My hair definitely responds best with a regimen. I had a very strict regimen my first two years of college. I was like clock work... and always DCed once a week for at least 30 minutes. I slacked a lot this past year at school because I gained a lot of length and didn't think i needed to baby my hair anymore... man was I wrong... I have now gone back to my old regimen!
Wow thanks for sharing. I guess its key to stick to your regimen at all times. I completely understand that since your hair is longer/growing you may not need to care for it that much, but sometimes we forget and its important to maintain and be consistant. Thanks for the reminder. =]
Question, when you deep condition with castor oil and olive oil (which are sealants), do you moisturize after rinsing it out? I was wondering does the Castor/Olive Oil block off the moisturizer or does it basically get rinsed out?
I was thinking off deep conditioning with Queen Helen's Cholesterol Hot Oil Treatment, Honey, and Olive Oil..sounds ok?
You're not supposed to wash out the oils. It seals in moisture. You dont wash it out. It stays on your ends. moisturizer-->seal w/oil
Mane N Tail Deep Moisturizing shampoo doesn't have DMDM hydantoin, but it has Dimethicone
Hey bee.. I figured, but people DC under heat with some of these oils & conditioner.. don't they rinse it after (same thing with their prepoo)? I just thought they did rinse and afterwards apply moisturizer, and seal again
@ Juana4ev - Hey girl! I deep condition with these oils to lubricate my ends and make them soft. Yes, they can be used as sealents as well. Cathy Howse states that oils are essential for relaxed hair in order to lubricate the dead ends. Its also a hot oil treatment w/ a deep condition in one! I don't notice any moisture bloackage after rinsing out the deep conditioner. My hair feels great.
The Queen Helene Oil treatment with Honey & EVOO sounds great. Let me know how that goes for you.
@ Bee - There is nothing wrong with adding oils to your deep conditioner. It adds more conditioning benefits for your hair. Try it out, you may like it :-)
Thanks... I'll go switch my regime around now. Got a bottle of Castor Oil and wondered what to do with it besides using it on my lashes. It just seems so thick to me and they say oil/water doesn't mix but since you put it that way, it should be fine
Wow! Airdry 99% of the time? ...meaning no rollersets? How long does your hair take to dry?
I would love such low manipulation but my hair would take forever to dry and doesn't seem to do well with wet ponies too often.
@ Ms.S - Yup! I air dry all the time. Its been the best thing for my hair. I like damp buns and it seems to be working for me. My hair takes about 2-3 hrs to dry. Sometimes I dont wait that long so i'll just bun it! Any other manipulation leads to breakage for me.
I have found that the go-with-the flow is what has worked best for me. Ever since I started trying create a regimen my hair has been suffering.
In my pics you can see a huge difference in my hair now and my hair before I started trying to "take care of it"
Thats a first. Thanks for responding. Its a good thing that you know how to care for your hair and what it likes best.
I love learning from other people's regimens. My problem is consistancy. I'll get going real good for a few months and then get lazy and stop wearing my scarf at night, and not wash/condition as often...next thing you know my hair is falling all over the bathroom floor.
I'm still learning to balance moisture and protein.
Two good things I do are stretching my relaxer times to every 10 weeks, and use very little heat (only after relaxer).
I'm curious about EVCO, and Castor Oil. Looks like I need to go to the store. :)
I'm new to all this, so for now I'm trying to stick to a regimen. But I do try to listen to my hair to see what it needs. I must ask though hw do you get your hair so shiny? It's beautiful.
hello i am new to this. i was wondering if you could help me. your hair is so beautiful. i wish that i could have hair like that.i just recently got married and my husband says that i am beautiful.. but when i look in the mirror and at my hair that is not what i see. i am so close to tears. Please could anyone who has any good tips lend me your knowledge. i do use the organic root stimulator olive oil shampoo and then i use the olive oil replenish pak conditioner, i leave it on for 30 mins. and then i use the soy oil for my scalp. i do drink alot of water. i dont know some of the the terms listed in your the products that you use like....prepoo, EVCO,EVOO, or what a sealant is.i get a relaxer every 8 weeks . i know that i may sound dumb but i really dont know how to take care of my hair.sid you have to buy all of those products.what does only baggy when ends are dry mean? so rry for being a pain. im just looking for any help that i can get. i know beauty starts within id also like to feel beautiful outside aswell.
