Clean Hair, Fresh Start: HKB Back-to-School Cleansing Tips

As the school year kicks off, let's talk about one of the most important steps in your hair care routine: cleansing! Yes. You read that right. Keeping your hair clean and hydrated is key to maintaining those beautiful kinks, coils and curls. Here are five essential tips to help you cleanse your afro-textured hair like a pro.

✨ 5 Cleansing Tips for Afro-Textured Hair ✨

1. Pre-detangle and Pre-Poo: This step helps reduce dryness and breakage. It is essentially how you prep your hair before you shampoo. How extensive it is, is dependent on the condition of your hair. It could be as simple as a quick finger detangle if you have a consistent routine and your hair isn’t overly tangled; to a full on detangle session with products and tools if you went long between your wash-days and/or your hair has lots of tangles. 
2. Choose the Right Shampoo: Use our Balancing Shampoo to gently cleanse your hair, while still offering some conditioning. It's perfect for regular use and keeps your hair feeling fresh, hydrated and not stripped.
3. Wash in Sections: Afro-textured hair can be dense, so washing in sections ensures you reach every strand. This method helps you cleanse thoroughly and prevents tangling. It also ensures that your shampoo is washed out thoroughly to mitigate and minimize scalp irritation.
4. Massage Your Scalp: Use your fingertips to get the shampoo directly on your scalp and to give it a good massage! This is said to stimulate blood flow, promotes hair growth, and helps remove buildup.
5. Keep Your Hair Stretched: Our hair LOVES to hug up on each other. Keeping your hair as stretched a possible during the shampoo process minimizes tangles and breakage, saving you a tremendous amount of time and protecting your sanity during the process.

💡 Extra HKB Tip: For extra hydration, follow up with our Nourishing Conditioner. Your hair will feel softer and more manageable, making ‘wash-days’ a whole lot easier!
