Shampoo once a week: I wash her hair once a week with an all natural shampoo (Beautiful Curls: Shea Butter Curl Activating Shampoo- available at Whole Foods). I usually do this on Sunday nights. In preparation for her shampoo, Saturday night I rub a little olive oil through her hair with by fingers and massage her scalp. The hair absorbs the moisture and then the shampooing doesn't strip off too much moisture. When shampooing, I focus mainly on massaging her scalp, trying no to disturb the curls or knot up her hair. I don't rub the hair all over the place like I would my hair. I rinse it thoroughly and the curls get washed as the suds are rinsed out.  I then apply a conditioner. Right now I'm using "Tiny Twirls Detailing Conditioner" by Kinky Curly- also available at Whole Foods). As she gets older she will probably do a deep condition treatment once a week or so. The Tiny Twirls in not specifically a leave in conditioner, but that's how I use it and don't have any problems with build up. I apply about 1/2 tablespoon of conditioner and work it through her hair in sections from the root to the tip. I then take a wide tooth comb and separate the curls. If I run into any tangles (not many since her hair is so short), I'll comb them out with a finer comb, holding the hair at the root and gently combing in short strokes starting at the end. The ends are where most of the tangles are anyway and are usually caused by the hair wrapping around a little piece of lint. Most of her hair naturally goes into tiny spring-like ringlets, but some sections need a little help, so I twist those around my finger to create the curl. I dab her hair with a towel and let the rest air dry. 

Co-Washing (Conditioner washing): I co-wash her hair twice a week (usually Tues & Fri). There is enough detergent in conditioner to clean her hair and scalp. Wet the hair, massage the scalp with conditioner, rinse, add a little conditioner back in, help some of the curls along, dab dry, air dry.

Morning refresh: (less than 10 mins) In the morning I spray her hair with  water and olive oil mix (1/3 olive oil). I'll add a tiny bit of conditioner (just rub it between my hands and blot on her hair). I then melt a tiny bit of coconut oil (found at whole foods, a little goes a log way) in a tiny glass bowl in the microwave (only takes 10 seconds). I get the tips of my finger lightly coated and then start twisting little sections. This helps encourage the curls, cuts down on frizz and seals in the moisture. As it dries, the curls take shape.
