Cool this will be fun. For me I avoid cones in my conditioners I avoid sulfates (both are drying for me) pretty often and I LOVE glycerin (so far)
I won't talk about shampoos too much because I have yet to find my hg
Deep Conditioner - AOHSR - I take a dollop and rub in hands pat into one section starting from ends and repeat on each section. I realize rubbing it down my strands takes more hair with it instead of getting it in. Then I put on a plastic bag or plastic cap and a towel for about 15-30mins
It's supposed to moisturize, detangle, and condition and oooo does it ever. I was a conditioner junkie until I found this and now I'm good, I swap with AOGPB when in need of protein.
I shampoo once or twice with a teatree or jojoba based or clarifying poo - I get an oily scalp so the point of this is to relieve any itching, flakes, or oil from my scalp. My favorite is GTTT
Aphogee Essential oil or burdock root & nettle, I focus on my ends and gently squeeze in leaving on for about 5 mins or less then rinse (this is to make finger detangling easier, remove shedded hairs that are tangled, and reduce my ssk's)
I take about 2 dollops of instant conditioner (giovanni or AO again) and rub SLOWLY in my palms to make distribution easy. I then start from the bottom and pat into my hair. Now here is where I'll finger detangle if I didn't detangle before rinsing out the prepoo.
I take a cricket comb (found at sally's, amazon, or curlmart) I use the travel size one because it's easy to hold my version of a cute affordable seamless wide tooth comb. I start at the ends and comb through. I am in love with this comb no really I am it's the best tool for my hair it has changed my life. It's anti microbal too I think which makes it better since I get a yucky scalp sometimes I can just clean this with soap and water instead of using boiling water or steaming it like I would do my clips or a regular comb.
I smooth my curls with my hands and turn the dial to cool. I rinse out my conditioner and grab my coconut, tea tree, and lavender oil mix (I put it only on my scalp because sometimes my water makes it dry although I have a filter. This mix is also good for stimulation.)
then I grab a white t. I stick my head in the neck and leave it be for a little. The t helps my hair dry without frizz and breakage. I then get a spray bottle and my giovanni direct leave in (It helps me clump my curls and stay moisturized without being over moisturized because of the protein.) I feel its a good balance.
Next up is my JBCO it's an emollient I think. I put it on my ends to seal and on my scalp for growth and thickness
