Interesting thread!
I would add to sleep in a satin scarf/bonnet at night instead of on a cotton pillowcase to prevent dryness and breakage.

I think you have it about right

clean stimulated scalp
products that cleanse and moisturize
healthy styling habits-limit fine toothed combs and direct heat

Less product, less processing, less manipulation... simpler is better and less is more!

The fundamentals of hair care are:

Take care of your body (internally)
Moisture
Low manipulation
Low/Little heat
Trimming when necessary

I follow these faithfully.

Conditioning according to your hair's needs at the moment (protein, moisture, pH balance, detangling etc.)
Minimize manipulation
Protecting your hair, especially the ends
Minimize chemical processing (stretching, going natural, being satisfied with natural hair color)
Minimize heat
