Why is it important?
Shampooing and conditioning your hair rejuvenates your hair and scalp. It gives you a clean slate to work with and gets rid of product build up in your hair. A great way to obtain a more healthy hair texture and healthy hair is by taking care of your hair. Create a routine of washing and conditioning your hair and scalp.
A great way to wash your hair with waves is by Washing and Styling/ Shower Brushing. This is a process of you brushing your hair while washing and conditioning. The process of washing your hair is very important for waves it can gain or lose you wave progress.
When you wash your hair with waves you want to make sure that you do so carefully. Take the same approach for when you get a haircut be prepared and careful so that you do not lose progress. If you are wolfing, water can easily over-curl your hair which in terms makes your wolf harder to manage so take steps when washing your hair.
A good Wash N Style will benefit your hair if you do it correctly. Some of the benefits it will give is your hair will lay down easier, a more luster and shine to you hair, and it will feel fresh. The steps I take to Washing and Styling is
1. Brush my hair with my pattern and then Comb with the grain of my pattern.
2. Wet my hair with warm-hot water. Then Apply the shampoo desired with the grain.
3. Comb against the grain of my pattern.
4. Comb with the grain of my pattern.
5. Brush your hair back into your pattern for about 1-2 min.
6. Rinse it out with cool- cold water.
7. Apply the shampoo again (important to keep the hair wet from the cold water DO NOT allow your hair to become dry)
8. Brush your hair for 5-10 mins make sure your hair is wet DO NOT let it get dry or the hair will over-curl. (so if you feel your hair is getting dry if you have a spray bottle with cold water spray some of it in your hair to keep it moisturized so you can keep brushing. )
9. Apply your conditioner desired and for 1-5 minutes brush it in with the grain of your pattern.
10. Put your compression on (durag and stocking cap) and rinse it out with cold water while the compression is on.
Key:
with the grain- with your pattern of how you brush.
against the grain- not with your pattern you brush.
Its important to make sure every-time you brush your hair or apply products while Washing N Styling that you do it with the pattern that you choose to brush your hair normally . Only time you do not go with the grain / pattern is when you go against the grain.
