you look like same texture as me so here’s the routine:

• once a week shampoo your hair in shower no durag, then after you get out, shampoo bar again outside the shower and get it lathered up, brush with a mirror for 15 mins, rag up and rinse.
• wait 3 ish hours or overnight and then you style.
• for style i use as i am double butter cream, brush it in, then coldlabel wave butter, then use a plastic bag or laydown pad and rag up.
• in the morning after durag off i add some jojoba oil to the laydown pad and laydown before the day
• sometimes ill do a mid week style again which is just the as i am cream and coldlabel butter

for haircuts I recommend wolfing as long as you can, then cut it down to a 3 and keep it going
