Summer Routines? (If it is summer where you are) (self.curlyhair)

What is your summer routine, products and process?

I have thick coarse loosely but stubbornly curly hair (around 2c), mostly low porosity and having good success with:

Malibu C hard water shampoo

Innersense Hydrating Cream Conditioner (raked through in sections working up from nape, mostly left in, just a gentle rinse of the roots)

Jessicurl confident coils & Davines serum raked into sections, very wet hair (4 sections, each gets one pump of the lotion and one drop of the serum, mixed)

Squelch squelch scrunch then blot with a cloth. Sometimes wrap it in a plop arrangement, trying not to stretch it out.

Then Ouidad Climate Control Extreme gel. Patted through the length, and scrunched into the ends. Then if I have time, air dry an hour before diffusing. If I don't have time, hair dryer on high without diffuser for 5 minutes trying not to let it move around too much, then a quick scrunch with the diffuser on. It doesn't get all the way dry but any time with hair dryer cuts overall dry time by hours.

I have long, fine, low density hair that might be more on the high porosity side. My curls are a mix of 3a/3b, they've stretched out since my hair got long.

My current routine is: pre-poo with coconut oil, wash with Mop top shampoo and conditioner, use kinky curly knot today combed through, apply heat protectant (I've been using a few different ones to see how I like it, last wash i use olaplex 9), smooth/rake in doux foam, scrunch, microplop, and pixie diffuse for 20 minutes on low heat. Once fully dry I scrunch out the crunch with whatever hair oil I have, right now I have jojoba oil.

I am thinking of switching some of my stylers for ones with anti-humectants but it takes so long for me to get through products since I don't use a lot and wash every 4 days.
