Hair Care Series: Shampooing

Video One: Shampooing

Shampoo nights are Wednesdays. I pre-poo, shampoo, and deep condition.

Pre-poo:

Neutrogena Triple Moisture Daily Deep Conditioner Coconut Oil or ApHogee Essential Oils for Hair (to seal in moisture)

· Mix both together and make enough for entire head.
· Section hair into four parts.
· Take each section and apply mixture like you would a relaxer but take the mixture down the hair shaft and also apply to the ends of hair.
· Once all four sections are complete, massage mixture into hair and massage scalp to lift any dirt that may be there.
· Grab a big, wide tooth comb and make sure hair is detangled.
· Leave mixture in for 20 minutes.

Shampoo:

Pantene Pro-V Beautiful Lengths Shampoo or Victoria’s Secret So Sexy Nourishing Shampoo

· Using warm water rinse out conditioner and oil mixture.
· Shampoo hair 2 times (work up lather but do not gather hair on top of hair to prevent tangles).
· On the second shampoo, detangle hair if needed with a wide tooth comb or with a scalp
massage brush. (I use Babyliss Scalp Massage Brush sold at Sally’s)
· Rinse hair of all shampoo.

Deep Condition:

Nexxus Humctress or Neutrogena Triple Moisture Daily Deep Conditioner

· Add a quarter size (or depending on length of hair) amount to hair and ends of hair.
· If using heat, put on a plastic cap and use heat for 8 – 10 minutes. Rinse out with warm water.
· Run cold water through hair to seal hair cuticles.

Final Step (preparing for bed):

Neutrogena Triple Moisture Silk Touch Leave-In CreamSoft Sheen Wave Nouveau Coiffure Daily Humectant Moisturizing LotionCoconut Oil or ApHogee Essential Oils for Hair (to seal in moisture)

· Add leave-in conditioner and detangle hair.
· Add moisturizing lotion and use oil to seal ends of hair
· Style hair using no heat (You can do a braid-out or spiral curls)
· Use a scarf or sleep on a satin pillowcase to protect hair and prevent breakage.
