Wash Day Done Right: Cleanse Without Stripping
Why It Works
Wash day should leave your hair clean — not stripped, tangled, and snapping. The problem usually is not your shampoo; it is the order. Harsh scrubbing, piling all your hair on top of your head, and skipping conditioner all rough up the cuticle, and a roughed-up cuticle is what tangles and breaks. Done gently and in the right order, wash day does the opposite: it clears buildup from your scalp so follicles can breathe, then restores the moisture your strands need to stretch instead of snap.
How To
- Pre-poo first: On dry hair, smooth a light layer of GlammedNaturallyOil through your lengths and ends and leave it for 20 minutes. This buffer keeps shampoo from stripping your strands bare.
- Detangle before you wet it: Section your hair and gently detangle with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb, ends first, working up. Wet, tangled hair breaks far more easily than dry, detangled hair.
- Shampoo the scalp, not the lengths: Work shampoo into your scalp with your fingertips (never your nails), then let the suds rinse down through your lengths. Your ends do not need scrubbing — the rinse cleans them plenty.
- Condition generously, then detangle again: Apply conditioner from mid-lengths to ends, and detangle once more while it sits. Hair is at its most flexible — and least likely to break — right now.
- Rinse cool and seal: Rinse with cool water to help close the cuticle, then smooth a light layer of oil or leave-in over your hair to lock the moisture in. Style as usual — your hair is set up for the whole week.
