Hair Care Regimen

I am currently in the process of revamping my regimen but this is currently it.

Shampoo – * Shikakai shampoo bar ; Suave humectant shampoo
Conditioner – Suave humectants conditioner
Deep conditioner – Miss Key 10 en 1 Super conditioner mixed with ½ bottle jojoba oil
Detangler – Mane and tail detangler
Hair oils - Coconut oil
Hair moisturizer - different types on leave-in conditioning sprays

Here's what I do:I wash with the shikakai shampoo bar (I lather up twice) then I put on regular conditioner for about 3-5 minutes. Then I deep condition with Miss Key for about 10 minutes or longer depending on how busy I am. Then I will detangle with a wide tooth comb in the shower before I rinse out the Miss Key and again when I get out the shower with the Mane and Tail. I will most likely blow dry my hair on low focusing on getting the roots straight. If I am more than 5 weeks post relaxer I will use the moisturizers and hair oils if not I use the oils alone, because the ORS is a little bit heavy. Sometimes I might flat iron my hair (on a low setting) other times I will just slick it back into a bun or something and wear it like that. I'm not strict about heat and wearing my hair down. I only wash my hair once a week right now, in the summer it might be more depending on what I'm doing and how hot it is outside.

What I'm experimenting with:
Shikakai and amla powders
Vatika oil
Different style
Blow drying alternatives
& other products for each category!

    What does the mane and tail Detangler do for you? I'm in love with Mane and tail conditioner it makes detangling easy for me.. but people aren't happy with the paraben in it..
