I moisture every day with a mixture of oil and water in a spray bottle. The oil could be olive oil, coconut, argan, or even heat protectant.

I also use twist defining gel which keeps my curl pattern from mating up.

Other than that; detangling and Co washing every week while shampooing and deep conditioning every month.

Depends but from what I know, natural hair dries really fast so we have to wash less often.

Plus shampoo strips moisture out of our hair so I wouldn't recommend using it every 2-3 days. If you have to wash that often, use Co wash

I wash my hair when needed. Usually a month or sometimes sooner, whenever my scalp feels tight and itchy.

I spray with water/aloe or water/conditioner every day

Condition/cowash like once a week

I use shea moisture for everything

I wash And condish once a week, deep condition probably twice a month. I always use a moisturizing leave in and an oil after I do anything to my hair while it's still wet. While its dry I apply water and oil as needed as well.

I only use 2-3 products at a time. Shampoo OR conditioner, a leave in and either coconut or olive oil. I get regular cuts and basically leave it alone.

I also use a leave in conditioner.

apple cider vinegar is going to make ur hair very dry. when u are in the shower, shampoo first. apply ur conditioner then a shower cap. wash ur body, then rinse the conditioner out. it will be like a deep conditioning. u can even use the cheap stuff. i did and my hair was pass my waist before i cut it :smile:

I use shea moisture shea deep treatment masque as a cowash once or twice a week depending on how sweaty my head got while working out and then spray with shea moisture coconut hibiscus shine mist

But my hair stays the softest if I just drench it with plain water in the shower and let it air dry . If I do that 3 days in a week without any other products or manipulation it's like I have a soft halo of clouds floating around my head.

I've tried coconut oil but it left my hair feeling like straw, any brand recommendations?

The cantu shea oil sheen spray is really good too but unfortunately caused me to break out

You probably don't need to use coconut oil. Is your hair protien sensitive.
