Washing and drying of hair
The frequency of washing your hair will depend on your hair type and lifestyle. If you have oily hair, you may need to wash it every day. If you have dry hair, you may only need to wash it once or twice a week.
To wash your hair, follow these steps:
- Wet your hair with warm water.
- Apply a small amount of shampoo to your scalp and massage it in.
- Rinse the shampoo out of your hair thoroughly.
- Apply conditioner to the ends of your hair.
- Leave the conditioner in your hair for a few minutes, then rinse it out thoroughly.
Drying hair
There are two main ways to dry your hair: air drying and blow drying.
- Air drying is the gentlest way to dry your hair. It allows your hair to dry naturally, which helps to prevent damage. To air dry your hair, simply towel dry it gently and let it air dry the rest of the way.
- Blow drying is a faster way to dry your hair, but it can also be more damaging. If you choose to blow dry your hair, be sure to use a heat protectant spray first. This will help to minimize the damage caused by the heat.
To blow dry your hair, follow these steps:
- Towel dry your hair gently.
- Apply a heat protectant spray to your hair.
- Section your hair and blow dry each section using a round brush.
- Start at the roots and work your way to the ends.
- Use a cool setting on the blow dryer to finish styling your hair.
- No matter which drying method you choose, be sure to be gentle with your hair. Avoid rubbing your hair with a towel, and use a wide-tooth comb to detangle it while it is wet.
