NAME (ALIAS): DajoStar LAST RELAXER: Mar 2007 LENGTH OF TRANSITION: approx 3 months DATE OF BC: 14 July 2007 FAVORITE STYLE: Afro CURRENT ROUTINE: Shampoo bi-weekly (Qhemet Biologics’s Egyptian Wheatgrass Tea); deep condition monthly (Organic Root Stimulator Olive Pak); wear twists/braids during the week (using Alma & Olive Heavy Cream w/either Olive & Honey Hydrating Balm or Honeybush Tea Soft Hold Gel); and twist-/braid-outs or afros on the weekends. However, in preparation for the summer, for the last month I’ve kept the protective styles throughout the weekends. While Qhemet products work best for me, CANTU’s Shea Butter Leave-In is great for detangling.
