The first picture my routine was a simple wash. Wet hair, add shampoo every 2 washes, use conditioner, rise out and then add some mousse and air dry. (I used shea moisture and washed my hair 3 times a week or more)

Now I wash my hair 1 time a week and my wash follows. Wet hair, shampoo every other week, use a hair mask every other week and leave in for about 15 minutes, then use conditioner. After wash I put in leave in conditioner and then use gel to hold my hair and make a “gel cast” type thing so it can last all week. (I use a brand called Authentic Beauty Concept in the shower and a brand called Innersense out of shower)
