General Washing Procedure

Step 1: Straighten the hair Before getting down to the main business, you would need to straighten the weave. A good way to this is to partition your Brazilian virgin hair into two sections. One part of the hair should be made to drop to the back; while the other part is brought to the front, typically resting on the chest. The next thing to do is to brush the wig using either a paddle brush or a wig comb to remove any tangles.

Step 2: Make the hair wet The next step is to make the hair wet; however care must be taken not to soak up the weave. In order to ensure this, you should bend your head downwards into a bowl of water or place the hair in a sink. The goal is to prevent the water from reaching areas beneath the tracks as this could pose a problem if the tracks are glued. The general rule is to start from the weft, close to the tracks, and work your way downwards using warm water.

Step3: Shampoo the hair The wetting of the hair is to be followed with washing with moisturizing shampoo. Shampooing your normally involves immersing the weave into a basin a bowl of warm water. Prior to this, you need to add a little quantity of the shampoo, say one tablespoon, to the warm water.

The final thing to do here is to rinse the shampoo completely out of the hair. This can either be done in a bowl of warm water or by placing the hair under running water. While at it, please note that hair should not be squeezed but rather, it should blot with a soft towel.

It is quite a simple process that requires you to apply a small quantity of the conditioner to your hand, and then work it through the hair.

The final step here is to rinse the conditioner off from the hair by placing it under warm, running water. In place of a regular conditioner, a conditioning spray can also be used to condition the hair.

Step 6: Dry the hair. There are so many options when it comes to drying the hair. The most common method is using a hair drier and this is usually the fastest.
