Wash day can be very overwhelming for those with different hair textures and lengths, but it is an essential part of your healthy hair care journey. Here's why it's required:
1. Removes build-up from the scalp: The primary purpose of wash day is to remove any build-up that may clog the hair follicles. A dirty and clogged scalp can stunt hair growth, so it's necessary to clean your scalp at least every 1-2 weeks if your hair is not in a protective style.
2. Removes build-up from the hair: Product build-up on the hair can prevent it from pulling moisture from the air, resulting in dry hair. If your hair is not in a protective style, you need to cleanse it at least every 1-2 weeks to ensure that it's getting all the conditioning benefits of the products you're using.
3. Helps build the hair's moisture content: Consistently washing and conditioning the hair on a weekly or bi-weekly basis will increase its moisture content over time. This results in softer, more elastic, defined, and shiny hair with less frizz and shedding during detangling.
When it comes to choosing the right products, it's best to use shampoos and conditioners that work well for your hair type and avoid those containing alcohol or sulfate as it can dry out your hair. Also, it's best to do a deep condition at least once a month and steam treatment twice a year, depending on your hair texture.
On your next wash day, consider using our Queen Bea hair oil as a pre-poo or hot oil treatment to give your hair the nourishment it deserves.
