one fits all”, however, there are certain things to include in your hair care routine that will be beneficial to your strands, especially when just starting out. Once your hair reaches optimal health, you will find that some of these steps can be significantly “dumbed down” if you will.
I started off with a template (found on bhp forum) similar to the following one and then modified it from there. Again, it is not set in stone; you may modify it to fit your hair needs as I have done.
The template reads like this
What’s needed for Regimen: Frequency
Example Product and/or Description
Clarifier/Shampoo: when needed
Dr. Bronner Pure Castile Magic Soaps, ACV/Baking Soda
Rids product build up
Co-Wash Cheapie Conditioner: 1x/week – daily
Vo5 Moisture Milks
sulfate-free, easier on your strands, cleanses w/o stripping the hair
Moisture Deep Conditioner: weekly
Aussie Moist, ORS Replenish Pak (light protein as well)
replenishes moisture, softens
Protein Conditioner/Treatment: every 4-8 weeks or so
Aphogee 2 Step
strengthens mushy hair, rebuilds keratin in the hair
Water Based Leave In Conditioner/Moisturizer: after washing/conditioning
Cantu Shea butter, Profectiv Healthy Ends, Neutrogena Triple Moisture Silk Touch Leave-in
lighter on the hair than a non-water based one
Oil For Sealing in Moisture: after moisturizing
EVOO, EVCO, Castor Oil
Wide Tooth/Seamless Comb
easier on strands, detangles
Brush
Denman (Highly Recommended)
for detangling
Satin/Silk Scarf or bonnet
for wrapping the hair up, protecting it at night
For those having difficulties with your hair routine, try this one out (or a variation of it) and track your results. I’ll post my regimen with pics in the near future (I know some of you love visuals as much as I do). I hope this helped!
Until Next Time, Happy Healthy Hair Growing!!!

Very helpful.
I decided yesterday that now was just the time to go natural and so I suppose I am clearly in the transitioning stage?
Anyway, I hear that taking care of the different textures is going to be a pain but before I high school I had relaxed hair and all through highschool I wore braids so by the end of the four years, the relaxed part had broken off by itself.
I suppose I’m not very good with my hair – no sort of taking care of it so it’s a good thing my beautician is ON TOP OF MY ASS getting me to try.
Anyways, that was informative so thanks!

You’re welcome for the info, I’m glad it helps! The managing of the two textures will be slightly difficult depending on what styles you are trying to wear. You and your stylist will figure out the best styles for your hair though. Just stay informed and keep reading the blog.
