I use protein one week and non-protein the next week. I usually use a heating cap for at least 15 minutes or sit under a dryer. | For my leave-in conditioner, I use a diluted mix of Aussie 3 minute miracle deeep conditioner and seal it with any oil containing ceramides. | I usually air dry. I might occasionally wet wrap OR roll and set my hair if I want a sleek look. | At night, I just wear my satin bonnet and go to bed. |
