2 Years In...I'm about to start a regimen

2012

I turned 2 years natural on June 24, 2012. During these two years (even during my super short transition), I didn't have a regimen. I feel like my hair has grown A LOT and is fairly healthy despite the number of times it's been bleached >_<. I just want to attempt a regimen and see if that can help things move a little easier and faster when it comes to retention and reaching my goal (Full APL to Full BSL by Dec. 2012).

I will:
Co-wash with Shea Moisture Restorative Conditioner 2x a week (Sunday & Wednesday)
Wash with Shampoo 2x a month (August 15th & August 31st)
Follow shampoo washes with Africa's Best Hair Mayonnaise for 15 minutes w/ plastic cap
Moisturize hair as needed with Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie
Seal hair daily with Pure Coconut Oil
NO Wash & Goes! I get too many knots doing that. :(
NO length checks (except the 1st and 31st)

 Since it's the first of the month, I think now is a good time to keep track of shedding. I will use a ziplock bag to keep all of the hair that I shed the ENTIRE month. (I only really shed when I detangle and I never detangle unless I'm washing my hair). I plan to do this every month for the rest of the year to make sure it's consistent.
