Friends who touch my very long, but extremely fine hair seem to be compelled to gasp and ask me "oh my! your hair is /so soft/!  What do you do to it?  What do you use?"  

"If your hair is that much trouble, why don't you just cut your hair off?" says Dad. After all this time of shoulder length hair, isn't it about time I had long hair again?

The Routine:

1. My hair is better than it was now that I've got my routine down pat, with my main constituents of between  3-6 conditioners on my hair at the same time (rubbed into my scalp as a shampoo, then left on for 10 mins), which consist of the main conditioner with good surfactants:  Tresseme Salon Silk (with a violet mix of blue and red food colouring mixed in, for my top layer of blonde hair that is only a few months old); Matrix Detangling Conditioner, the evil company Wella's 60 Second Repair conditioner, and numerous other conditioners I've got in my shower.  
2. Just before I rinse this mixture of conditioners off, on the lengths /only/ I spray a concoction listed below, three times onto my hands and smooth it through, leaving on for a maximum of ten seconds. The products I've mixed up:
• half a bottle of Avon children's hair detangler, 
• 5 pumps of Avon Moroccan Oil, 
• 5 pumps of Avon Lotus Shield, 
• a couple of squeezes of Salon Only: SOS leave-in conditioner/UV Shield (old. Blue colour);
•  and filled it up with filtered water* 
• (* My hair cannot take those products without being watered down and left on for only up to ten seconds.  It is so fine, it knots up and becomes a grease ball with even the smallest amount of any of those products, without being watered down and thinned out to such a small amount.)  
3. As I rinse my hair out (sitting on a shower stool), I brush with my lovely black Tangle Teezer, which helps me detangle the mess, and helps to prevent crunchy knots from the products not rinsing out properly.  I will rinse my hair out for about five minutes, before I concentrate on other shower necessities.
4. Then, when I'm out of the shower, I gently squeeze the water out of my lengths with a microfibre towel, 
5. Turn my hair upside down and head bang like I'm at a metal concert,
6. Then place 3 pumps of the evil L'Oreal company's Mythic Oil: Milk in my palms and run it through my lengths,
7. Then I pick up the Activance with Rhodanide spray: three sprays x 3 times onto my hand, rub hands together and run over my scalp and then over lengths.  
8. I then air dry my hair whilst brushing new awful knots out with my Tangle Teezer. 
9.  I will then plait my hair and sleep on it.  
10. I do not wear my hair out unless it is a special occasion, such as I need to look good when out.
