Washing Type 3 Hair:

Type 3 hair is where many natural and thick curls are formed and more tangles appear. Co-washing is useful for type 3 hair because it helps the shampoo and conditioner reach the root of the hair; getting the roots, and scalp clean.

• For type 3 hair use a thick/ heavy conditioner.
• When co-washing separate the hair into 4 or more sections.Then wet a section of air, and add a fair amount of shampoo. Once you've added the shampoo, comb the hair to remove any tangles. Repeat each step for every section of the hair.
• When washing the hair, the hair should not have tangles.
• Massage the scalp of the hair, to make sure the roots get a deep cleansing.
• Rub the soap all over the hair to make sure the ends are also getting clean.
• Rinse the hair with warm water.

Drying

When drying type 3 hair, you can either air dry the hair, blow dry the hair with a brush, or blow dry the hair with a comb.

• When air drying, use a T-shirt to absorb and dripping water. Then let the rest of the hair air dry.
• When drying with a blow dryer and a brush, run the brush down the hair, while going over the hair with the blow dryer. While this may not completely de-tangle the hair, it helps dry the hair while leaving some natural curls.
• When blow drying with a comb, you may want to use heat protectant because blow dryers get very hot, and type 3 hair is very easily damaged by heat. Drying with this method gives the hair a straight look.
