How to wash wavy hair

While other hair types are encouraged not to brush hair when it’s wet, as it’s true this is when hair is most fragile, with curls brushing dry hair just won’t do. It’s also smart to finish your shower with a hair mask or deep conditioner for curly hair, so your strands are properly prepped for brushing.

How often should I wash my wavy hair? Most people with wavy hair like washing their hair every 3-4 days, or about twice a week. Washing too much can be drying or stripping, but not washing often enough can make hair feel dirty. Washing about twice a week tends to be a good balance for most with wavy hair.

Most people with straight or slightly wavy hair can benefit from drying brushing that distributes natural oils from the scalp down. “Every other day you should grab a paddle brush, or a Mason Pearson, and brush from your roots to your ends,” says Fugate.

Use Low-Poo Delight for regular cleansing to maintain your waves. Wash and condition your hair every 2-3 days, with an added deep condition 1-2 times a week to keep moisture high and frizz low. Try One Condition Delight for your normal conditioner, and Melt Into Moisture for deeper hydration.
