Updated Winter Routine

My previous winter hair care routine involved washing and styling once a week and rubbing on the Shea Butter when I feel my hair needed it.

After experiencing the intense dryness and breakage, my new routine involves:
Day 1: Wash, deep condition and style.
Day 2: Unravel braid or twist, fluff, apply Shea all over and go. Pull up into a pineapple pony for the night.
Day 3: Spritz with my concoction (Suave conditioner, water and a bit of Olive oil) and re braid or twist.
Day 4: Same as day 2.
Day 5: Same as day 3.
Day 6: Start all over again.

I'm hoping to follow this regimen. It seems like it's a lot of manipulation, but it's actually not, because I will be lightly finger combing, not using a comb.
I probably won't be able to follow this exactly, because there are times when I have to focus on my work. But I'm hoping for the best though.

Right now, I'm sitting here with chunky twist, after I spritzed and finger de- tangled. I'm not sure if I want to add rollers. I might actually aim for a twist out, haven't worn that in a while. I'll try to post some pictures of the results.
I'm not expecting definition, because my spritz had has no hold. I'm expecting big and fluffy. :)
