My hair routine:

My routine is fairly simple. I shampoo* my hair 1-2 times a week, and deep condition as I feel it's needed (1-2 times a month maybe). I usually “pre-poo” before washing my hair by misting it with water and adding an inexpensive conditioner. I clarify my hair as needed, to handle any product build-up on my hair (which works out to be every other month roughly).

I try to manipulate my hair as little as possible, and only comb my hair in the shower when my hair is completely wet. I use a Jilbere shower comb for most of my detangling and do this holding my hair under the water spray (which I've found makes detangling much easier). I still use my Denman brush to detangle, but have started using it less (because I find I lose less hair without it).

Once my hair is shampooed and conditioned, I put in my leave-in moisturizer by smoothing it onto my hair in sections (no parting or combing is done during this part—only finger styling/manipulation—to minimize frizziness). After that, I make sure to seal the moisture in by using a nice oil (which I smooth over my strands, concentrating it at the ends).

My current favorite products:
Organic Root Stimulator Creamy Aloe Shampoo (esp. nice in hard water)
Roux Porosity Control Shampoo (helps my hair retain moisture better after I use it)
Dove Intense Moisture Conditioner (all time favorite conditioner)
Aussie Moist Conditioner (for my pre-poos)
Lustrailk Shea Butter Cholesterol Plus (I use it both as a deep conditioner & occasionally as a leave-in)
Africa's Best Liquid Hair Mayo (my staple leave-in)
Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (from GNC)
Proclaim Olive Spray-On Glosser (smells wonderful and works great)

* Sometimes I use more than one shampoo while washing my hair (one for the first lather and a different one for the second lather—it just depends on what I feel my hair needs).
