I'll start in with my routine:
I wash my hair about twice a week, except when I am biking to work (then I wash it each day that I bike).
I am currently using the Long Hair version of Formula Latina by Joss Claude Products (
here are my comments. I try to avoid -cones in my products.
I use a vinegar rinse about every 4 or 5 shampoos to clarify.
When washing my hair, I use a detangling comb through my hair when rinsing my conditioner out. Then I apply just a bit more conditioner as a leave in to make combing out a bit easier.
I do not comb my hair when wet. I use a wooden comb. I have a plastic detangling comb that I have smoothed all the edges on.
I do not brush my hair - my hair tangles when brushed.
I wear my hair in a bun or braids 90% of the time.
I sleep with my hair braided and in my favorite "hair sock" to protect it. I have a satin pillow case.
I dust or trim the splits when ever I have time. I have not had my hair length trimmed in over a year.
