Let’s be honest—sometimes washday just has to wait. For those of us with curly and coily hair taking hours out of your day for a full routine just isn’t always possible. So, rather than doing a rushed job, it’s often better to prolong it. In my opinion, opting for an easy hairstyle until you have a day to do your full pre-wash detangle, cleanse, mask, condition and style normally yields better conditioned curls and coils in the long run.
Trust me—there are so many ways you can hide that you’ve skipped your washday but a stylish updo is the fastest way to disguise any frizz or product build-up that you might be contending with. Plus, wearing a different style is the perfect way bring a little something new to your Zoom look. If you’re worried about the condition of your hair between washdays, Natasha John Lewis, co-owner of My Hair Bar salon suggests a light spritz to rehydrate curls that might be lacking moisture. “Using a conditioning spray such as the KeraCare Detangling Conditioner Mist (£8) will help in between washdays,” Lewis explains. Keeping your hair and scalp hydrated with light products will help keep product build-up becoming noticeable too quickly.
