It's time to get practical. Are you ready to start washing? So Go!
A successful Wash and Go starts with healthy, clean hair . It is also important to put all the chances on your side by avoiding split ends, breakage, dry or damaged hair...
You must first use a gentle shampoo or Co-Wash (sulfate-free, paraben-free and silicone-free). Then proceed to wash your hair with conditioner. For the conditioner, we advise you to leave the treatment on for between 5 and 10 minutes for good hydration but also good definition before rinsing your hair properly and drying it. You can take the opportunity to massage your scalp a little. The objective of this first step is to clean and soften the hair and define the curls .
The second step: apply a leave-in or styling cream. Choose your current leave-in conditioner and apply section by section. The sections will allow you to better distribute the product over your lengths. Your leave-in will allow you to deeply hydrate the hair fiber .
Once the hair is hydrated, to prevent it from becoming dry as it dries, you need to seal in the hydration. And for this, your favorite vegetable oil or butter is your best ally. In addition to sealing in hydration, this touch will bring shine and nutrition to your hair. For example, you can use shea butter or sweet almond oil.
Now, take out your curl activator gel, and distribute a dab of it before brushing the section with your Denman type brush . You need to detangle your hair from ends to roots .
Finally, shake your head from left to right and up and down. For styling (parting, parting, etc.) do not use a comb . Prefer your fingers. For drying, you can let it air dry. For those who are more impatient, you can use a hairdryer.