thanks

Hi Shortydee,
Congrats on the new marriage!! You are extremely blessed to have a husband that values who you are on the inside. The outside is sooo easy to transform. I know we as blk women tend to not know how to deal with our hair, but its our responsibility. The products that you use are pretty good.
I know it can be very overwhelming, but its all worth it in the end. I would recommend going to this site:
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/288340/hair_regimen_building_for_newbies.html?cat=69
It has helped me a lot. As for the acrynoms, I have a FAQ/Hair Lingo Link at the top of my blog that should be able to clarify those terms (EVCO, EVOO, BAGGY) for you. I did A LOT of research and its helped.
If you need anymore help, just email me: hairliciousness@gmail.com
MsDeety, its good that your stretching your relaxers. Thats important. I would recommend that you make goals so that your stay on track. For me, I stay on track by checking out blogs, forums, talking to my sis about hair etc. Trust me, your hair will thank you for it :-)
hi sunshine!!!!!
thank you so much for your advice and the website. my husband supports me in helping my hair grow even though he loves me as i am.im just trying to get a hold of avacado and coconut oil.its hard to find because i live in the uk and there's not much for afrian american hair.i do find hair supplies on line though. wish me luck. and ill keep you posted!!!!!!
dob't you have to straighten your hair after u deep condition it ?
@ Shorty - Your Welcome!!You may be able to find Avacado & coconut oil at your local grocery store or in an organic food store. Try those places. I wish you all the best on your new hair journey :-)
@ Anonymous - Nope. I (as well as many other ladies) just air dry either in braids, twists, or let it hang down. Its a personal choice of mine.
hey sunshyne
quick question: I have naturally LONG, thick hair (i'm east african). The problem I have is my hair gets so tangled and I end up spending an hour or more in the shower. Not to mention, all the breakage that happens while am trying to detangle my hair. I have a lot of problems with my hair and I'm hoping you can help:
1. My sides are thinning out! Its horrible. I have this full lengthy hair in the back but balding on the sides. Please help.
2. BREAKAGE! My lengthy hair is breaking with every touch. What happen was...Awhile back, I relaxed my hair and not even a week later, I went to a rookie hair stylist to give me a deep conditioning treatment. Long story short, that was the end of my healthy hair. She talked me into getting highlights and she left the bleach on too long! My hair has been falling out ever since.
I havent really tried anything (products) and I have really abandoned my hair.
Any who, if you can give a short list of the ESSENTIAL things to start out with heavily damaged hair, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
@ Anonymous - Hey girl, Im so sorry to hear that your hair is acting up. Rest assured it can be fix and nursed back to health. Since your hair is so long and it tends to get tangles, I would recommend parting your hair in sections, braid it and then wash your scalp. This should help a lot in reducing the tangles and breakage.
Since your are relaxed and color treated you REALLY have to be gentle with your hair and make sure you have a moisture/protein balanced regimen.
I recommend:
1 Moisturizing Shampoo (No Sulfates) i.e. Creme of Nature Detangling Shampoo (red label or green & white label)
1 Mositurizing Deep Conditioner i.e. Creme of Nature Nourishing Conditioner, Abba Pure Color Protect, Keracare humecto, Kenra Moisturizing Conditioner, Silk Elements MegaSilk cholesterol
1 Protein conditioner to give strength to the hair i.e. ApHogee 2 mins reconstructor, 1 egg + conditoner + Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Motions CPR treatment etc.
1 Leave-in Conditioner i.e. Elasta Qp HTWO leave-in, Neutrogena Triple Moisture Silk Touch leave-in creme, a cheap moisturizing conditoner with water, Infusium Moisturology etc.
