How many times do you skip wash day?

2025/5/8 Edited to

... Read moreSkipping wash day can be a common occurrence for many, especially for those with curly or natural hair. The reasons can vary from time constraints to simply not feeling like going through the wash and styling process. For those embracing their natural textures, it’s important to prioritize hair health by establishing a regular cleansing routine. Regular washing can help maintain scalp health, remove product buildup, and ensure vibrant curls. To make wash day more enjoyable, consider incorporating a self-care aspect to it. Set aside time to pamper yourself, play some music, or try out new hair products that excite you. The concept of wash day varies from person to person, but understanding its importance to hair wellness is crucial. Research shows that a healthy moisturizing routine combined with regular cleansing can lead to better-looking and feeling hair. Using natural oils during the wash can also provide additional moisture and shine. Additionally, engaging with online communities around hair care via hashtags such as #curlyhair and #highpuff can offer support and motivation. Next time wash day rolls around, remember the benefits and try to enjoy the process as part of your hair journey.

Low Porosity Talk: Wash Day Mistakes - Day 2
One of the biggest mistakes beginners make with low porosity hair is using the same wash routine every single week. Low porosity hair has tightly compacted cuticles. Because moisture penetrates slowly and buildup forms easily, your hair’s needs shift depending on what is happening that week.
