Textured hair is a beautiful blessing and blessings deserve to be taken care of. Maintaining healthy natural hair requires consistency and patience and having a solid hair routine can make this a much easier process. Whether you are a complete natural newbie or a curly expert building a hair routine is a great and essential step for your hair journey. Here are some tips to help you with building a hair routine you can actually stick to. Our Hair Care Pyramid is a useful guide to determine how regularly you should be doing different hair care practices and can help with building your hair routine.
Daily
There are a lot of different tasks you can do on a daily basis and these can help you with building your hair routine.
For Waves and Loose Curls that can lose their shape easily and can struggle from product build-up, limit your daily routine to lightweight products such as spray leave in conditioners, water and stylers for hold and definition such as mousse and gel. For tighter curls that tend to be drier, your hair will likely need moisturising on a daily basis, particularly for high porosity hair that struggles with retaining moisture.
On a daily basis, your hair routine would benefit from leave in conditioner, refresher sprays orcleansing foamsand stylers like gel that can aid with detangling, styling and curl definition. For kinky coily hair on a daily basis your hair will need more moisture than the other hair types. Products like leave in conditioners, hair butters and light oils will make a nice addition to a coily hair routine, but if you have fine hair you may want to try to stay away from heavy oils and butters like coconut oil and shea butter that can weigh your hair down.Make sure you are using the right oils for your hair.
Tip: Use these when appropriate, you make prefer to heavier apply products at night and simply spritz with water in the morning or look for leave-in conditioners with SPF for the day. It all depends on what works for you.
Weekly
Cleanser- When it comes to cleaning our hair, this is a topic that widely varies in the textured hair community. From no-poo to sulphate free to clarifying shampoo to co-washing their are a tonne of methods out there. How often you should wash your hair also varies but a typical recommendation is to wash your hair once a week. Whatever you do, you want to be working on clean hair so removing dirt and product build up IS important. Not sure what shampoo will work for you,build your own dream cleanserto implement in your hair routine. Or for braids, locs and protective styles, opt for ourCleansing Foam.
Conditioner- Conditioners moisturise your hair and help the cuticle to lay flat. When conditioning your hair, you can use the product in your hair to help you detangle and soften your hair. You should leave a conditioner in your hair for around 10 minutes to allow it to impart all of its conditioning properties on your hair. You really want to ensure you put your conditioner throughout your hair avoiding your roots, particularly if you struggle with fine hair as this can weigh it down. Make sure you use a silicone free conditioner, you cancreate your own custom conditionerat That Good Hair.
Deep Conditioner- Deep conditioners are intended to be intensive treatments for your hair and often are targeted at specific areas with higher concentrations of active ingredients and oils to penetrate the hair. They are left on the hair for a longer period of time usually 20-30 mins.You should aim to deep condition on a weekly basis either before cleansing or after conditioning.
Monthly
The activities that should be in your monthly hair routine such as Steaming, Hair Masks and Hair Rinses are special treatments that help to replenish your hair which is why they can be done less regularly. However you are able to do them as often as you would like. People with low porosity hair tend to steam their hair on a weekly basis while deep conditioning to help lift the hair cuticle. People who struggle with a dry itchy scalp or frizz might regularly do hair rinses with Green Tea or Chamomile tea. Those with coloured hair or who are transitioning may use a hair mask on a regular basis to help manage their dryness. All of these activities are relative to your hair and what you think is best for it.

After buying from a stall in Westfield, I can’t live without this for my 2 girls curly hair. Keeps the hair so moisturised and soft all day, even the next. A staple and must buy!!
✨ Review: Hydrating Mist + Hair Oil Duo ✨
My son has been using the hydrating mist and hair oil from this company consistently in his hair routine, and the results honestly speak for themselves. His hair looks healthier, shinier, and has so much more volume now. On Eid especially, his hair looked amazing — soft, defined, and full without looking heavy.
The hair oil has become his favourite part of the routine. He massages it into his scalp twice a week and leaves it in for a couple of hours before washing. It really helps keep his scalp moisturised and makes his hair feel stronger and smoother afterwards.
The hydrating mist works perfectly alongside it because it adds lightweight moisture and shine without making the hair greasy. He usually sprays it before styling with mousse, and it helps define the hair while keeping frizz away all day. ✨
What we noticed after regular use:
Shinier, healthier-looking hair
Softer texture
Better volume and definition
Less dryness and frizz
Hair feels hydrated but lightweight
Overall, this combination has worked really well for his routine, especially for keeping his hair looking fresh and styled naturally. Definitely products we would keep using. ⭐
Best beard oil on the market, has the exact results I want from a beard oil and I need to use so little to get my desired results, couldn’t recommend enough
I have only just started using the products. It’s maybe just three weeks now but this leaves my hair feeling so clean without any white residue like some other cleansers. It’s a must have and because I feel so clean and all residue is removed. I no longer wash my locs I just use this now and it gives me the same effect pending when I decide to redo my locs at the salon.
