Don't Rush Your Washday!

With hair dressers and hair salons closing due to the current global pandemic, all of our safety nets have dropped with the sudden realisation that we’re going to have to wash and take care of our own hair. Shocker right?!


Instead of this being daunting, let’s use this as a way to get to know our hair a little bit more. What hair products it likes and doesn’t like, what protective styles help to retain moisture and which ones don’t! Either this is the perfect time to test and trial a lot of things!

What we’ll be discussing today in particular is the step before washing your hair! Many ladies forget that the process of washing your hair can actually start a whole day beforehand, we call this pre-shampooing or doing a pre-poo. This is when you prepare your hair for all the products you’ll be using to remove dirt, product build up and cleanse the scalp. Unknown to most, the shampoos we use are very abrasive with strong chemicals to strip the hair strands, so pre-shampooing is vital to ensuring your hair isn’t stripped of its key nutrients and remains soft during the next steps.
