R2: I wash about once a week, more if I start to get sweat/product buildup on my scalp, less if the old depression is acting up and I can't be bothered lol. Right now I'm using Shea Moisture, but the first month or so I used the Deva Curl No Poo sampler to try and be fancy about it. I squish in the shower, scrunch out as much water as I can, then put about a kilo* of Curl Smoothie in before I wrap in this fancy microfiber towel I got on Amazon and ignore it for about 20 minutes. Prob longer bc I have the attention span of a gnat. Sometimes I use dollar store argan oil if it's going to be mad humid and I plan on wearing this ish down, which doesn't happen if I have to leave the house. I work for a coffee chain Which Shall Not Be Named and have to scrape it back bc nobody wants a meter-long hair in their PSL.
*Exaggerating. It's more like half a kilo. I didn't use enough yesterday and now I have a top coat of frizz to deal with today.
