My routine is very simple. I'm a lazy asshole and I ain't doing all that. So yeah, just regular shampoo (I use generic head and shoulders bc my scalp is dry) and I use one of those scalp scrubbers. Then I either use a deep conditioner or the Aussie Bouncy Curls Conditioner. I let it sit for a while while I do my face/body and then I mostly just rinse it from the top of my head. If the ends feel particularly squeaky I will add a little more conditioner before I get out of the shower and just leave it in. Then I scrunch a few times with the towel and wrap it around my head.

Get out, put in my contacts, moisturise my face, then take off the towel, comb my hair in the general part I want with either a wide tooth brush or my fingers and then spray with the Gliss heat protector.

Then I blow dry my roots and my fringe only with a comically huge round brush. Just for volume and shape.

Then I add that curl cream/gel to both my wet length and my dry top layer (I will rewet the top layer if needed and give it a few scrunches) then I don't touch it until it's dry.

I've only started doing the root blow dry recently since cutting my hair, but I really like the effect. I can go like four days without washing my hair and it looks decent. I'll add a bit more of that curl cream to reduce frizz and refresh my hair and spritz with dry shampoo if greasy.

Before I would just do everything else and no blow-dry (or just fringe).

So that's it!

For the products, I swear by that Aussie curl conditioner. They sell a lot of curly products, but I only used this for years. I'll water down a pea sized amount and rub it over my dry hair and it works perfectly fine as a leave in.

Currently using Garnier Hair Food as my deep conditioner. I don't really like it, but I got it on sale. I use it like once a week.

I use the Gliss spray if I'm blow drying. It's also supposed to repair damage and I do see a difference since using it.

And then the curl gel stuff, I use like a penny sized amount for below the shoulder hair on the first go and like half that for subsequent refreshes.
