My Simple Hair Care Plan That Actually Works (No Fancy Stuff Needed)

Let’s be real—between work, errands, and just trying to get enough sleep, sticking to a complicated hair routine is the last thing anyone wants. That’s why I finally sat down and created a no-fuss hair care plan that actually fits into my life—and helps my hair look way healthier too.

1. Figuring Out What My Hair Actually Needs

I used to buy whatever looked good on the shelf (guilty), but then I learned that my hair is low porosity and needs lightweight moisture—not heavy oils. Once I knew my hair type, texture, and porosity, everything got easier.

2. My Weekly Wash Routine

I wash my hair twice a week: once with a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo to cleanse, and once mid-week with just water and conditioner to keep moisture locked in. Sundays are my deep conditioning day—non-negotiable!

3. Leave-In, Cream, Oil (But Keep It Light)

I follow a super basic LOC method. I use a lightweight leave-in, a cream to define curls, and a few drops of oil to seal. The trick? Less is more. My hair looks way better when I don’t overload it.

4. Nighttime Routine That Doesn’t Suck

I used to hate wrapping my hair at night until I found a satin bonnet that doesn’t slip off. I also swapped out my pillowcase for satin. Game changer. No more dry, frizzy mess in the morning.

5. Scalp Check-Ins

Every couple of weeks, I do a quick scalp massage with a few drops of tea tree or peppermint oil. It helps with flakes and just feels amazing. Clean scalp = better hair growth, period.

6. Trimming Without the Salon Drama

I trim my ends at home every 8-10 weeks. I just twist and snip the very ends—it’s not perfect, but it keeps my curls from looking ragged and helps me avoid breakage.