1 Moisturizer i.e. Silk Elements Silken Child Moisturizer, Wave Nouveau Finishing Lotion, Shea Butter, S-Curl No Drip Activator, or Glycerin and water
1 Natural Oil i.e Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Safflower Oil, Hot Six Oil, Castor oil.
I would suggest you wash and deep condition with heat every 3 days. Use your leave-in conditioners after every deep condition. Mositurize your hair 2x/day and seal in the moisture with a natural oil listed above. One time per month, use your protein conditioner for 15-20mins then follow up with your moisturizing deep treatment.
Remember chemically treated hair is very dry, it needs a lot of moisture.
If you hav anymore questions, pls feel free to email me hairliciousness@gmail.com
Hi Sunshyne!
Your site is amazing! First of all I would just like to thank you for giving me inspiration to grow my hair long! I have some questions:
1)when you bun and airdry, do you ever get knots in your hair? I would like to airdry that way.
2)Also, Since my hair at this point is just grazing SL I have been added a weave piece inside my bun to help it look fuller, will that damage my ends? How did you protective style when your hair was SL?
3) How often do you trim?
4) Is it best to not directly moisturize your scalp? I use to daily moisturize my scalp and ends, but I found my hair wasn't really growing at the rate it should have been so I stopped, but now I am worried my scalp will be dry... suggestions?
Thank you soooo much!
Hi Luvleday,
Thanks so much for visiting!! The only time I get knots is when I don't detangle. When I air dry and bun, this does not create tangles. Its a great way to give the hair a rest and retain moisture.
The weave piece is ok, as long as its not drying out your hair/ends at the same time. Wet/moisturize the weave hair (not soaking, but just dampen it) and then add it to your bun so that your hair will stay moist. When I was ear length/neck length, my hair was in a weave. Then I took that off and started taking care of my hair when I was shoulder length and damamged.
I used to dust (lightly trim) every other relaxer. Now, I'm dusting my ends with every relaxer.
Well it depends on the moisturizer?! I use Wave Nouveau and I spray it on my scalp and my hair is still growing at a normal rate. I like it when my scalp is moist. If there is any mineral oil or petrolatum in your moisturizer then that could be causing the slow growth.
Hope that helps!! :-)
hi sunshyne i was wondering with moisturizing and sealing the moisture product that you use in wave nouveau finishing lotion and i have 4b hair and that product is known to make your hair moist and soften but i think that will make my hair nappy and thick looking again what would you infer oh yea im 16 and starting early with everything
@ Lasherian - Hey!! I have coarse 4b/c hair and it doesn't make my hair nappy. But you also have to take into consideration that everyone is different. It may work for your or it may not. I wish I could give you a sample just to try it out. There are plenty other moisturizers out there to choose from.
how do you use the egg in your hair?
@ ONIP - For my egg treatment,Please refer to:
http://hairlicious.blogspot.com/2008/08/wash-day-with-new-protein-treatmentan.html
Hello, I found your video in youtube. All I have to say is thank you . My hairtype is around 3 and it is shoulder length. I Started the moister seal thing everyday and it has grown so far 1 1/2 inch. My only problem is that it looks a little thin. Do you have any suggestions on how to make it thicker?
For thicker hair I say:
