What is you're routine after washing

[daaisychains]

So you're just out the shower/bath and you're hair is nice and wet, what do you do?

Ie, comb it, oil then ends, leave it down to try, bun it/braid it and leave it to dry, towel it etc etc.


Sorry i'm just Mrs. Nosey Merci in advance.

Squeeze out excess water, pat it down with a towel, detangle with a wide-toothed comb. Then I usually oil it lightly, fluff it up a bit and leave it alone for a couple of hours until it dries.

after washing I brush with my wooden comb and once its dry I add a little bit of oil on the length.

Previously, i used to let it sit and dry 'all by itself' untouched. At the moment, i've got it in a turban towel wrap and i'm contemplating putting a little bit of coconut oil on the ends. Usually i leave my coconut oil to the day before a wash because it greases things up a bit. But i've found out through reading here that it is infact an easily absorbable oil so a little bit shouldn't hurt, guess i'll know the results in the morning!

I spray mine with leave in conditioner, I use a pick on it too comb it out, after It dries ( either air or blow dry ) I use silk infushion on it.

Squeeze out. Pat dry. Go to sleep.
Sometimes I french braid before step three, depends on how late I leave my shower.

Towel turban for 20-30 minutes. Detangle and comb, oil lightly. Leave it to airdry (normally with a towel round my shoulders).

I dry it all off with DH's t-shirt then spray a leave in conditioner on the ends and use a wide tooth come to detangle it all then let it air dry and I'm good to go.

Towel turban for maybe 10 minutes, rotating the towel once to get a dry spot where it gets soaked at the back of my head. Then I tend to apply a bit of oil, comb through, and let it be loose to dry for as long as I can. Sometimes, that's not long (or my hair's bothering me), in which case I braid it loosely and go about my day.

ETA: Huh... Am I the only one who oils before detangling? I find the detangling process goes so much better if I've put a drop or two of oil in my hair first!

I wrap it in a towel before I get out of the tub and leave it that way maybe 5 minutes. Next I detangle with my favorite Mebco detangling comb. Sometimes I'll add a leave in or a smidge of oil. Then I air dry and will often damp bun after an hour or so.
