my routine (not my daily, since I do not wash hair everyday)

Redken Color Extend shampoo and conditioner

John Frieda Color Glaze in Radient Red (the color has been discontinued, and I will be very sad when mine runs out... soon)

Biolage Energizing Daily Leave-In Tonic (I believe also discontinued...)

comb

blow-dry

I am weary of using drug store products on my dyed red hair since getting it done is so expensive and red fades so easily.  I do have (and love) soft, straight hair, but as you can see, many of my faves are being discontinued.  If this stuff is super-safe and gentile on color and will give me soft, shiny, not-weighed down hair - I will try it!

I may have to wear a scarf with this dress LOL :O

I switch up my shampoo & conditioner, but my favorite right now is chi infra shampoo & treatment. I use those and then spray a detangler. I put in paul mitchell's skinny serum to get rid of frizz. Then I let it air dry and then use a straightner to straighten or curl my hair.

Comb through before getting in the shower.  Shampoo and condition.  Spray on a leave-in conditioner, work in styling products.  Weekly deep conditioning treatments.  Even though I shower every day and get my hair wet, I only use shampoo about every other day, but ALWAYS condition.  Also, I try to style my hair without heat as often as possible.

My hair tends to be a bit dry due to thyroid meds. So I like to moisturize it daily with a good conditioner. I also use Moisturizing Shampoo.  Before drying my hair I like to put hair cream to protect it against the heating elements and then after drying I use a serum to smooth my hair.

btw if I win that dress I think my husband will have a heart attack lol

I rinse my hair really well in the shower. I use a bit of L'Occitane conditioner which I leave in til the end of my shower. Squeeze out excess water and add a little Sebastion Potion No 9 and then scrunch and let air dry, then when mostly dry I finger style my natural curls. This is most days. Sometimes, I use some straightening serum, not loyal here, I use what ever I have samples of, or I buy small sizes off of Sephora to try various things, I use the serum after the Potion No. 9, which is a holy grail and something I have used for over 15 years.  Then I blow dry, using a large round brush when mostly dry to shape. I tease a bit a the crown and pull the sides back and either clip or use a barrett. Sometimes I pin it all in a French Twist and leave a few strands here and there. But, mostly lately if I blow it out I do the half up and half down. I like this, it is easy and looks good. A spritz of Elnett and I am good to go.

My daily hair routine is pretty much the same each day. I always wash and condition it everyday. I have long hair so I use Aussie Three Minute Miracle deep conditioning treatment to keep it healthy. It is the best product for my to hair to keep out the tangles. I normally blow-day my hair a couple of times a week. If I'm havning a lazy hair day then I will just let my hair "air dry" after I shower. I have thin hair so luckly I don't have to worry about it looking frizzy.

I wash my hair every other day. On the days I wash my hair I use my normal shampoo and conditioner (i could use an upgrade, poor college student....) and then towel dry. I then spray a bit of hairspray or styling cream and blowdry it straight.If I am going out or have extra time I hit the ends with my straightener and use a bit of hairspray to hold it in place.

On days when I don't wash my hair I normally either brush it and go, or if it needs a little lift I use some dry shampoo or just throw it in a pony tail and run to class. ;)

God blessed me with super thick hair so it is a must that I try and take the best care of it I can. I wash my hair every other day and make sure I thoroughly shampoo and condition it just right. I use Pantene Flat-to-Volume Shampoo and Conditioner, which leaves my hair shiny and full of body. I avoid using hair spray as much as I can because it seems to make my hair oily really fast.
