 Hey curl friends, I'm Bianca Renee and you watching Bianca Renee today, and I'm coming to you live from in my shower I've never actually spoken to you while in the shower, but here we go So today I wanted to show you how you should properly be washing your hair and conditioning and the difference between Clarifying shampoos moisturizing shampoos regular conditioners and deep conditioners when should you use what today's video is sponsored by Not Your Mothers, so thank you for sponsoring this video. I love so many of their products because they have a whole Naturals line that is sulfate, paraben and silicone free So I'm going to show you some of my favorite Not Your Mothers products in today's video So first let's talk about a clarifying shampoo versus a moisturizing shampoo a clarifying shampoo will actually say Clarifying on the bottle or it might say Sculpt care Cleansing those are types of words that you know are gonna get a really good deep clean on your scout And that is the main place where shampoo should be applied You don't want to apply shampoo to the lengths of your hair You want to start at your scalp and then you can work it down if it's necessary So for example the new Not Your Mothers curl talk scalp care cleansing oil It's supposed to gently cleanse or remove buildup while restoring natural oils This does have peppermint in it So a lot of scalp products will have peppermint that gives it that nice cooling sensation And what I love about this one is that it has a little nozzle a little like rubber tip So I could just apply this directly to my scalp Now the difference between these two is that this one actually says massage into scalp using direct applicator Or a regular moisturizing shampoo will just say lather and work into wet hair So if my hair really needed to be cleaned I would probably use a moisturizing shampoo to put on the lengths of my hair where a scout care or a very Clarifying shampoo I would only focus on my scalp. It's not like about how to apply them You don't want to do the whole like dramatic rubber dub dub on the top of your head And we often seen commercials all you're doing is creating more tangles as you mix it around on the top of your head I will admit sometimes they get a little too lather crazy and I just start massaging like those commercials But I'm really not doing anything to help detangle my hair Well that's a better just to get your fingers onto your scalp and then massage more of the scalp and not really get your hair Involved it is also crucial to take this time to massage your scalp That's how you get the blood flowing which will increase circulation which could help with hair growth So you might not remember to massage your scalp Maybe before you go to bed or in the middle of the day But at least do it when you shower while you're massaging in whatever cleansing product you've put in when applying a Moisturizing shampoo that's when it's okay to then go to the lengths of your hair I would still start at the roots on your scalp and then just smooth down Whatever remaining product is you don't even apply more shampoo to the actual mids or ends of your hair So it's feel free to just smooth it in going down so you can start detangling and of course These shampoos are sulfate free once you rent out the shampoo. Let's talk conditioners Should you use a deep conditioner or a hair mask or a regular conditioner? It depends on where you are on the week. I always recommend the deep condition once a week So if you have a deep condition yet, this could be your deep conditioning day Then if for some reason you have to shower again, you know the deep condition twice a week I would just then use a conditioner on that second wash. So when it comes to choosing a regular conditioner I always like to find a conditioner that is silicone free and one that smells good and has amazing slip So here I have the not your mother's Tahitian gardenian flour and mango butter curl defining Conditioner all the not your mother's natural conditioners have the same like thick consistency Which makes it really easy to detangle this one is supposed to restore bounce to enhance and define curls It has a really pretty floral scent and it does a really good job at detangling all of my knots Now let's talk about how to properly apply the conditioner You don't want to just get a whole bunch and apply it to your scalp. No, that is what we use shampoo for But conditioner you apply to the mids or ends of your hair where your hair is usually most dry now before I knew what to do I would just kind of scrunch all the conditioner in there smooth it down and then start detangling but the better way to detangle is by taking a small section and Smoothing the conditioner into your hair So you literally grab your thumb on one end and use your thumb to press that product into your hair Smoothing down the hair shaft and it's also going to help eliminate frizz So just keep doing this over and over again and eventually look at that all the tangles are gone So once I learned to actually smooth the product into my hair and rub it until all the tangles are gone I realized that there are some conditioners that I thought I didn't like but it really was me. I was the problem I was applying it incorrectly, but once I learned this little technique Detangling has been so much easier. I've noticed that when I finger detangle my curls look a little bit more Elongated because I'm kind of stretching them down versus if I use a brush I will actually be able to detangle faster, but I also get more definition, which then makes more shrinkage So as long as you're a cool with that definition Shrinking up go ahead and use a brush if you do decide to use a brush Don't just get a brush and go straight to the top of your head and then yank everything down That's how you rip out all your hair You actually want to start at your ends Slowly detangle your ends and then work your way up to the top of your head until eventually all the tangles are gone Brush versus finger detangling is totally your preference So as many of you know my favorite deep conditioner period is by not your mother's which is their matcha green tea and wild apple blossom It's a nutrient rich butter mask deep conditioning with antioxidants to help restore damaged hair So although it is also a conditioner It is packed with even more nutrients than a regular conditioner because you allow us to sit in your hair for 20 minutes With a shower cap now if you want you could use your conditioner Rinse it out and then apply a deep conditioner once you get out of the shower Or you could skip your regular conditioner and just use a deep conditioner as your regular conditioner Slash hair mask and then rinse it out totally up to you and how much moisture your hair needs If you decide to use a hair mask, then I would put a very good thick amount So you could actually see the product on your hair wrap it up on the top of your head Put on a shower cap and then you could either continue with the rest of your shower body wash face wash Shaving and then by that time it might be time to rinse it out Another tip I have for you is to make sure you condition the very back of your head This part is often neglected because we can't see it, but everyone else can you also might realize that this is a part of your hair That's always sitting under the water So while you are washing your face washing your body shaving try not to just stand under the water Because then all that hot water is just really attacking the back of your hair So as much as I am guilty of loving hot showers I really try to cool down the temperature so that hot water is not blasting on my hair in turn Kind of creating heat damage. So if you're someone that's noticed that the back of your head is always frizzy It could be because of the hot water You're letting just smack it in the face throughout your whole shower Another tip I have for you when it comes to detangling is to think about how you actually going to wear your hair If you're going to wear your hair in a middle part Then it's okay to brush in two sections and keep that middle part But if you have bangs or you wear a side part or you just don't want a middle part at all Don't create one in the shower because it's gonna become really hard to get rid of that middle part My hair was like trained to fall this way So you kind of have to train it to not do that and start to create Different parts depending on how you wear your hair. So once I'm done detangling both sides I've been like to flip my hair over and rake my fingers through to get rid of that part That's also gonna help create more volume at your roots that way roots just don't look flat and boring So that is how I would recommend you having a successful wash day.
