Relaxed hair needs extra TLC. The process of loosening the curl pattern leaves hair a bit weaker and drier than untreated hair, which means that shampooing, drying and styling can do more damage. Shampooing relaxed hair properly means paying attention to both the porduct you use and how you use it. Choose a sulfate-free shampoo to make sure that the cleanser will not strip your hair of its natural oils. Be gentle with your relaxed hair to keep it healthy.
Instructions
1. Soak your hair completely with warm water. Squeeze a small amount of the shampoo into your hand and apply it to your scalp only. Rub the scalp with a firm touch to distribute the shampoo all over your head. Do not scratch your scalp.
2. Rinse the shampoo, allowing the lather to travel from root to ends. Handle your hair gently to prevent breakage at the boundary between your relaxed hair and new growth.
3. Repeat the shampoo process if you have exceptionally long hair or you haven't washed it in two weeks. Follow the shampoo with a moisturizing conditioner to combat dryness.
