How To Make Shampooing/Co Washing Easier

Sun, 4 Jan 2009 15:02:51 GMT

The Crown & Glory Technique (Revised)

Have your hair in large braids to shampoo your hair. In the shower, pour streams
of diluted shampoo and warm water over your large braids. In a large cup,
squeeze to shampoo or conditioner and rinse and rinse by squeezing.
While the braids are still in. This will make your hair easier to untangle and comb
through.Take one braid down at a time and gently comb through with a wide
toothed comb, using The Crown & Glory Technique and then rinse by squeezing
your hair as you pour the water. Squeezing will help with the rinse. Braid the
section back up. Repeat with all of your braid sections. After you have done
all sections, your hair should still remain in the big loose braids. Take each
section down to add hair strengthener and oil. Oil will give it more moisture
after it air dries. Air dry your hair to keep in moisture.
