How does Ashley Devonna Wash Her Hair?

1. Drench the hair in water and run the brush through the hair after applying the shampoo, parting the hair into two sections. Then take additional shampoo to take care of the edges and the back of the head. And don't forget to massage the scalp and the closure, you can gently use nails(her nails are long acrylic nails) to run through the braiding pattern and closure.

2. And apply conditioner to your hair. Have the conditioner on your hair for minutes, then wash the conditioner out of the hair to make sure all the product is out. And she uses a long-sleeve shirt to tie up her hair and extensions.

Here is an advice, choose your shampoo and conditioner wisely. You need to have some volumizing shampoo if you have thinning or plan to have a thicker hair look. And opt for shampoos and conditioners that aim at moisturizing hair if you suffer from dry hair, especially in fall and winter.

Avoid shampoo that contains sulfates. Some sulfates can wash the natural oil out of your hair. But for colored hair, such as highlight bundles. The hair color will become less vibrant after washing with a sulfate shampoo.

3. Use the hooded dryer for 45 minutes, dry the braids underneath the sew-in weaves.

4. Use essentials peppermint and aloe tonic, tonic does not make the hair greasy and leave you feeling way down. The peppermint can give you a clean feeling and the aloe is for soothing the scalp. And nourish the weaves and scalp while massaging the closure.

5. Dry the hair and make sure the hair is 100% dry with a hairdryer.
