Natural hair is beautiful and versatile but requires sweet TLC to maintain health and vitality. Wash day is a crucial part of that process and an important self-care ritual for black women with natural hair. It sets the foundation for optimal hair growth, moisture retention, and our hair‘s overall appearance. Here are three tips to help make your next wash day the best one yet!
Prep for Success:
Start by detangling your hair using a wide-tooth comb or fingers to minimize breakage, then part your hair into sections to help with manageability. This step helps save you time and makes the wash day experience smoother and more effective.
Choose the Right Products:
Using the right products is crucial for maintaining healthy natural hair. Use moisturizing and hydrating products that cater specifically to your hair’s needs. Try NUDRED’s Shampoo I.T. and Condition I.T. Our shampoo eliminates dirt, excess oil, and buildup from the scalp without stripping away its natural oils. Our conditioner brings moisture back to your locks after. Deep conditioners, leave-in conditioners, and hair masks can also help provide that extra moisture and nutrients our hair craves.
Seal in Moisture:
Moisture retention is key! Sealing in moisture is an essential step in your wash day routine. After conditioning, apply a water-based leave-in conditioner to hydrate your strands.
Try this product combo:
Use NUDRED’s Rejuvenate I.T. first, then seal in the moisture by applying the Hydrate I.T. Be sure to massage it in deep, from the root through the strand. This process helps to lock in moisture and will leave your hair feeling flawless and manageable.
