I've been using RPR straighten me out gel. And it's my holy grail atm. it does have cones and is heat activated but my hair looks so much better when I use it

Do you blowdry or straighten it Bat? How do you manage the heat activated element please?

Thank you
My routine is minimalistic, for the last half year I've been doing very little. Washing 3 times a week, I use sulfate shampoos, followed by conditioner, once a week a mask. Oiling once 2 weeks. I do not keep products long time on my hair as it is easily weighed down. After the wash I use leave-in and then styling product.
I'm actually in the middle of changing my routine because I noticed recently that my hair has become drier and more tangly as it gained some length. So I'm testing CVC washing and maybe will try using gentle shampoo more often

I suppose if your hair is getting dry then I won't try to copy anything you're doing. It does look great but dryness and tangles are never good. Do you use cones? I find that I absolutely must so that mine doesn't tangle.

I need to get back into pre-poo oiling. I started doing CWC and oil+silicones after washing, and that seems to have helped reduce volume for me. I've also noticed improvement with t-sal shampoo and a chelating rinse.

Do you use a silk or satin pillowcase?

As it is now I have only one silicone conditioner. I don't have anything against silicones but they do tend to weight my hair down.
I sleep on a regular cotton pillowcase but I think I will soon start looking after satin, it could be good.

I don't straighten my hair I blast dry it sometimes though I try not to do that more than twice a week I also don't 100% dry it

Braid progress, featuring one of my new "thin scrunchies"! French braids are my favorite go-to style for greaseball days at this length.
I prefer the way Dutch braids look in general, but at this length they "shred" too much, French braids stay neater for longer. Maybe at APL Dutch braids will stick better!

Oxalis That's neat!
