As a naturalista, one quickly learns that their shampoo routine will out grow the normal guidelines for those with processed and/or straight tresses.

Over shampooing can cause tight, brittle locks, so typically, curly girls won’t do it as often to avoid stripping their follicles of the essential oils and nutrients. Although the hair naturally creates its own oils, we enjoy adding more with our favorite products, treatments and stylers. Product usage can become a problem when finding the balance between using the products you love and being sure to remove build up from the scalp and hair.
