Completely saturating your hair with water before introducing shampoo is key to having an easier time in the shower, AND using less shampoo.
**For some people due to:
1) non-water soluble products heavy in oils/butters/waxes OR using RAW oils/butters/waxes
2) going too long in between washing (the *minimum* is 5 days)
3) Virgin hair is naturally low porosity
4) Coarse hair has a thicker cuticle layer
It may take up to 15 minutes to complete saturate your hair with water.
@TheHairlockSupreme
So one should only wash one’s hair every 5 days?
@daWginIL the word "minimum" is defined as the least frequent.
One can always be *more* frequent
This is why we're concerned with going too long in between washing (past the 5 days, some people go 4+weeks, and that can cause yeast infections and dry and brittle damage), but we're not concerned with washing every hour, if you so chose to (except for contact dermatitis reasons).
