So, for the past 2+ years my routine has been relatively the same. What do you guys do?
- only comb my hair once a day, after shower/condition
- finger comb otherwise, when dry
- shampoo about once a week, maybe more in the summer
- never use a brush, straightener, blow dryer, dye, or hair ties which aren't all cloth.
LoL.. I think I'm OCD though... especially since I feel better after writing this!
Hi Peg,
That's a very good routine and I tend to follow something similar to you and the results certainly show the amazing well kept hair that you have.
Cheers,

Thanks John, cool to see that your routine is similar to mine as well.
The only thing I really lack in my routine is an efficient way to dry my hair.
I used to avoid towel drying, but now I do, yet it still stays wet for hours on end.. lol.

The above all sounds good to me, Peg, --- and your fantastic-looking hair sure proves it!
The only "major" difference in what I have in my own routine compared to yours is: i DO use a brush on my hair (but, only when my hair is completely dry).... I have 2 favorite brushes, in fact: one with wooden bristles (which is my favorite for giving me a good scalp massage, helping to stimulate blood flow to nourish the hair roots); plus now I also have a 2nd brush that I just got last month for Christmas, which is 100% pure boar's bristle (good for finishing & smoothing out my hair, and helping to transfer the scalp's natural oils down the hair shaft all the way to the ends)...
I've been a long-time brusher all of my adult life (even when my hair was much shorter), --- I'd be one extremely "unhappy camper" if I ever had to give up that daily routine (or, maybe I should say: "ALMOST daily" routine)... That little ritual always makes my scalp "tingle"; and just in general, makes me feel GREAT (and "alive") afterwards!!!

Hey, good idea! Maybe I should get some kind of thick-bristled brush for massaging the scalp too--that sounds amazing right now. =) LoL.
Peg, Looks like your routine works wonders. Keep it up!
peace, jonalbear
My hair routine is intense because of my curliness and damage. e-e
So I only condition, usually everyday (switching to every other day soon, probably), clarify once a month with baking soda, and only comb my hair when it's wet or fingerbrush, and even then I ahve to use a leave in to keep my hair happy.
