There’s the right way and wrong way to wash kinky hair. If you have curly or kinky hair, then you know you have to be extra careful while washing it to avoid hair loss. However, there are a lot of technicalities that we are not aware of. For instance, whether the temperature is right or how to remove the knots. It’s a struggle but done correctly, you’ll have beautiful, tangle-free hair. Here’s how to wash kinky hair the right way.

1.    Detangle

Before running your hair through the shower, make sure there are no knots. Water makes your hair weaker so you’re discouraged from combing your hair while it’s wet. You can use a detangling conditioner or oil to soften your hair. Gently detangle any knots using your fingers. This process also makes it easier to wash your hair and adds some nourishment to your hair. Here Are The Best Products To Use On 4C Hair

2.    Section

Kinky hair can be a handful to wash all at once especially if it’s thick and long. In this case, section your hair into 4 to 6 sections and put them in braids. Start washing your hair section by section then re-braid it. It’s a tedious process but it ensures that you get all the tangled hair and minimizes the breakage. It also ensures thorough and deep cleaning.

3.    Shampoo

Once your hair is nice and wet, it’s time to lather it with shampoo. Shampoos are an essential part of getting healthy hair as they contain the necessary ingredients. Depending on what your hair needs, you could use a conditioning or moisturizing shampoo to clean your hair. Massage your scalp but avoid scrubbing as this may cause tangling.

4.    Condition

Conditioner is like food for your hair. It feeds it whichever nutrients your hair requires to flourish. You’ll need a deep conditioner especially one with avocado or mayonnaise. You can use it once or twice every two weeks for the best results. However, you can also have a rinse out conditioner that you use while washing your hair. While you’re still in the shower, brush out your hair to get perfect curls.

5.    Rinse

The rinsing process is fairly simple. You should let the water run downwards through your hair. Make sure to use luke-warm water as hot water strips the hair of its natural oils. Additionally, don’t rinse off all your conditioner. Leave some in to keep your hair moisturized and form those curls. You can gently run your hands through your hair to detangle it, just in case. Six Home Made Rinses That Are Great For Natural Hair

6.    Dry

The cardinal rule is to not use a towel to dry your hair. This will sip all the moisture and nutrients from your hair undoing all your efforts. Instead, let it air dry. But you can dab your hair lightly with a towel if it’s excessively wet as excess weight can cause breakage. Once you’ve finished rinsing, you can apply a leave-in conditioner and hair oil.

Tip: There’s no specific number of times you should wash kinky hair. However, the recommended amount would be at least once or twice a week.
