Wash Day on My Type 4 natural Hair

Deep conditioning natural hair

I received a few questions on how I wash my hair and I decided to do a video so I can show you how I wash my hair most times. As in my typical wash day. Just a brief description. On this particular day, I used Head & Shoulders African scalp and Hair care products which are really good by the way, especially if you struggle with dandruff. Unlike their other anti-dandruff shampoo which leaves my hair feeling like straw and tangled, the African scalp range is much, much kinder to my kinks and I really love it. It has really helped keep my dandruff wars at bay. I will soon review the range and tell you my fav product of the pack.

One question I wanted to answer is, do you deep condition before washing the hair? The simple answer is YES. When my hair is tangled especially after a long term protective style, I normally detangle my hair with a hair mask or conditioner. That acts as my deep conditioner and on such days, I don’t deep condition my hair after washing it with shampoo. A normal conditioner will do just fine. Otherwise, deep conditioning after washing the hair is the best.

washing natural hair in sections

And, Do I section my hair when washing it? Yes I do. It’s mostly 4 sections but sometimes I do 2 especially when I am washing my hair in the shower. I find that, working in sections, especially when I need to detangle my hair, I can work bit by bit without yanking my hair unnecessarily.
