Oooo! good post. I was just thinking about posting my nightly routine.
Okay I part my hair in two section but with the part on the side in the front.
I take each section and using my old WildGrowth Oil bottle filled with MegaTek, ORS Shea Butter Softening creme, Silk Amino Acid and Boundless Tressess, I oil my scalp.
Then I vigorously scratch and massage my scalp on each side until it's hot and tingling.
I go back over each side with more plain Shea Butter Softening Creme, put Castor oil on my nape, go over each section with CHI SAA, and finally Soft Sheen Carson creme dressing.
Then I take the ends of each section and coat with VCO.
I twist each side and make a really big pin curl.
Then on comes the silk scarf.
When I wake up in the morning after I take my shower, I finger comb each side and it looks like I've had an expensive roller set. Well that's if I wear it down. Most days I just wear my two big pin curls.
My ends have GREATLY improved since doing this. Even moreso than when I was doing it in braids or plaits at night.
Oh and let me add, even with all that it's not oily when I take it down. My hair drinks in moisture and oil.
