My hair routine is fairly simple.  I normally wear two-strand twists.  My hair is like a Slinky, which causes massive shrinkage and terrible tangles.  

My Pre-Wash Routine 

Pre-poo loose twists

Before I wash my hair, I detangle each twist to remove any shed hair and knots.  I spritz my hair with a water and olive oil mixture, and I use a conditioner.  I mostly finger-detangle my hair.  Finger detangling is when you use your fingers to detangle your hair instead of a comb.  I have found that combs tend to break my hair, so I rarely use them.  If I do use a comb, I still finger-detangle first.  After I detangle each twist, I re-twist it loosely to get ready for a wash.  The pre-wash helps to loosen any dirt or build up in my hair.

My Wash Routine

I wash my hair in four sections.  I only add shampoo to my roots and I massage my scalp with my fingertips.  I rinse out the shampoo, then I add more conditioner.  I do this section by section.  After I complete the last section, I will start with the first section and rinse out the conditioner.

My Twisting Routine

Fresh Twists

Right after I wash my hair, I re-twist it.  I coat each twist with a leave-in concoction that I put together.  Please check out my Hair Products page for more information.  After I finish, I mist it with a water and olive oil mixture, then let it air dry.