1. Stretch your relaxers 8-12 weeks
2. Only relax the new growth
3. Do protein treatments
4. Deep Condition often
5. Use Heat less often.
6. Use products with Panthenol
Hope that helps
Sunshyne, you are a genius! I read your blog and I was inspired, but deep down I didn't really think it was gonna work on my hair. The one thing that really stuck out for me after reading your blogs was your point about glycerin softening your regrowth, because my main problem is the breakage I experience once I get to around 4weeks post relaxer. I have 4c hair and the texture of my natural hair is so different from the relaxed hair so it causes even more tension at the point of demarcation than other hair types, so although my hair grows at a fairly quick rate, breakage has always been my downfall. Another thing is that I'm from Ghana - as in I'm not mixed in anyway, so in all honesty even though I see the girls on LHCF with long hair (i signed last August) I've always thought it was because they were slightly mixed - as african americans generally are to some degree and therefore I figured their hair had more potential to grow longer than mine because their hair has the added strength that European or Asian hair has. Anyway I bought the Wave Nouveau daily humectant on Monday (12th Jan)(I made sure I read the ingredients and checked it contained glycerin!) and straight away when I got home and used it I noticed that my regrowth, which is usually course and dry, had completely softened plus the hair at the nape of my neck is always dry no matter how much creme I put on it, but that part has softened too. The length of my hair has slightly increased just from applying the moisturizer because it has given the hair some weight and slightly loosened the tight curls in the regrowth. After I wrapped my hair last night I woke up this morning to find my hair flat and stuck to my head! This never happens esp when I'm 5 weeks post relaxer it's normally a couple of centimetres high from the growth, breakage has reduced significantly - i can tell already,so I'm really pleased! Thank you! - I'm surprised I didn't notice the amazing benefits of this when I had wave nouveau/curly perm as I used the lotion then...
I invested in a steamer and hooded dryer in 2007 so I already have the deep conditioning on lock. I recently started using olive oil in my hair and adding hot oil to my conditioner.
My main problem is putting the hair straightners down. I have a bottom of neck length bob, which looks best when worn sleek and straight with slightly bevelled under edges, I'm generally a ‘wear your hair down’ person so not really into buns, plus I have a fringe (i think americans call them bangs??) which also looks better when straightened with flat irons.
Anyway because of this I can't bring myself to wash my hair more than once a week or every two weeks because it would mean I would end up putting too much heat on my hair, cos my hair won't look good if it dries naturally. Rollers take too long for twice weekly washing and braid outs don't look good on short hair, also I tried a braid out on my wet hair and it just took so long to dry and my hair ended up in knots when I was unbraiding. I might have to try this on dry hair only once my hair gets longer.
I think I will give the air drying a go now that I have my new found wave nouveau product, if it ends up looking better than i thought, then there'll be no stopping my hair growth!!
I'll keep you posted!
@ Drk Chocolate - I'm happy that the glycerin is working for you. I love it. I think if you wash once a week your hair will be fine. However, the frequent use of a flat iron is not always good.
You could flat iron every other week and use flexi rods under a hooded dryer every other week. Once you take out the flexi rods, wrap your hair and then go under the dryer again to make it more smooth & straight with body.
That is an option. Let me know how it goes.
I was interested in knowing more about your Protein Treatment. Is is homemade or store bought? If it's homemade what's the ratio of conditoner (what type) and evoo to the egg?
My protein treatment is homemade. I use 1 egg, 3 tsp of EVOO and 5-6 tsp of protein conditioner.
hi sunshyne
my name is saba and i stumbled across your blog a few days ago and i've been addicted ever since.
Its good to see canadian blogs, especially ones dedicate to healthy relaxed hair.
I am also new to maintaining healthy hair. I recently took out single braids from my hair and it caused great damage to my hair. I permed my hair on Dec 16. I have coarse thick relaxed hair and every time i go to the hair dresser to perm my hair, 2 or so weeks later the perm starts to grow out quickly. my hair dresser says that's the nature of my hair.currently, i wear my hair in a ponytail using kids organic shea butter hair lotion with a little bit og Let's Jam Gel. hwoever, i want to put in cornrow braids due to the weather. so, i have to questions, what should i do with my hair now and do you have any products that i should try out?
Thank You
Hey Sunshine
I found your website and have read it almost in its entirity. I do have a few questions. On Jan. 11, 2009 I cut my then BSL hair length hair 3 inches due to dry brittle ends. My hair types falls in the 3c area. I have not permed since Dec. 2007 and will not perm again.I have since started a strict hair regimen. That includes washing hair once weekly with SE Mega Silk olive shampoo and condition with the Mega silk olve moisturizing treatment condtioner. I do apply the SE leave in cream conditioner after towel drying. I do flat iron my hair weekly using a heat protector. My question is should I continue to apply the Organic Stimulator carrot oil daily or the Do Gro moisturizer to get maxium growth possibility. I would like to see my BSL hair length by the end of May possibily.
