We understand that maintaining your hair can be a unique journey, and proper washing techniques are essential for keeping those beautiful curls, kinks, and coils healthy and vibrant. In this article, we'll share our Honey Beez Natural Hair Care expert tips on how to wash textured hair to achieve the best results. Let's dive in!
1. Pre-Wash Preparation:
Before you even step into the shower, take some time to prepare your hair for washing.
Detangling Gently detangle your hair using your fingers or a wide-toothed comb. This step helps prevent unnecessary breakage during the washing process.
Pre-Poo: Consider applying a pre-shampoo treatment or oil to your hair. This helps to add extra moisture and protection.
2. Choosing the Right Shampoo:
Selecting the right shampoo is crucial for textured hair. Look for sulfate-free, hydrating, and pH-balanced shampoos. These products cleanse without stripping your hair of its natural oils. We recommend any of the Honey Beez Shampoos as they are all Sulfate Free and Moisturizing.

3. Wetting Your Hair:
Thoroughly wet your hair with warm water before applying shampoo. This helps to open the hair cuticles and allows the product to penetrate effectively.
4. Shampoo Application:
Focus on Scalp: Apply the shampoo to your scalp and massage gently with your fingertips. Concentrate on cleaning your scalp, as this is where dirt and product buildup accumulate.
5. Rinse and Repeat:
- Rinse Thoroughly: Make sure to rinse the shampoo out of your hair completely. Leaving residue can lead to dryness and scalp issues.
- Repeat if Needed: If your hair was particularly dirty or if you have a lot of product buildup, you can repeat the shampooing process. (Honey Beez recommends washing your hair at least 2x)
6. Conditioning:
- Use Honey Beez Hydrating Conditioner: Opt for a deep-conditioning or hydrating conditioner that is tailored to textured hair.
- Detangle Again: While the conditioner is in your hair, use a wide-toothed comb to detangle gently. This will help with manageability.
- Use Honey Beez 4C Love leave-in conditioner: a leave-in conditioner to lock in moisture after conditioning your hair.
7. Final Rinse:
- Cool Water: Finish with a rinse of cool water to seal the hair cuticles and add shine.
- Pat Dry: Gently pat your hair dry with a microfiber towel or an old t-shirt to avoid excess friction.
8. Post-Wash Care:
- Moisturize: Apply Honey Beez Moisturizer or Honey Beez Growth Potion oil to your hair to keep it hydrated.
- Protective Styling: Consider protective hairstyles to minimize manipulation and breakage between washes.
