Iri’s Guide to Silky Hair
1) Use good quality shampoo and conditioners- they don’t have to be super expensive either. I use John Frieda Beyond Smooth Frizz Immunity shampoo and conditioner and they’re only $9.99 each. They leave my hair super soft and silky, and very healthy. I’ve tried a lot of different brands (including more expensive ones) and John Frieda remains my favorite
2) Let conditioner soak in hair for about 5 minutes
3) Detangle hair in shower while before rinsing out conditioner
4) Rinse hair with cold water
5) Find a good leave in conditioner/detangling spray. I love Not Your Mother’s All Eyes On Me 10-in-1 hair perfector. I spray it on immediately after leaving shower while my hair is still soaking wet. It only takes a few sprays, I usually do 3 on each side of my head starting at the ends of my hair and doing the last spray at about my ear level and it does a wonderful job of preventing tangles and getting rid of any that showed up after detangling hair in the shower.
6) Comb hair out and let air dry. I don’t use a towel or anything, I just let mine drip/air dry. Since it takes a long time for my hair to dry I always wash it right before bed. Using a silk pillowcase will help prevent tangles while you sleep and in my experience the All Eyes On Me leave in spray does a great job of preventing tangles even without using a silk pillow case