Thanks D
Hey Sunshyne,
much thanks for your site, very helpful!! my hair has been going fabulously since finding ur site. I have a lil problem though, wondering if you have any reccommendations.
Problem
My family has an issue with breakage in the middle of our hair, it is very significant and all the women in my family are affected by it (I am also) but the problem is very obvious in my mom. She has been going through a lot lately, and like mine, I feel it is stress related.
My mom is not very good with regimes so she goes to the stylist weekly to wash her hair. she had a very bad hair condition some time ago and I reccommended wigs to get her hair back and it worked, but the middle is still shorter and thinner than the rest. I recently observed the shampoo girl and realised that she doesnt condition my mom's hair properly (VERY POORLY actually)
could u reccommend something to help my mom out? she is very bad with regimes so a very simple one would be great!!!!
much thanks!!!
P.S. keep up the great work!!! the site is very popular amoung us as West Indian 20 somethings :)
Hey what's up?
I don't really think I have a regimen cause everytime I wash my hair (which is once a week), I use different products.
ie. Creme of Nature shampoo (red)
all Ways natural conditioner
(my treatment is always the same) Motions CPR Treatment
(clarifying 'shampoo' = Apple Cider Vinegar)
and another week it'll be something totally different. Did you go through the same process as I did? How did you finally come to a decision? Is it good to keep switching it up?
Hi,
why don't you use anymore Megasilk moisturizing treatment Silk Elements?
Hi Sunshyne great job! i LOVE this site.. think i am addicted. one quick question: how do you air dry using the scarf method?
Hi Sunshyne! Growing up I always had thick long hair with no real regimen. Then in middle school I started to do alot of high manipulation styles, cuts, productsd without washing on a regular basis. I now have fine hair that grows but is very thin on one side. I am tired of cutting my hair short and not seeing it get thicker and not seeing my hair grow on its thin side...I just dont know what to do to get my THICK hair back and get some growth on my thin side.
Ok...If i decide to wash my hair only once per week I'm not sure of the regime i should take.
Seeing that u wash ur hair twice, u are able 2 use one opportunity to prepoo and the next wash opportunity to apply porosity control conditioner. If i take the approach to add prepoo for 1 week and then add porosity control the next week (ie alternating evry week) i will end up using less of each than u do overall.
How often is it safest to preepoo and how often is it safest to use porosity control conditioner?
Hey Sunshyne!
I just wanted to start by saying thank you so much for posting these videos to help African American woman to keep there hair in GREAT health. I started doing my hair at home very recently and I followed all the steps in your videos. And I have seen RESULTS! NO MORE SPLIT ENDS! NO MORE DRYNESS!
and I also started to wash my hair twice a week as well....
and I just wanted to ask one question...
Q). Is it ok for me to use Creme of Nature Nourishing and Strengthening Treatment on mondays
and On thurdays I can use vital Olive Oil Hair Mayo?!?
Or One Conditioner would be enough?!?
Hey Hey Sunshyne :D
okay, im completly new to this site and to hair care in fact lol. my hair is pretty short and has been for a long tym and I want a real change.
My hair is relaxed and I pre condition overnight with coconut oil then shampoo and deep condition with olive oil mayonaise for 30-60 mins under a heat cap. i do this every 2 weeks.
I know i need a new hair care regimen but i am seriously at a loss and dont know where to start or what products to buy
would u be able to recommend a good hair regimen for thick growing hair, it would be such a help to my life
hope to hear from you soon
Chinwe- Alexis x
I want to start a hair regimen to grow my thick hair longer but I have no idea where to start. Are all those products really necessary? Can anyone recommend a few products to me for starters? I would really appreciate it.
