Now, let’s talk about the juicy details of your wash day routine.
- Start by pre-pooing to prep your hair for cleansing. This involves applying a nourishing oil or conditioner to your hair before shampooing to prevent excessive drying. Say goodbye to brittle hair, hello to moisture! Try out our Bentonite Clay Mask as a pre-poo.
- Next, choose a shampoo that cleanses without stripping away your hair’s natural oils. Type 4 naturals, listen up! Opt for sulfate-free shampoos to retain moisture and keep those curls popping.
- Once your hair is clean, it’s time for deep conditioning, if you don’t have a deep conditioner use your regular conditioner. Let that goodness penetrate your strands for some extra moisture and strength.
- After rinsing out the conditioner, it’s time to seal in all that moisture. Apply a leave-in conditioner or a creamy moisturizer to keep your hair hydrated throughout the week. Seal the deal with a natural oil to lock in that moisture and add shine. (Avoid raw coconut oil, petroleum and mineral oils )
- Style and protect those gorgeous tresses. Choose a protective style that suits your fancy, be it cornrows, a twist-out, braid-out or box braids. Don’t forget to keep your scalp happy by moisturizing it with a lightweight oil or scalp serum.
- Lastly, make sure you don’t go more than two weeks without a wash day. Our type 4 hair coils regularly and needs to be hydrated as often as possible. Therefore, make it a habit of washing your hair every 7-10 days if you can. This will make sure your hair gets everything it deserves frequently and definitely give you the results you desire.
And voila! You’ve mastered the art of a wash day routine that will make your natural hair thrive. Remember, building a routine takes time and experimentation, so don’t be afraid to tweak it until it suits your hair’s needs.
