Cleaning

  1. Before shampooing, check that all hair is thoroughly wet. Apply no more than one teaspoon if your hair is short and about the size of a tablespoon if your hair is long.
  1. Always rinse out all shampoo thoroughly to prevent product residue from killing the shine of your hair.
  1. Don't wash your hair every day or it will dry out. Two or three times a week is sufficient.

  1. After washing just wrap it in the towel for a few minutes to absorb the moisture. Do not rub it. When it is wet it is more fragile than ever.
