Wash day plan

1. 1

   Detangle first

   Brush or comb dry hair gently, starting at the ends and working up. Less tangling means less pulling in the shower.

   Check the label: Tool or product directions

2. 2

   Wet and shampoo

   Wet hair well with comfortably warm water. Use the amount the directions suggest, mostly on the scalp, and massage with fingertips.

   Check the label: Directions: amount and how often

3. 3

   Rinse thoroughly

   Rinse until the water runs clear and the hair no longer feels slippery. Leftover product can make hair feel heavy.

   Check the label: Warnings: eyes and skin

4. 4

   Condition the lengths

   Apply conditioner mainly from mid-lengths to ends, as directed, and leave it for the time the label suggests.

   Check the label: Directions: leave-on time

5. 5

   Dry kindly

   Squeeze out water with a soft towel. Let hair air dry partway, and use the lowest heat setting that gets the job done.

   Check the label: Tool manual: heat settings
