Products I am Using Right Now

Well, here goes the list:
When I was Shampooing I was using:
Creme of Nature Ultra Moisturizing Shampoo (Kiwi Citrus)
Conditioners:
Organix Coconut Milk Conditioner (LOVE)
Herbal Essences Hello Hydration
Herbal Essences None Of Your Frizziness
Just Received Oyin Handmade Honey Hemp Conditioner
Cantu Shea Butter LeaveIn Repair Conditioner (LOVE LOVE LOVE)
Infusium 23 Original Formula (Leave In)
Moisture and Style:
Shea Butter
Oyin Handmade Burnt Sugar Pomade
Miss Jessies Curly Buttercreme
Mixture (Water, Olive Oil, Jojoba Oil, Coconut Oil, Lavender (for scent), in spray bottle)

It is late but next time I will try to say how and when I use them but I think it is self explanatory. I Co-wash once and then on second co-wash I detangle. I then rinse, apply infusium 23 and Cantu leave in and sometimes Shea Butter and style.  I use the other styling products to touch up for shine and smell during the 1-2 week wear period.

Will be checking out other people for styles because as you can see from the posts I wear a lot of twist outs and variations of it since I am just learning to flat twist, braid etc.  till next time, good night, good morning lol

More Twists

Hi There, how about I tried to cornrow the front of my hair and ended up finishing with Flat Twists. I am learning to cornrow but the "tutorial" that says try it on someone else first is right lol. Anyway, I had promised to place my hair regimen as I go along and here it goes:
Co-Wash (just Started) every one to two weeks
I wash in large twists as my hair is too thick and hard to handle otherwise
Co-wash once (shampoo)
Co-wash to detangle each twist and then put them back in
Rinse
Spray Leave In
Apply leave in Conditioner
Style
Let Air Dry

Tomorrow night I will post the products I use right now. I am what one would call a product junkie trapped in a frugal woman's body. I only purchase the products that have been researched and reviewed by other respected natural women seen on their hair diaries on youtube and spoken to via email or phone or face to face etc. I will attempt to list for you all that I have and definitely my loves (mmuh) at this point. If you can sense the excitement in my voice, it is because even though I am the busiest (wish I had a better word for that) i have been in my life with a husband and young family etc. I am the happiest I have been ever with my natural hair. This by the way just came about since June 1st if I had to pick a date. Love to all, signing off for tonight.......

Let me know if these pics are too small as I am still experimenting with the size for functionality.

P.S. My pictures for the twists would not upload so I will put them in another post, yikes, I apologize
