My Hair Routine

My current product rotation:

Shampoos/Conditioners:
-100% Pure Black Soap (purchased at a local flea market) - used once every 2 weeks
-All Natural Afro Detangler Creme - used after every shampoo
-Organics Hair Mayonnaise- used to deep condition once a month

Moisturizers: (liquids, oils and butters)
-Plain Distilled Water mixed with any oil that I have on hand - Used as a daily spritz on afros & twists

Styling & Miscellaneous Products:
-None Currently

My hair can be very tough to detangle at times.  As a result, I do not wash my hair as often as I would like.  I was my hair every two weeks or so with 100% Black Soap in its pure form. 

I deep condition once a month

I trim my ends once every 2 - 3 months or so.

I never use direct heat on my hair. 


My styling routine consists of the following:
- Braid my hair into 8-10 large braids after it has been freshly washed
- After braids have dried, I unbraid my hair and finger style it
- I usually rebraid my hair every night to avoid tangles.  If I do not rebraid it, I usually resort to a puff the next day
-To give my hair a break every once in a while, I leave it braided and
wear nice scarves or a Kufi for a few days to avoid daily styling
- Wash hair after 2 weeks of wearing hair out
- Rebraid freshly washed hair



Note:
I am by no means an expert on hair care.  The products I use and care routine I follow is based on trial and error.  The following products and/or care routine may not work for you.  Everyone’s hair is different.
