hair washing tips + tricks
Next up: we’re here to offer tips + tricks on how to get the most out of your hair-washing routine!
- Detangle dry hair before showering.
- Start by fully immersing your hair in water, then squeeze a quarter-sized amount of shampoo into your hands (our shampoos are concentrated, so you don't need a lot).
- Make sure you lather the shampoo between your palms before you massage it into your roots. Fully rinse it out.
- Always double cleanse! The first time to actually cleanse, and the second time to reap all the benefits your shampoo has to offer.
- Squeeze excess water out of hair before applying conditioner from mid-lengths to ends. Let it sit for 2 minutes. If you’re detangling in the shower, make sure to use a wide-tooth comb.
- At the end of your shower, finish it off with cool water to seal in moisture and close the cuticle.
