OUR ROUTINES

Saturday, July 7, 2012 was my first day doing the CG method. So this is what works for me right now.

I wash and style my hair on Saturdays


  • Co-wash with As I am Coconut Co-Wash
  • Detangle with Tresemme Naturals Nourishing Conditioner
  • Deep condition once a week with Yes to Blueberries Healthy Hair Repair
  • I steam with the deep conditioner in my hair with the Huetiful Steamer 
  • I then apply my leave in conditioner (Paul Mitchell The Conditioner or Kinky Curly Knot Today)
  • I use Eco Styler clear gel to style (Eco Styler is the only gel I have used since being natural. I have tried the Krystal, Olive Oil & the Argan Oil versions) 


Note: since I work out alot, I DO wash with a sulfate free shampoo (once a month or as needed). 
My faves are:
Kinky Curly Come Clean
Mixed Chicks Sulfate Free Shampoo 
Aubrey Honeysuckle Rose Shampoo

Also, I do use Kinky Curly Knot Today as a leave in and Kinky Curly Curling Custard as my styler when I am doing a wash and go with Kinky Curly products (as Kinky Curly products do NOT mix well with other products)






My girls  C & M
  

-I currently wash their hair and deep condition once a week (usually Saturday)

-I detangle with Tresemme Naturals Nourishing Moisture Conditioner

-After detangling with my fingers and a wide tooth comb (if needed), I apply leave in conditioner 

-I moisturize their hair then style

(I will be braiding T's hair more often so that it can grow.)







I do styles like this on T which can last two weeks or more (because I get crazy busy sometimes)






I band C's hair like this to keep it detangled.  She likes it like this because she likes the colors




When either girl wears her curls out I will use either Kinky Curly Curling Custard or Eco Styler Gel on her hair.  (Preferably Eco Styler because it is less messy and less expensive)

Products used:
Mixed Chicks Sulfate Free Shampoo or Kinky Curly Come Clean
Tresemme Naturals Nourishing Moisture Conditioner
Mixed Chicks Deep Conditioner
Paul Mitchell the Conditioner or Kinky-Curly Knot today as leave in (mixed with coconut oil)
Design Essentials Daily Moisturizing Lotion
Kinky Curly Curling Custard or Eco Styler Gel


NOTE: I get my style inspirations from Beads, Braids and Beyond because I am just learning how to braid and because I am not artistic enough to come up with styles on my own.  (my mom is incredible at braiding but I didn't inherit that gene from her. LOL)
