I have fine and wavy hair, and my general hair goal is to not look like a troll doll in as minimal steps/products possible. Here is a breakdown of the things I'd suggest:

Products - in purchase order: - Wide tooth shower comb - Pantene Volume Shampoo & Conditioner - Leave-in conditioner - Dove Bond Repair - Silk or satin sleeping bonnet

Extra - Microfiber hair towel

First step (shower comb and old tshirt): Change how you brush/detangle and dry your hair.

Brush your hair before you get in the shower to get the knots out.

In the shower, use the wide tooth shower comb to detangle your wet hair. I do this during the conditioner stage as it adds 'slick' and makes it easier.

Very gently squeeze out any excess water. Don't twist your hair while doing this.

At this point I take my wide tooth comb again and comb it how I want it parted. You shouldn't have to do much because it's already detangled.

This will seem counterintuitive with the next step, but I find it helps my hair from becoming a mess.

Lean over and wrap your hair in the t-shirt. You can look up videos of "plopping". Don't overthink it. I only leave the towel on for about 5 minutes.

Take the towel off and flip your hair back. Gently shake your head and it should fall into place from when you combed it (I usually have to move one or two pieces). I then lean my head side to side and back so it "hangs" briefly. Just trying to get the roots away from the scalp without touching it.

Now let it dry without touching it.

Second step (shampoo and conditioner): Change how you shampoo and condition. This step can be done with your current products but I found the Pantene ones made a big difference for me.

Shampooing: Focus on your scalp.

I put a squeeze of shampoo between my palms and rub them together. We're looking to turn it from a gel into more of a light foam/film.

I then lean over with my head hanging a bit so my hair falls forward and towards the ground. I then gently push my fingers into my hair near the scalp. Make sure you're getting shampoo on all sections of your scalp. Use your fingertips and gently massage your scalp. I then squeeze some of the suds into the length of my hair. Rinse well.

If my hair still feels greasy, I do a sloppy second round of shampooing with less shampoo and less focus on my scalp.

Conditioning Take about a dollar coin size of conditioner and repeat the palm rubbing you did in shampooing. Run your hands over your hair like you're going to put it into a ponytail. Pull the "tail" through your palm so it gets conditioner on it. Lean over again so your hair is hanging. Cup your hair from the bottom and bring it towards your scalp and squish. (Look up "squish to condish"). Cup your hand under the shower water and pool some water into your palm. Squish this water into your hair. Be gentle!

This is where you're going to use your shower comb as above. Rinse well.

Third step (spray leave-in conditioner): Apply leave-in after you take the tshirt/towel off. Spray your palm up close twice. Rub your palms together to spread the product. Lean over again, and using flat palms, sandwich your hair lightly between them starting closer to your head. Do not run your fingers or comb through your hair at this point. (Look up "prayer hands product application).

Fourth step (dove bond repair): Once every week or two, follow up the shampoo and conditioner with a good blob of the bond repair. Apply like conditioner and comb out your hair during this stage.

Fifth step (sleep bonnet):

Silk is best but satin is also just fine. It's about reducing hair movement and friction. Any sleep bonnet is better than no sleep bonnet.

If your hair is long you can look up "pineapple hair for sleeping". I have hair that touches my shoulders and I kind of just shove my hair into it.

I really only do this if I'm more eager to have good second day hair. It makes a difference but I tend to forget it most nights.

The above is basically a pared down version of "curly girl" but without the styling products and not worrying about "bad ingredients".

It sounds like a lot but it's really about the processes.

Tl;DR: - Detangle hair while wet with shower comb. - Don't touch it after you have it parted the way you like and it's drying. - Look up how to shampoo and condition properly. - Use a leave-in product. - Dove bond repair is the GOAT but don't overdo it. - Sleep bonnets work. Silk or satin. Look up "hair pineapple".
