Is This Ok???

okay i am wondering is this routine okay. im only doing this when i wash my hair and i dont go to the beautician. i wash my hair about once a week. i am african american and i have dry, medium hair(in thickness) and right above my shoulders and im thinking about getting it cut and highlights for school which for me starts in about a week and a half.





1. wash hair with REdken smooth down shamoo


2. condition with Matrix Biolage Ultra Hydrating Balm


3. apply biolage hydra-seal creme


4.apply Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum before blow drying


5. after drying apply CHi silk infusuion


6. flat iron or curl my hair .


7. apply wax works to the edges and spray some BioSilk Silk Therapy Shine On.





and does anyone know any good hairstyles or websites with how to do the hairstyles. and thank you sooo much

Is This Ok???
well, i do not know much about how to take care of african american hair (no offense), but i have heard that it is drier-ish that caucasion hair. i don't know why you are only washing your hair once a week but i would reccomend washing it every other day with a good moisterising shampoo for african american hair. maybe conditioner too. what i use to straighten my hair is this heat protectant spray made by kms california. it's sold at beautyfirst salon. i dunno where else though. i straighten my hair every day too. make sure that when ur hair is wet you only use a wide-tooth comb on it. do NOT brush it. make sure your flat iron is ceramic. they're expensive but help prevent your hair from getting damaged. that's about all i know. o, and wash your hair w/ warm-cool water. hot water damages ur hair.
Reply:Just make it smell good. Good like when I lay my head on it. There is nothing like the smell of a womans pillow with pretty clean hair.
Reply:yep ur routine sound fine =D
Reply:you shouldnt use so many products.
Reply:well i think u r applying lots of products....u should let ur hair breathe so that it is healthier, and not so dry!
