The Coily Queen Regimen

By
I came across the coily queen regimen when I was surfing for information on how to keep 4c natural hair moisturized for long periods. As part of my non conservative attitude towards my hair, I'm going to do a few hair regimens to help with moisture as I mentioned in my  6 months post big chop Video.
The basic requirements of the coily queen regimen is to shampoo twice a week, deep condition twice a week, apply leave in conditioner daily for 3 weeks, daily scalp oiling and massaging.

You can find out more here.
This is the regimen for September (we are about 15 people trying it) and at the end, I'll share my verdict. The aim is to increase moisture in the hair, reduce tangles and single strand knots.
If you'd like to join this test drive, just follow the instructions or steps as listed by coily queen.
The sheamoisture yucca and baobab shampoo will be used, kinky Curly knot leave in, body butter coil crown deep conditioner, grape seed oil, Jane Carter Solution Nourish and Shine For Dry Hair and jbco mix for pre shampoo treatment.
I may take away or add products as time goes on.
I'm currently in cornrows but I'll use this to see how my hair will respond to being washed in that state. My first wash will surely be this Thursday.
