How to take care of natural hair

Hi Guys!
Day 2 of my hair growth challenge!
I just wanted to talk a little bit on how I take care of my hair.
I usually wash my hair on Sunday and it takes me a couple of hours to wash and style. I do not use the wash and go method because my hair is very thick and dry.
So, what I will do is part my hair into 4-6 sections, combing each section and putting it in a twist. Then I will go to the shower and shampoo my hair 2-3 times; after that I will condition  my hair once and leave it in while i go and wash my body. Then I will come back, and rinse my hair. When I dry my hair, I sort of dab and squeeze the water out with a towel. After that I moisturize my hair and style it, usually in a bunch of small twists. At the end of the week I will some times rook a twist out.
Now to break it down:
  1. I comb my hair and put it into sections of 4 or 6 (6 is best)The purpose is to keep your hair detangled as you wash it. It also makes it easier to style. ;D
  2. I shampoo my hair 2 to 3 times. Note: I am only scrubbing the shampoo in at the base, I am more gentle with the rest of my hair.
  3. I condition my hair once or twice. Note: I do not put the conditioner on my scalp and I pay close attention to the tips.
  4. Then I dry my hair gently with a towel.
  5. After that I moisturize my hair with coconut oil paying close attention to the ends of my hair.
  6. The rest is up to me. sometimes I leave as is and sometimes will style my hair.
  7. Every other day I will apply water coconut oil or apricot oil to my hair to keep it
    moisturized. (especially the ends!) 
So that is what I do. I wash my hair every month but I am looking to change that. I am going to try a new hair regimen. 
This is what I wish to try:

Now every ones hair is different, but I would like to give it a try, tweak it a bit to fit my hair needs. 
I'll let you know how it goes! ;D
