My current regimen and products

• Pre-poo with a mix of natural oils
• To wash my hair I use a moisturizing, sulfate-free shampoo most weeks and a deep cleansing shampoo when I need to clarify my hair
• A rinse-out conditioner after shampooing for extra moisture
• Deep condition weekly using a moisturizing deep conditioner. I use my Hot Head Deep Conditioning Cap each time I deep condition. If I feel my hair needs it I'll swap my moisturizing deep conditioner for a strength-based one
• For some added oomph, I do rinses on my hair to help with shedding and sealing the cuticle
• To dry my hair I do a roller set and use a heat protectant and leave-in
• Moisturize and seal every day at night
• Baggy my ends no more than 3 times a week to add moisture
