How often should I wash my waves?
Here’s How To Start
*Set aside a day once a week or every other week to let your hair & scalp breathe.
*Use a comb to loosen any wax buildup.
*Allow your hair to Breathe for at least 4 hours before you shampoo your hair.
Remember washing your hair removes all oils, including natural oils so, try to use good shampoo & conditioners, all-natural types. Avoid shampoos with heavy perfumes and preservatives. If you can not afford an organic or all-natural shampoo, try adding olive oil to the shampoo mixture.
Brush your waves with a soft, medium, or hard wave brush while the shampoo mixture is in your hair, try the 400 Stroke Method. (Optional) You can add a durag at this point while the shampoo is in the hair and rinse your waves while the durag is still on your head. I wouldn’t advise this but since you’ll do it anyway make sure you rinse it more than twice.
Now its time to rinse, dry, moisturize
- *While the shampoo is in your hair rinse your hair with warm water. (Use Wave Brush)
- *Dry hair with a towel, just enough so the water doesn’t drip.
- *Apply Scorpion 360 Wave Moisturizer – At this point add a moisturizer or leave-in conditioner, not a wax pomade.
- *Brush your waves in desired wave pattern – 400 Stroke Method.
- *Apply du-rag and set.
