- Mixed Chicks Shampoo - I've tried using shampoos without sulfates, etc. But I had so much build-up and my hair wasn't responding well. It's true that sulfates can dry out natural hair. HOWEVER, I am a true believer that if something works for you, keep doing it. THIS shampoo works very well for me. It cleans without stripping my hair - it never feels dry, just... clean. I love it!
- Mixed Chicks Leave-In - This is a creamy leave-in. Love it! It provides so much moisture AND hold, so now I use it for my twist-outs after washing my hair.
- Herbal Essence Hello Hydration - When I do co-washes, I just use this conditioner. Works very well. Low-cost, keeps my hair moisturized. Great slip, too.
- Aubrey Organics White Camellia Conditioner - I use this as my deep conditioner. This is the best one I've tried and alleviates all hair dryness issues for me. I use this once every 2 weeks.
- Pure, un-refined Shea Butter - I get this from my local beauty supply. LOVE IT! I've been using this since I BC'd. It's inexpensive, and just does the job. One jar/carton lasts me months.
- Extra-Virgin Coconut Oil - Another staple that I've been using for quite some time now. A little goes a LONG way. Perfect, light oil. What I typically do is mix a small amount with shea butter, melt it enough to mix/whip it together, and apply it to my hair when damp as I two-strand twist. I take the twists out once dry and my hair is moisturized and soft.

The relationship between overload and recovery is a vital part of training. If the body is not allowed to recover from a severe training session of either intensity or volume then breakdown and injury may occur. It is important to know that the body's response to the actual training effect comes not from the session itself, but during the recovery period. This also allows time for energy supplies to be replenished and damaged tissue to repair. Recovery can take various forms and does not necessarily mean total rest. Active recovery could be undertaken by reducing the physical load and concentrating on skill training. Alternatively, if stress and overload is of a psychological nature, recovery could be taken playing low level sport or another relaxing activity.
