What should u do to maintain a regimen tht u cnt..

What should I do to maintain a hair regimen that I can afford to maintain? I don't have a job and and I go to school, I can't afford to always buy conditioners and get my hair done at the hair salon to straighten my roots. So far I've been co-washing my hair and DC'ing alternating the DC's from my dominican silicone pearl extract protein DC and with my Vitals DC(Idk if thats a protein or moisturizing ) but so far im going on 6 weeks post and I literally have an inch of new growth, yesterday I straightening my roots because I didnt want my hair to be tangley and create further damaged. My hair has gotten longer which Im pleasantly surprised, because I didn't think half an inch would show any significant difference. What kind of regimen should I create to still take care of my hair but can afford, because my hairis growing to fast for me to keep up with financially?

for co-washing use V05 or suave naturals maybe you could dc every 2 weeks to stretch the products.

truely and honestly I use any conditioner like I've used my gariner conditioner it was probably like 8. oz, that ran out, my nexxus that ran out, (when I used them they were almost finish already) but I really want to know if Vitals is a protein or deep conditioner? And yeah thanks I forgot about cheap conditioners, right now I just bought the Dove oil conditioner and its good, but I dont know about washing my hair often like I've been doing my new growth aint playing no games when its trying to come through its growing fast. What do you ladies do to keep ur new growth under control? Do u air dry? I find that that leaves my hair tangley w/ the NG? Making it seems like i have to rake my hair to detangle it when its dry, but mind I do put moisturizer in it before going in to detangle it. I use BB oil Moisturizer but to me all it does is make my hair oily, my hair doesn't feel soft and moisturized. But as far as being able to manage my NG while trying to encourage more NG is challenging...
