Wash your hair depending on its type, texture, and how oily it gets. Oily hair may need daily washing, while dry hair can go longer.

Conditioning keeps hair soft and manageable. Use a conditioner suited to your hair, leave it in for 2–3 minutes, and rinse thoroughly.

Don’t over-shampoo or use too much product. Avoid hot water, and treat wet hair gently to prevent breakage. Use a wide-tooth wooden comb preferably for detangling.
