I think I'm going to do this as a series, and I'll keep adding to the posts if I try new things or change the routine. My haircare routine has been pretty consistent and I have been using some of these products for years already. My haircare was pretty much already vegan with the exception of a shampoo that I was occasionally using. PLUS! All the products are silicone free!
Hair Mask:
I use Coconut Oil (cold pressed, organic) and I'll massage it into my scalp and roots section by section. Then, section by section I'll apply the oil to the lengths and ends of my hair. I'll twist my hair into a bun and leave it on for an hour or so. (I find that leaving it on too long can get a bit irritating and the results don't differ as much to me if I were to leave it on longer).
Removing the extra coconut oil can be a pain but I have a shampoo that works well for it!
Shampoo:
I currently use the Live Clean Apple Cider Clarifying Shampoo (this one is slightly stripping so it's great for taking out the residual coconut oil), I also really enjoyed the Live Clean Pink Fire Colour Protect Shampoo. I still want to try out more shampoos but I'm not too concerned since shampoos are rinsed off. I tend to prefer shampoos that look clear than ones that look milky.
If I have the coconut oil in my hair I'll use the Clarifying Shampoo once and then a non clarifying shampoo for the second shampoo.
Conditioner:
My favourite conditioner is the Live Clean Pink Fire Colour Protect Conditioner (Their Fresh Water Moisturizing Conditioner basically has the same ingredients so I'll use them interchangeably). I'll massage a generous amount onto my hair. (Some times I add more water onto the hair to spread the product all over the scalp and lengths, I have long hair so I try to stretch out my products).
Treat/Protect:
Once I'm out of the shower and my hair is half dry, I'll take the Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil. The Herbaflor Virgin Organic Argan Oil is great too, except the scent is a bit stronger I'll take about 6 drops and rub/massage on my ends and whatever's left over onto the scalp/roots area. I really think it helps my hair dry faster. Also, when I style my hair the overall look appears smoother.
I find that 6/7 drops is plenty for my long hair (it's past the chest). Argan oil goes a long way, if you put too much it will feel gross. I find that it works better than other oils to sit on hair since this isn't a rinse off.
I've tried different oils and argan oil is the best for me for as a leave on.
I'll continue to update this post as I go :)
