Carolyn's Hair Length Retention Routine!

Once a month...

Step 1) Wash hair with a gentle shampoo that will not dry the hair. I like Curls Cleansing Creme,a shampoo bar make work too. I also like Carol's daughter. If using a commerical shampoo dillute with water and appply olive oil to the hair before washing. Applying oil is a good idea anyway.

Step 2)Apply a thick creamy leave in conditioner to hair and detangle hair gently with a wide tooth comb in small sections. I like Knot today, Carol's Daughter and my own aloe juice and vegetable gylerin spray with water.

Step 3) Style hair in low-manipulation style (mini twist for short hair, box-braids or medium sized twist for longer hair. May also apply extensions on short hair, just be real gentle!)

Step 4) Sleep with a satin bonet nightly and leave your hair alone! Do not apply any oils or products to your hair, pretend they are sister locks and leave them alone! Leave the style in for one month.

Step 5) Very gently remove braids or twist and pre treat hair with olive oil, wash and restyle hair for the next month!
