Your hair will look its best if it's moisturized, but sulfates dry out your hair. Check the labels on the products you use to make sure they say "sulfate-free." This applies to shampoo, conditioner, leave-in sprays, and any styling products you use. You don't need to wash your hair every day, and doing so may dry out your hair because it removes your natural oils. However, thick hair may get greasy if you skip too many days between washes. Shampoo your hair every other day to keep your hair clean and moisturized. For instance, you might wash your hair on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday. You can use conditioner between washes if you like. Conditioner moisturizes your hair and helps make it more manageable. Use your fingers to apply a dollop of conditioner to your hair after you shampoo. Comb it through your strands using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to coat your hair. Wait 3-5 minutes before you rinse out your hair. Put your conditioner on your hair before you do other shower activities, like bathing and shaving. This way you can do these things while the conditioner sets. Detangling thick hair is a big job, and it's likely very frustrating for you. Using a wide-tooth comb to detangle your hair in the shower can make it much easier to care for your hair. Before you rinse off your conditioner, comb your hair to remove any knots and tangles. Start at your ends and work your way to your roots. Always start at the ends of your hair so you can minimize breakage and damage. Cool water gives you shinier hair because it closes your hair cuticles, which makes your strands lay flatter. Turn the water faucet to its cool setting when it's time to rinse the conditioner out of your hair. Then, rinse your hair until it's free of product. Make sure you get out all of the conditioner so it doesn't make your hair look greasy. Be careful when toweling off your hair. Never rub your hair with a towel because this can cause damage or frizz. Instead, gently blot your hair using a soft towel. You can also wrap your hair in a terry cloth towel or an old t-shirt.
Pick sulfate-free, moisturizing hair products that will nourish your hair. Wash your hair about 3 times per week with warm water. Leave conditioner on your hair for 3-5 minutes every time you wash. Comb your hair in the shower while the conditioner is still on it. Rinse your hair with cool water to close the cuticle. Blot away excess water using a soft towel after your shower.
