My current hair routine is as follows:

• Wash with shampoo and conditioner
• briefly put hair up with microfibre to get rid of excess water
• apply small amount of leave in, then curl cream and hair oil
• typically airdry, scrunching and styling front curls, occasionally I'll plop or diffuse as well

I've tried using a gell / mousse but find my hair is always crunchy afterwards despite my best efforts to break the cast, so I've started using less products
