I wash my hair 1-2x a month and I try and keep in protective styles more times than none.
What's your hair care regimen?
The Good Hair Regimen Hair Days: Sunday two times a month
Pre-Poo (Pre Shampoo Treatment)
Step 1: Section the hair in 4 to 6 sections and secure with clips.
Step 2: Detangle each section of hair carefully from tip to root with a wide tooth comb.
Step 3: Spritz sections with warm water .
Step 4: Apply from root to tip and massage the scalp.
Step 5: Cover with plastic cap for 5 minutes.
Co-Wash (Conditioner washing)
Step 1: Apply Yes to Cucumber Conditioner on your pre-poo'd hair in sections (do not rinse the pre-poo our first).
Step 2: Detangle the sections with a wide tooth comb.
Step 3: Rinse. Step 4: Apply a leave in conditioner to your hair.
Shampooing
Step 1: Wash with a shampoo bar.
Step 2.Massage and clean scalp.
Step 3: Rinse with cool or cold water to seal the cuticle. Castille soap is a great product to use will clarifying. Adding a few drops of castor oil and a tablespoon of glycerin can prevent your hair from feeling stripped after the wash. Be sure to replace your hairs moisture with a good conditioner once you are done washing.

Step 1: Section hair in 2 or 3 parts.

Step 4: Towel Dry Style as normal! Make sure you are using products that will keep your hair moisturized if it's prone to being dry.
Some of my favorite styling products:
1. Bee Mine's Deja's Hair Milk
2. Shea Moisture's Restorative Conditioner (can be used as a leave in)
3. Darcy Botanical's Madagascar Vanilla StylingCreme
