In this video I’m taking you through my go-to wash day routine for my Type 4 low porosity hair after I’ve just taken down my braids. It’s late (like 7/8pm) and I already know it’s about to be long, but my hair really needed a proper reset—my scalp needed clarifying, and my curls needed some love after all the product and time in a protective style. I start with a bentonite clay + apple cider vinegar detox mask (yes, it gets messy, so take it to the bathroom). I apply it to dirty hair, damp my sections so it actually sticks and works properly, then leave it on for around 20–30 minutes before rinsing. After that I double-cleanse: first with a deep cleansing shampoo to make sure everything is really out, then I follow with a moisturising shampoo because low porosity hair can feel dry if you’re not careful. I deep condition, detangle with my favourite comb/brush combo, then I show you my blow dry process and the two tools I use—plus my honest thoughts on the blow dryer I’m trying to replace. My biggest takeaway: assess your hair every wash day and choose products based on what it needs right now.