Since using the hair butter and hydrating spray my daughter’s hair has been easier to style and there has been less tears. Before her hair was dry but after using the products her hair looks shiny and healthy. We love how they smell too. Would definitely recommend.
i really like the hair mist so far, i don’t need to wet my hair anymore to refresh the waves i just use the spray and it brings it back to life that little bit more!! when i finish i’ll bring it back to refill!! xx
It absorbs beautifully without sitting greasy on top, which is rare. My hair drinks it up and just looks expensive afterwards. The frizz? Calm. The dryness? Gone. The ends? Sealed and behaving.
I RARELY write reviews so trust me when I say this product has my heart! I believe it's my fourth time purchasing it and honestly my hair absorbs and loves it. I find my hair to be frizz free and I barely get any breakage, I put that down to how moisturising it is. I also use it for my kids and their hair loves it too! I love how gentle the ingredients, it gives me a peace of mind
I’ve been using this hydrating hair mist for a short while now, and I’m genuinely impressed with the results. My scalp feels well-hydrated and comfortable, without any dryness or irritation. My hair feels noticeably softer, healthier, and more manageable, with a natural shine that doesn’t feel greasy or heavy.
What I really appreciate is how lightweight the mist is—it absorbs easily and refreshes my hair without weighing it down. It’s perfect for daily use, especially when my hair needs a quick boost of moisture. Overall, this product has helped improve the look and feel of my hair, leaving it nourished, refreshed, and well cared for. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to maintain hydrated, soft, and healthy hair.
I was recommended this by someone who works here for my 4 month old baby. I’d beg to differ.. essential oils and tea tree are definitely not recommended for a baby so young. I tried it on myself it’s ok but definitely won’t be buying from here again. I wanted to like it but it’s not for me
I’m from the US and was very hesitant about this product. So happy to see that this product gave me the look I wanted! Happy customer…….definitely will purchase again.
I was approached in Westfield Shopping centre as I have curly hair and was told the product would be perfect for my type of hair. I have been looking for something that would be light enough not to weigh my hair down but give it the moisture it needs. I was super excited to use the mist but unfortunately it just dried my hair out. It was very light on my hair but didn’t enhance the curl pattern any more than what it was. I am very disappointed with the product especially for the price. I have to use it with my original hair product for it not to dry my hair out. I would not purchase again,
Sorry 😕 I wanted to love it but it’s not for me!
Great with hydration. Great with making my hair shine. Smells amazing. And I got loads of compliments on how healthy my hair looks deffo will buy again.
Love this mist. It detangles, hydrates and softens my Afro hair. It also prevent breakage.
I have been using mist for a number of years and highly recommend it
3 curly kids and we love this stuff so much! We have the whole range, and I often borrow some on the oil or butter for my own hair. Genuinely wouldn't be workout this spray now. Best things I've used on my kids hair by far
Defines my daughters curls so well! By far my favourite product for my curly kids. And it smells divine! Taken 3 years to find what really works for her, so glad we took a chance on this range.
Second-time purchase of this product for me. I highly recommend it for flyaway or frizzy hair, and it smells great. Lasts a long time (on my hair anyway).
Lovely product, light with a lovely earthy scent. I notice my hair because thicker after a month of usage. I also purchased the hydrating hair mist which add life to my loc. I'm so grateful for this lovely products.yes! will buy again.
“Absolutely love this hair oil! It makes my hair so soft, manageable, and smooth. The scent is amazing too — not overpowering, just right. A must-have in my routine!”
I love this bonnet! 1) I've become a restless sleeper so I toss and turn quite a bit and this does not come off. I don't have to do the mid sleep checks anymore to see if it's still on my head 2) I've spent so much money on silk bonnet and it just not living up to the hype but this £8.50 satin bonnet has done everything i thought those silk bonnets would do. I have thick wavy hair and these have been amazing controlling the frizz!
I Decided To Try The Mist After Using The Oil For A Year. It's Great For When My Hair Is Styled; It Was Especially Good When I Was On Holiday In Ghana; My Locs Were Hydrated and When I Took Them Out Of The Style, They Were Moisured With No Need For Oil. I Only Need To Use It Once A Week In The UK; About Every Other Day In Hot Weather. Give It A Try; The Larger Bottle Is Great Value.
Have had issues with fizzy hair and this product helped very hydrating. Got this from Westfield Shepherd’s Bush and two ladies we very helpful and got tips. Will be purchasing more from this line
Really happy I found this product. I really struggle with definition with my hair and so far using this product my curls last and actually look like curls. Will definitely buy this again.
After doing the big chop I was so worried my hair wouldn’t grow back quickly but omg.. after using this hair oil (along with other TGH products) I finally feel like I have my crown back. I swear by this hair oil!! The scent, the texture and the way my hair has grown back so healthily! I even use it on my hair clients. I can’t fault it at all, thank you ThatGoodHair!! ❤️
This has been the best thing fir my itchy scalp. Been loving the oil and the hydrating Hair Mist for my cornrows. It keeps the style neater for longer and keeps my scalp moisturised.
