Your hair washing routine? You’re not alone! Many find wash time to be a lot of maintenance because afterwards there is tons of dryness or the manipulation from washes may cause breakage. Well it can be a bit of a chore if you don’t know the tricks. To make wash time more gentle on your strands use these tips:
1 Detangle before washing your hair
When you wash hair that is not detangled prior, tangles can be even worse. Detangle your hair such as curly virgin Peruvian hair with a wide tooth comb and add some of your favorite detangling product for some slip before washing your hair. Cheapie conditioners are perfect for detangling before shampoo.

2.Pre-poo your hair
Have hair that gets really dry after each shampoo? Try pre-pooing! Coconut oil is great to prepoo with as it helps prevent the hair from experiencing hygral fatigue and can prevent your hair from getting too stripped.
3.Water Temperature Matters
Hot water will dry out your hair and leave it with a stripped feeling while washing with lukewarm to cool water does not. You are more likely to retain more moisture with cooler temperatures.
Warmer temperatures are great for when you need to remove a lot of buildup from your lovest hair such as Brazilian body wave virgin human hair but it can also remove your hair’s natural oils leaving it with a dry feeling.

Cold showers aren’t fun, but that’s when a removable shower head comes into play. You can direct the water to your hair rather than your entire body.
4 Co-wash instead of shampoo wash
A conditioner will usually have enough cleansing agents to remove dirt, oil, and buildup from your hair without being too rough on it. So if you find that your hair gets too dry after washes opt for using only conditioner.
Keep in mind that you’ll still have to shampoo every so often to remove product buildup, so if you wash your hair 4 times a month: 3 times you can co-wash and 1 time you can shampoo if your hair and scalp tolerate it.
5.If you shampoo use a sulfate-free brand
Sulfates are the worse! The last time, I used a shampoo with sulfate. It left my hair so dry. Avoid this ingredient at all costs and use moisturizing shampoos that are designed for dry hair.
6 Wash your hair in sections
If your hair tangles easily, you may want to try washing in sections. You can accomplish this by braiding or twisting your Malaysian body wave hair into 4 or more sections.7 Use clips to help keep your sections in place
If you have tried braiding or twisting your hair before washing, you know plaits have a tendency to unravel. Use butterfly clips to hold them in place.
8.Deep Condition Your Hair Often
Deep conditioning will improve your hair’s manageability, moisture, and will make your styling process easier. When you have used a good deep conditioner you can tell because the detangling process is way smoother!
