Washing
The products I use to wash and condition my hair.
To keep my curly/wavy hair smooth, soft, and frizz free I alternate between this smooth+ regimen and moisture+.
Smooth Regimen - HSMRG001
Depending on the time of year, i.e. in the winter when my hair can be drier, I’ll use this shampoo along with the shampoo from smooth+. To get the best from both worlds.
Moisture Cleansing Oil Shampoo | M. Cohen & Co. Shop (MTSH236)
When it comes to drying my hair I only use a microfiber towel. Keeps frizz at bay!
Blush Satin Wrapped Hair Towel
This works so well for catching my hair when I wash it. Easy to then pick up and shake off wet hair into the trash. Super easy!

Now that my hair is long again this size works great!

On the days when I don’t wash my hair I use two shower caps to keep my hair dry while in the shower.

Styling
The products I use to style my curl hair.
So when it comes to styling my curls I mix 3 products together and apply to my curls in sections. I mix this curl cream with step 3 of smooth+ the oil treatment along with a hair gel.
Define Curl Cream - STCC150 | MyRandF Shop by M. Cohen
This is the defrizz oil treatment I combine with the curl cream and below the hair gel to get curl definition and lock in the moisture.
Defrizz Oil Treatment - SMTT060 | MyRandF Store
This is the hair gel and third part of my styling mixture. The three together work so well for soft touchable curls.
8.5 oz Advanced Climate Control Heat and Humidity Gel - Ouidad | Ulta Beauty
What I use to style my curls. This was when my hair was much shorter than it is now.

Another quick styling video. When my hair was shorter I didn’t always use the gel I mention here. But these days I need it coz of the length for even more hold.

Deep conditioning/ hair masks
The specific product I use for a deep condition/mask for my hair. Good for non curly too!
This is a great deep conditioner which I like to leave on my hair for about 5min while in the shower after shampoo. I also like to mix it with the smooth+ conditioner for an extra blend of goodness.
Moisture Conditioning Mask - Myrandf Shop Product Page
Roughly once a month I’ll do a deep hair oil treatment using three oils and I like to leave on for 1-2hours before washing. The first step is applying the caster oil to the roots and scalp. Really massaging into the scalp. This is great for dryness.
Aria Starr Castor Oil Cold Pressed 16oz
Step to of my hair oil treatment is liquid coconut oil that I apply liberally all over the bill length of my hair but not the ends.
NOW Foods Liquid Coconut Oil, 16 oz
Step three of this oil treatment and recommended by a hair stylist to promote hair growth is to apply vegetable glycerin to the ends of the hair. For me, the combo of all three really helps nourish my hair.

Taking care of my curly hair even when I sleep!
To keep my hair frizz free when I sleep I always use a satin pillow case. I own multiple from Kitsch and love them all.
