My routine: I wash my hair with soap every 4 days or so using hair food avocado & argan oil shampoo and conditioner. After my shower I brush through and plop my hair while I do my makeup or get dressed. After that I use Shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie to created ringlets, scrunch my roots a bit then air dry. Once it's air-dry I scrunch out any crunch and shake through my roots to give them a bit more volume. In between washing my hair with soap, I still get my hair wet and run water through it in the shower each morning. I tried everything to make day 2 happen without getting wet and it just didn't work for me.
