My Hair Regimen

Daily mist with shea moisture mist (will make my own mist when I run out) plus shea moisture milk plus castor oil/shea butter
Weekly: Wash with black soap and use leave in conditioner + aloe vera juice + coconut oil + castor oil (jojoba oil) OR Deep condition with yoghurt/mayonnaise/rhassoul clay/coconut oil/regular conditioner followed with co-wash and use leave in conditioner + aloe vera juice + coconut oil + castor oil (jojoba oil). I use black soap once a month and rhassoul clay once in 2 months.
I do not style my hair. I am hair styling challenged and too lazy to bother. I wear only wash and gos, which works perfect on my 4c hair by the way!!!!! I tried a twist out twice – complete waste of my time. I didn’t like the look and I promptly added water.
Prior to October 2013, I combed my hair almost daily. Now I can’t even if I wanted to. I rarely detangle but while in the shower, I try to comb in sections. I do get lots of single strand knot and tangles. 
Products I have/use for my hair

Coconut Oil – Love it. I use on hair and body.
Jojoba Oil – Why did I buy this again? Will probably use as a body lotion and to lock in moisture. Will not replace this product when I run out.
Jamaican Black Castor Oil - Like it for scalp massages
Pimento Oil – will not replace this product when I run out
Peppermint Oil – Like it for scalp massages and in rhassoul clay mix
Shea Moisture Shea Butter – will not replace this product when I run out. Will buy a “no name” shea butter from home.

Shea Moisture Curl and Style Milk (Yucca and coconut & Hibiscus) - will not replace this product when I run out.
Shea Moisture Hair Conditioner – Like it for use as a leave in conditioner
Shea Moisture Hair Mist (Yucca and coconut & Hibiscus) – will not replace this product when I run out. Will make my own mist
Aloe Vera Juice - I don’t see what it does to my hair but I will continue to use it.
Apple Cider Vinegar - will not replace this product when I run out. I don’t see what it does to my hair and I do not care for the smell.
Tresemme Naturals Moisture Conditioner – Like it for use as a co-wash/rinse out conditioner
Rhassoul Clay – Like it for use as facial mask and to clean my hair
Dudu Osun Black Soap – Love it. I use on hair, body and face
