Newish routine - once a week wash with extremely dilute conditioner (Shea Moisture) followed by extremely dilute shampoo - yes, in that order. It leaves just enough sebum and zero coatings so I can easily last a week between shampoos; often it's even longer. I really want to use my own sebum to it's best advantage since it seems most compatible when in balance.
I bun it up every day, spray lightly with distilled water and cover with a silky scarf whenever possible for it's own health, and because it bugs me if I don't - this seems to provide all the moisture needed, even the ends since they are tucked up against the scalp all day. It has to be a silky scarf or it'll suck moisture itself from the hair. This method has been smoothing the hair as the days go by, yet keeping it nice and clean.