You're just an inspiration and I love the progress on your hair. My ends are crap right now so I'll definite follow your moisturizing regimen. I think we have about the same hair type so until I know otherwise I think I'll adopt your regimen somewhat because the results have obviously been promising.Thanks so much for posting it!
may ask,why dont u do the 1 egg treatment anymore,you said it work great but now it is scratched off. why?
Sunshyne when you moisture, seal and then add jbco do you just walk around with the jbco in your hair until your next wash?
is it okay to leave jbco in your hair liek the moisturizer and sealer?
hi, i'm doin a hair regement at the mom, buh i've put extention and my hair is in braids at the moment which i take off after a week. is there any tips on how to take care of braided hair that u know? azpart from oiling the scalp with jojoba/ avocado oil often??
i'm a little worried for the rest of th hair coz i previously had split end...thanx
Using a regimen is a must for me now.I First started following you on YouTube, and thought I needed a change. Once I signed up on Hairlista, I felt like I had no choice but to do something. Here I have hope. I owe it all to you. Thank you so much for introducing this site. Soon every sista that has access to this site will have long hair to their ankles.
Much love

So on Thursdays in your regimen do you use the Silk Element mega cholesterol treatment on your hair when its dry?
Your wash days are Mon. & Thurs. so is your Sat. regimen for when you're 6+ wks. post and how often do you clarify?
Hi Sunshyne, like with others stumbling onto your blog has given me the inspiration to grow my hair longer. I already had APL hair without taking care of my hair but I wanted by hair to be longer. Since starting I've noticed alot of shedding when I moisturize and seal my hair(ball of hair about the size of a dime). Have you ever had this? Do you have an advice on what I could add to slow the shedding? I'm at a loss of what to do.
hi Sunshyne, you are such a motivator may God bless you. my hair is at nl with very thin edges but am sure with the tips of using castor oil you will see the results. am going to post my photo i relaxed my hair on 16th octoberand these two weeks am concentrating on putting back the lost proteins hope i dont overdo it. thanks for the protective styles and mosturising in sections. I've learnt alot
Hi Sunshyne,
I am looking at your regimen and I pretty much follow along in a similar manner - and have seen and felt tremendous differences. My question is when do you do your protein treatments...how does it fit in?
I wash 2x a week and DC both times...You seem to do a protein treatment once every week...do you do it on ur wash day and then follow up with your regular DC?
Thanks
why did you stop using porosity control??
I noticed that co-washing does not work for me at all. My hair was breaking more than ever so I just was 2x/week and dc every time. I moisturize daily because 2x a day is too much for my hair and I apply T-tree scalp oil mixed with JBCO every 2 days.
Hi Sunshyne
What should I use for heat if I don't have a hooded dryer?
whats the difference between the silk elements cholesterol and the megasilk moisturizing treatment?
pls sunshin how do i make my new growth soft and moisturize so it easy to carry and not breakage.please help me.
Hi Sunshyne,
I noticed on your youtube channel that you live in Canada. If you lived in Toronto can you recommend any salons/stylists? I've been having trouble finding someone who is knowledgeable and that I can trust and rely on.
Thanks,
AB
I am resolving to do my hair more this year. I have noticed little to no growth over the past 5 years with my beautician. I think it has to do with the products (CHEAP) she uses. Can you go into more detail about air drying. My hair is about 2 inches past my shoulders and very thick. I have tried rollersetting and it ends up looking a hot mess. I would like to bun it for a while. When you airdry/bun, when do you actually bun the hair? Do you use any products to smooth the edges down? How long do your buns last? Does the hair get completely dry in a bun?
@ sparkles, though im not sunshine, i do know that another way to deep condition without an hooded dryer, is get a towel and put it in lukewarm to hot water and put a plastic cap over your hair and put the towel over it. It does wonders for my hair, when i don't have time to just sit under the dryer.
@ Anonymous, sunshine had stated on one of her blogposts that using a water-based moisturizer or a glycerin/water mixture on new growth makes it a lot softer or more manageable.
