Colour Treated and Moisturized

My kinky, coily  hair has never felt more moisturised. I was worried about retaining moisture in this newly coloured hair, but now, I'm very happy with the moisture level in my hair. Keep reading to find out how I have retained moisture and reduced breakage with my kinky curly "natural" hair.


A few things have changed in my regimen. I no longer use clarifying shampoos and am trying a number of new products as I go along. Here are the products I used this week (new items highlighted):


Shampoo: Creme of Nature Detangling Shampoo – weekly
Conditioner: Suave Humectant – twice a week
Deep Condition: Queen Helene Cholesterol – weekly
Protein/Water Spritz: Water with Infusium 23 added (leave-in protein treatment) – daily
Moisture Treatment (Leave-In): Raw Shea butter with Olive Oil/Coconut Oil mixed – almost daily
Moisture Sealant: Africa's Best Ultimate Herbal Oil – daily
Non–Moisture Treatment Day: African Royale Braids Spray (which is followed by the oil)

For my daily routine, I always apply things in this order:
  1. spritz water
  2. moisture treatment  or  African Royale Braids Spray
  3. oil
So far, I have little to no breakage and my hair has never been more manageable. 

Christmas is coming and I will be needing a break from the daily styling of my hair. I can't decide whether to get extensions put in and try to keep them till the end of January OR I could just get my own hair twisted up every two weeks - which is actually more expensive. What do you think?

  1. Nice regimen! I may give the water mix a try or add some of my Ag conditioning mix to my water it contains protein.

  2. Hey Nicki. Let me know how it goes. Make sure you seal in the moisture after though since protein can make your hair hard and almost brittle. I like the protein moisture combination because it's creates the right balance for my hair.

  3. nice routine, the spritz is a great way to give your hair the protein it needs. As for braids and twists, the holiday season can sometimes get hectic so I would opt for the extensions plus they are more economical:)

  4. Hey Expanding Beauty. I eventually opted for temp locs. I say temp because they are started with plaits and, knowing me, won't last very long.lol.
