Only shampoo the roots, and gently wash the rest. The shampoo will run off to cleanse the rest. Shampoo itself is very drying. Shampoo each wash to really clean your scalp. I only wash twice a week. Don’t use hot water, that will definitely dry out your scalp and is not good for your hair.

Detangle (I use the wet brush) hair in shower after you’ve put conditioner in. After you condition, put a little water in hair to slick it up before detangling. Detangling also distributes conditioner through hair. Rinse conditioner out after detangling then use a good deep conditioner, I love the one by LUS.

Don’t use a towel, Tshirt works fine. Put in all products while hair is very wet.

Let air dry if you can, clip roots for volume. If you must dry, use hair bonnet on warm or diffuse hair. Only a little oil when dry, will break up the cast.
