Wash‑Day Routine

Wash day is the most important routine for curly hair. Wrong washing habits lead to dryness, tangles and breakage.

Complete Steps

• Pre‑detangle: Detangle dry hair with fingers or wide‑tooth comb before water touches your hair. This reduces massive tangles during shampoo.
• Shampoo: Use sulfate‑free shampoo. Focus shampoo on your scalp only. Do not rub shampoo hard onto curl ends.
• Rinse thoroughly: Rinse scalp completely. Shampoo residue causes itch and dry hair.
• Conditioner: Apply conditioner from mid‑length to ends. Let it sit 3‑5 minutes. Use finger to gently detangle inside shower.
• Deep conditioning (1‑2 times per week): Use hair mask. Leave 10‑20 minutes for extra nourishment. Best for damaged, dry curls.
• Dry gently: Do not rub hair with rough towel. Squeeze excess water. Use microfiber towel or old cotton T‑shirt to press water out. Rubbing creates frizz.
