“Everyone’s natural hair is different so you have to find what works for you, your lifestyle, and your hair,” explains hairstylist, owner of Aesthetics Hair Salon in Arlington, Virginia and founder of Brown Beauty Summit, Yene Damtew. “Everyone’s curl experience is different and not everyone has all the time in the morning to do their hair. “If you are coming out of a protective style, it’s critical that you detangle before you shampoo [while hair is dry],” Damtew explains. My next and last step is to squeeze the excess water out and apply the conditioner to the mid-shaft and ends [of my hair]. Co-Washing Is Cool, But Shampoo Works TooDue to the inherent dryness of curly hair (since natural oils don’t travel as far down the hair shaft), co-washing — cleansing with a shampoo alternative similar to a conditioner — has picked up popularity.
