1. Pre- Shampoo
Before turning on the shower, you need to detangle and prep your curls. Experts believe that slathering an oil, deep conditioner or co-washing can help you prep your curls before kick-starting your full wash day routine. It helps to make your curls soft and hydrated, making it easier to detangle your hair.
Detangle And Keep Your Hair Knot-Free
First, detangle your curls with your fingers as finger detangling is easy and much gentle on your hair. Then use a wide mouth comb and start combing from the tip. Tip of your hair is more dry and frizzy than the rest of your hair.
Rinse After 30 Minutes
Allow the pre-poo to rest for 30 minutes and then rinse off with water.
2. Shampoo
Now your hair is drenched in water, you can move on to the next step which is shampooing. To get the maximum benefit of your shampoo, you need to apply it evenly all over your scalp and hair.
Start From The Roots
Focus on your scalp and apply the clarifying shampoo on the roots, to get rid of product buildup, dirt, grime that gets accumulated on your scalp. Hold the tips of your hair strands together to avoid tangling.
Rinse And Repeat
Now rinse out the clarifying shampoo and follow it up with a moisturizing shampoo. As per our hair expert, ‘Using a clarifying shampoo initially helps cleanse your hair and scalp, while the moisturizing shampoo keeps your strands well hydrated.”
Final Rinse
The final rinse should be with warm water, to open up the cuticle. It aids in the better absorption of moisture from the conditioner.
3. Conditioner
Now we will be moving on to our next step which is applying conditioner. To get the maximum out of your conditioner, follow these simple tips.
Squeeze Out
Before applying a hydrating conditioner, squeeze out the excess water from your strands.
Avoid Scalp
Apply moisturizing conditioner evenly onto your strands, starting from mid-length till the end. Avoid applying conditioner on your scalp.
Rinse Out
Leave the conditioner on your strands for 5-10 minutes to allow it to moisturize and condition your strands. It makes your dry, frizzy hair easier to manage. Then wash off the conditioner with cold water.
Experts recommend washing off the conditioner with cold water as it closes the cuticles and traps the moisture inside your strands, leaving your curls super hydrated.
4. Drying
Once your hair is completely washed, we will move to towards the last and final step which is hair drying. Make sure that your hair is dried properly so that it is well prepared for styling.
Dump Your Bath Towel
Instead of bath towel, use a micro-fiber towel or else your old T-shirt will do the job. Use it to dry your hair as your regular bath towel has tiny loops where your curls can be stuck, resulting in hair breakage.
Experts recommend air-drying your hair, instead of using a hairdryer as it can dry out and damage your curls. Style your curls when it is still damp, by using a hydrating serum or a moisturizing gel, as curly hair craves for hydration.
