Washing

Usually with the topic of washing natural hair, you think of co-washing first. However, for type 1 hair co-washing isn't necessary because of the texture of the hair and the hair and the fact that the shampoo reaches the scalp with regular washing.

When washing your hair:

1. Use a light, natural shampoo, so the natural oils in your hair aren't all washed out. Using "commercial" shampoos can damage your hair, because of all the detergents and unnatural products they contain. They can strip your hair of their natural oils, causing your hair to become brittle and dry.
2. Gently massage your scalp.
3. Glide your hands down the hair to make sure the ends are also cleaned (Shown Below).
4. Make sure you get shampoo on your actual hair and ends, to keep them strong and healthy.
5. DO NOT use extremely hot water, or cold water. Use lukewarm water when washing your hair, so that you actually clean your hair, while not drying out the hair.
6.  Use a light all natural conditioner, to clean and condition your hair without stripping the hair of its natural oils.

Drying:

• When blow drying type 1 hair medium heat is recommended, also you do not need to use the "comb" piece to the brush because it is made to dry and somewhat straighten/ detangle hair; and type 1 hair is naturally straight.
• Also drying your hair with a towel or T-shirt can dry your hair well.
• Air-drying is another option.

There are a multitude of options to choose from when drying type 1 hair, because  it is hard to damage but easy to dry.
