My hair routine is simple. I call it SCOSS!
How I detail my routine varies from week to week
When choosing products I am very conscious of price and hair impact!
Currently I am using…
Shampoo –TRESemme Moisture Rich Shampoo. (32oz for less than $5) I only require my shampoo to be inexpensive, and clear (to avoid product build up).
Condition – Just purchased DevaCare One Conditioner, I am still on the fence about this conditioner mainly due to the cost. (Ok you noticed I am super cheap) I used it only once, and noticed my hair was easy to comb through BUT only tried it once. So after trying it a few more times I will provide a review.
Oil – Morocco Oil – LOVE IT!! It feels and smells great. I noticed an instant softer difference on my hair.
Shea Butter – I love Shea butter!!! It acts as styling butter. To shake things up, I am currently using Miss Jessie’s Curly Buttercreme. The curly buttercreme gives me a shinier, frizz-less smaller hair look compared to shea butter. Curly Buttercreme has thumbs down on price! Online it’s $20 shipping alone. I went to a local salon, and they only sold the 16oz at $60! Yikes!
Style – I find my hair thrives in protective styles. I sit in front of the TV and start to two strand for an hour or so. I leave the twist in one week, and rock the twist outs the following. I wash/condition in between styles.
What is your hair routine? How do you deviate from my SCOSS routine?

My routine is pretty much the same - I just recently started doing pre-poos with oil (if my hair is in braids - I sometimes do an ACV rinse before taking them down and oiling).
Before washing - I pre-poo with castor oil, massaging my scalp and working down to my ends. I also just started washing and conditioning with my hair in six to eight loose braids, which helps a ton with breakage.
I unbraid and detangle with the conditioner in then do a final rinse, add in some leave-in coditioner, moisturize and style. This takes a little longer but in the end it’s worth it because there is way less breakage.
