My relaxed hair care wash day regimen varies according to my schedule and
what events are currently going on in my life. There are weeks when I co-wash my hair two or more times a week depending on my running schedule.
I am in love with trying new products so the oils, shampoos, treatments, and conditioners I use vary.
Below is the regimen I stick with the most, and works wonderful for my hair.
