Shampooing

                   

WHEN TO SHAMPOO…

Good hygiene keeps the body healthy, but some take this concept a bit too far. Do you struggle with NOT shampooing your hair? Some Black women’s preference is to shampoo their hair 2 or 3 times a week, especially when they work out. There’s a big difference between needing to shampoo and wanting to. For instance, those with scalps and hair that get oily or smell sour 4 days after shampooing should shampoo often. Their scalps produce oils at a high rate and shampooing keeps it fresh. When you don’t have a high rate of oils producing but still shampoo often, it stunts the health and growth of your hair.

Removing the oils, moisture, and hydration needed for optimal nutrients causes split-ends, shedding and thinning in Black women’s hair. Resulting in not-so-cute hairstyles as well. If you're itching to shampoo, purchase a moisturizing shampoo that hydrates, detangles, and softens the hair during the shampoo process. Or you can always try rinsing your hair and running a moisturizing conditioner through, followed by a detangler, to keep from losing all your oils and moisture.
