My Updated Shower & Self‑Care Routine

I’ve always found routines daunting. The idea of planning out each step—like a recipe for your skin or hair—used to feel like too much. Hair masks were something I’d only remember on a whim. But wow, Tiktok has taught me things—I’m actually enjoying crafting a consistent routine. Here’s what I’m using right now, with what works and some thoughts.

Full Routine & Product Breakdown

Step

Product

What It Does / Why I Use It

Shampoo #1

Verb “Curly Hair” line

First cleanse: to remove buildup and prep waves for moisture.

Notes / What I’ve Learned

  • Layering moisture: Shampoo + Conditioner + Mask + Leave‑in gives different levels of care. If I overdo it (especially heavy conditioners or masks), my curls can feel weighed down.

  • Dry skin days vs “normal” days: On dryer weather or after sun exposure, I lean more on oils, richer creams, and double wash.

  • Tools matter: The scalp massager helps me relax and also distribute shampoo better. The net sponge gives gentle exfoliation without being harsh.

  • Mind minimalism: It’s tempting to keep adding new products—but sticking with what works means less waste and more consistency.
