Is there a special way to shampoo my Virgin Hair?
Because Virgin hair is not getting nutrients from the natural scalp oils, its very important to take care of your high quality hair. Wash hair with a quality moisturizing shampoo and conditioner at least once a week Use warm water not hot water. Before you wash the hair, gently comb through hair with a wide-toothed comb, starting at the ends first, working your way to the top. While washing, do not pile hair on top of your head, instead wash in the shower in a downward motion to prevent tangling. Do not apply shampoo directly to the top of your head, but a diluted amount in your hands, and then apply to the ends and middle, gently washing in a downward motion. Gently lift the tracks up and massage your scalp and your own hair. Rinse hair thoroughly to prevent chemical buildups. Blot dry with a towel and let it air dry. Apply a quality moisturizing hair lotion and style as usual.
