Washing:

When it comes to a good quality routine, limiting the amount of washes is really your best bet. Washing your curls with shampoo can strip your hair of natural moisture. Therefore, you should consider switching to a cowash, and shampooing your hair only once or twice a week. When you do wash, use warm water to help loosen any build up, and then rub your scalp in a slow, circular motions to stimulate blood flow. Rinse your curls with cool water to allow the shampoo to rinse through your curls, and to close your cuticle back down.

After you wash your curls, it’s imperative to follow up with a conditioner or deep conditioning treatment. Cover your curls completely with the conditioner, and allow it to sit on your curls for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour if your strands are particularly dry.
