What To Do To Natural Hair Before Washing. Shampooing the hair strands may lead to over dryness and if you are planning on blow drying your hair this could very likely lead to breakage. As you probably guessed the key to washing natural hair is to 1 reduce moisture and protein loss and 2 limit tangling during the wash process.
Hope it s helpful to ya. Leave it for 30 mins. Moisturizing is important because shampoos are more alkaline and tend to dry the hair out.
The focus of your wash should be to scrub all the surface dirt off your scalp.
Other people have used a different approach to detangling natural hair without breakage when it is severely matted. After getting the hair damp put a generous amount of conditioner into the hair. Back with my complete wash day routine. Only shampoo your scalp once or twice or it could lead to flakiness.
