Hair Regime Planning

By: Elizacoe

A good hair regime is needed if your are interested in caring for your hair. Coming up with a hair care regime that works for you is a vital basic for hair health and maintenance. What is a hair regime you ask? It is a consistent pattern that you follow, whether it is the number of times per month you wash your hair to what products you use.

What should it consist of?

  • At least 1 wash per week

  • Hair vitamins/multi vitamin

  • product hair combinations that works for you





When planning a hair care regime it is very important that you follow a consistent regime. Taking care of black hair is hard, it's more fragile, delicate, and usually more porous then other types of hair. Many people have misconceptions about black hair that hinder their growth and styling options.

Due to the nature of black hair being naturally dry it is important to wash at least once a week and clarify at least 2x a month to prevent product build up. A light moisturizer should be used daily.

I can not stress the important of hair vitamins. Take them! Vitamins should be added as an important part of any hair care regime. They provide strength that frequently styled hair needs.

Most people complain the hardest part of following a hair regime is coming up with that "perfect" hair product combination. First off, let me say there is no perfect combination but there should be at least a couple of products from each category of shampoos, conditioners, moisturizers and treatments that consider your staples. A staple is a product that you know works well with your hair

Steps to figuring out your regime.

  • Start doing your hair yourself! take your hair care into your own hands. No one knows your hair better then you do

  • Experiment! Experiment! Experiment! you may not have a big budget but start off by buying a few quality products. Not all quality products cost an arm and a leg. One of the shampoos I find very good for detangling is Cream of Nature which cost under $3

  • Rotate your products to find out which combinations works well and are compatible with each other.

  • Stick with the products that work and toss the rest

  • Keep an open mind. Even though you may love a certain conditioner don't be afraid to experiment every now and then. With technology advances better products do come out on the market.
