-Cantu Shea Butter, Leave-in conditioning Creme - used after every shampoo

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.
I try to deep condition once a month
I trim my ends once every 2 - 3 months or so.
I avoid using 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
