I know this is long overdue, anyway I did the big chop in November 13 2015. I actually did it spontaneously, just got home and decided I was ready. Got my scissors and conditioner then started cutting.
After I did the bc, I was experiencing dryness, my hair never stay moisturized but with regular deep conditioning and moisturizing, I was able to come at the dryness.
Down to my hair regimen, I try to keep it simple
Every first Sunday I wash my hair with my diy dudu osun shampoo
Do a dc with ORS olive oil replenishing conditioner (light protein), cover with my processing cap for 30 mins and rinse out.
I moisturize my hair using the LOC method
Liuid/Leave in conditiiner: I spray my hair with a little water then apply mg cantu Shea butter leave in.
Oil: Castor oil (i was using coconut oil but switched to castor oil cos of the harmattan)
Cream; Shea butter or Emily Millionaiae coconut oil and herbs
Every other week I cowash my hair with vo5 conditioner, deep condition with Aussie moist 3 minute deep conditioner (moisture dc)
Then moisturize with LOC
I sometimes prepoo with olive oil, will try to be more persistent
