I think I have finally worked out the optimal shower routine for long hair (2c/3a type curls)

If you have this hair type you know how hard it is to get it looking right

Do not use any hair products that contain sulfates, silicones, parabens, mineral oil or ethanol
https://www.naturallycurly.com/curlreading/curl-products/cg-method-approved-products

1. Apply a small amount of sulfate free moisturizing shampoo to your scalp and rub it into the roots, rinse it out.
2. Blast your hair with hot water to open up the cuticle, this will allow more moisture to be absorbed into the hair.
3. Apply a generous amount of moisturizing silicone(/paraben/mineral oil/alcohol) free conditioner to your hair and work it through each strand, detangling your hair in the process.
4. Scrunch your hair to enhance curl definition.

5. Rinse your hair out with cold water to seal up the cuticle and trap the oils inside.
6. Scrunch a small amount of gel into the tips of your hair.
7. Wrap your hair in an old t-shirt for 10 minutes to prevent it from dripping (Do not use a towel, this fucks your hair up for some reason).
8. Take off the t-shirt and scrunch your hair with it to speed up the drying process.
9. Wait for your hair to dry or use a diffuser.

Hope that has been informative and I will talk to you guys next time
