So today, it occured to me, that I don't even have a regimen! So I guess I'll try this until the end of the year and see how that works out for me.
Once a Week:
Prepoo- Dr. Miracles Stimulating Grow Oil and Conditioner of choice
Shampoo- Shampoo of choice [usually Garnier Fructis]
Deep Condition 30 minutes with heat- ORS Replenishing Pack
Rollerset and wrap for rest of week.
I will be using direct heat occasionally, for instance, around the 15th .. the weekend before my birthday .. around the 23rd the weekend before Christmas and around the 2nd of January .. right before I go back to school so I can show them what a Philly wrap looks like.
I'm considering not participating in the HYH challenge next year .. I guess we'll see.
Because someone on the forum [I think it was HoneyDew] said that we should get used to taking care of our own hair instead of adding extensions and this is a problem for me.
So, like I said, I guess we'll see.

Frizz ..
Ugghhhh this morning .. when I went to leave for school, it was INCREDIBLY foggy .. but when my old hairdresser used to do my wraps, it wouldn't really be affected by humidity. Well, this was soooo not the case. The whole left side puffed up and I had to flatiron when I got home. I will def. have a scarf tomorrow.

Rollerwrapsz <333
Okay, so because I'm a freak .. I washed my hair .. [rollerset and all] and redid .. sat under that uncomfortable ass dryed .. actually, kneeled on the bathroom floor because that was the only available reset plug [dad .. :/] and umm .. took the rollers out too soon .. so cowashed .. and all that jazz .. and reset again .. but sat there for about 1h40min .. and took down .. wrapped .. and am about to take the wrap down so Be right back.
ETA: So luscious .. so bouncy .. so full .. I love how it feathers on its own .. Definitely going to be a weekly thing for me.

I Love Rollersetting
I'll post pics as soon as I can .. my brothers not here so I can't use his sidekick.
But um, last night I ended up blowdrying.
Today, I cowashed with VO5 Strawberries and Cream ..squeezed some of the excess water out .. then put in a little Profectiv BreakFree [pink cream] Leave-In Strengthener .. and a dab of Biosilk Silk Therapy .. rollerset .. MacherieAmour style [as of her written tutorial] and dried .. for about an 1.30mins .. took down, finger combed, brushed the bangs straight .. then pincurled for the night.
I loved how soft, shiny and bouncy it was .. and the way the bangs looked, I'll probably wrap it later in the week.
But for now its a low-manipulation, protective [tight curls don't reach my shoulder yet] style ..
Love it though. Definitely will be a weekly thing.
Post pics soon.

Update ..
DeepConditiong with an ORS pack as we speak .. I might try my hand at roller-setting again. Last time I didn't finish, and before that I didn't let it fully dry.
I did 3 sets of pincurls myself, they get better every time ! I just don't know how to do them without having to run a warm flatiron over before rolling and pinning.
Well, I'm about to go rinse this out. I'll post back later if not tomorrow with the results of my rollerset.

Wearing My Hair Out ..
2 days .. and already got in a fight at school over it. Not to mention, girls running their fingers along my scalp checking for tracks ?! I don't think its long .. [not even APL ..] but even so .. its not an unbelievable length ?
Girls grabbing the ends, combing it, playing in it all in addition to it rubbing against my clothes, has already .. made a noticable difference to my ends .. :[
Its in a bun for now, but yesterday I washed, wetwrapped[didnt let it COMPLETELY DRY] flatironed, and saranwrapped .. it just wasn't looking fantastic.
I don't wanna put anymore heat on it until I have to [next Monday when I go back to school] but .. I kinda have a date with someone .. Saturday :[
So .. choices ..
And oh yeah, I got some magnetic rollers .. BUT NO CLIPS ! [to hold them in place]
Boo .. :[
Not sure what I'm doing yet ..

Update ! November 07 ..


Comparison Pics .. they kinda suck though :/ Itsz like .. March, April Mayish .. vs. November
But umm .. anyways, I used ORS Olive Oil Normal Relaxer No-Lye ..
And Crystal rollerset, then flatironed, saran wrapped, and then sat me back up under the dryer. It turned out very nice, although, she did overlap [It didn't kill me I guess since my last perm was underprocesssed anyway] so I think the next time I relax it'll probably be in March and I might try my hand at self-relaxing.
Oh yeah, she gave me her dryer .. it's not a sit down one, you have to set it on something but I love it ! Now I have to learn how to rollerset ...
