The Basics: Shampoo

STOP WITH THE SHAMPOO!!! 

Seriously. Stop it. Like almost completely. 

 I shampoo my hair about once a month. Every two weeks if I'm feeling especially generous and motivated (aka never). Shampooing curly hair like the WGA steals all the natural oils you're producing and dries out the hair. You know all the frizz you hate? The frizz you battle with daily and buy expensive products to try and tame? Yeah, you're helping cause it. Quit shampooing every time you shower. The only times you should shampoo are once a month or when you're at the salon, and when you do shampoo use a kind with a lot of moisturizers. I like Biolage Hydrathèrapie Hydrating Shampoo which you can get at Target, Walgreens or Walmart for about $25, but if you're looking for something cheaper I've found that most drugstore brands work almost as well (I would go for Herbal Essences Hello Hydration!). Limiting your shampoos will help your curls look shinier, healthier and will help eliminate some of the frizzy fuzzy look that seems impossible to escape.
